In an analysis of interhalogen reactivity, 0.440 mol of ICl was placed in a 5.00−L flask, where it decomposed at a high T: 2 ICl(g)

In an analysis of interhalogen reactivity, 0.440 mol of ICl was placed in a 5.00 L flask, where it decomposed at a high temperature according to the following equilibrium reaction: 2 ICl(g) ⇌ I2(g) +...

Fluorine is a toxic, reactive gas. How would you explain why it so reactive?

Fluorine is a toxic and highly reactive gas. Which representation—structural formula, electron dot structure, or three-dimensional model—would you use to explain its reactivity? I am uncertain about w...

The reactivity of an atom arises from ____?

I understand that the answer is “b. the existence of unpaired electrons in the valence shell,” but I would appreciate an explanation of why this is the case. Can anyone provide some insight into how u...
