Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Based on reactivity series, the reactivity of some metals in decreasing order is as follows.
Li, K, Ba, Ca, Mg, Al, Mn, Zn, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni
Thus, it can be seen that Al is more reactive than Fe, so it will replace iron in a single displacement reaction. Whereas cobalt is less reactive than iron hence, it will not replace Fe.
Fluorine being an anion will not replace a cation because in displacement reactions, only a cation can replace another cation and an anion can replace another anion.
Hence, we can conclude that Al will replace iron (Fe) in a compound during a single replacement reaction.
Answer:
Halogens are better oxidizing agents than their alkali metal counterparts within the same period
Halogens have a higher first ionization energy than their alkali metal counterparts within the same period.
Halogens have a higher electron affinity than their alkali metal counterparts within the same period.
Halogens have a higher effective nuclear charge than their alkali metal counterparts within the same period
Explanation:
Effective nuclear charge increases across a period and accounts for increase in ionization energy across a period. This explains why halogens in the same period with alkali metals have higher effective bucket charge as well as ionization energy than the alkali metals.
Similarly, electron affinity increased across a period, halogens have greater ekctron affinity than corresponding alkali metals in the same period.
