what the reactivity trend for the periodic table
The farther to the left and down the periodic chart you go, the easier it is for electrons to be given or taken away, resulting in higher reactivity. Period - reactivity increases as you go from the left to the right across a period. Group - reactivity decreases as you go down the group.

because the outer electrons get further from the nucleus
The quantum number n=2 describes _____ orbitals.
four Within the shell n=2 there are two possible subshells, ℓ=0 and ℓ=1. ℓ=0 indicates a 2s orbital, which has only one possible value for mℓ or one possible orbital. ℓ=1 indicates a 2p orbital, which has three possible values for mℓ or three possible orbitals. In total, n=2 could represent four different orbitals.
The quantum numbers n=2 and ℓ=1 describe _____ orbital(s). two three four one
n=2 and ℓ=1 designates a 2p orbital; however, p orbitals can be oriented differently in three-dimensional space. The magnetic quantum number, mℓ, designates the orientation and can be any integer between −ℓ and ℓ. So for ℓ=1 there are three possible values for mℓ: −1, 0, 1
Which set of quantum numbers describes a 4s orbital? Please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then select the submit answer button. n=4 and ℓ=1 n=3 and ℓ=0 n=4 and ℓ=3 n=4 and ℓ=0
n=4 and ℓ=0 When designating the subshell of an orbital, the principal quantum number is reported first. The angular momentum quantum number determines the shape of the orbital, and the shape is what is reported. s orbitals are designated by ℓ=0. So a 4s orbital would be described by n=4 and ℓ=0.

B)Energy and frequency are inversely proportional. When energy increases, frequency decreases. C)Energy and frequency have an exponential relationship.

Why are the electron affinities of the halogens the most negative? A)Halogens have a low Zeff. B)Adding an electron would give halogens 9 electrons. C)Adding an electron would give halogens a full s sublevel. D)Adding an electron would give halogens a noble gas configuration.
Adding an electron would give halogens a noble gas configuration. Halogens have 7 valence electrons, so adding another electron would give them a noble gas configuration of 8 valence electrons. Having 8 valence electrons is more favorable than having 7, so they would have a highly negative electron affinity.

Chlorine has seven valence electrons and its ground state electron configuration is [Ne]3s23p5. In the excited state, one of chlorine's seven valence electrons is promoted to a higher-energy orbital. In this case that is the next highest energy orbital, the 4s orbital. This is only one of many possible excited state configurations for chlorine as the electron could be promoted to any higher energy orbital.

B)The principal quantum number of the electrons in the outermost energy level increases, causing larger orbitals. C)The principal quantum number of the electrons in the outermost energy level decreases, causing smaller orbitals.

The quantum numbers n=4 and ℓ=2 describe a 4d orbital, and mℓ describes the orientation in three-dimensional space. Only two electrons can have the same n, ℓ, and mℓ quantum numbers. One of the electrons would have a spin of +1/2 and the other would have a spin of −1/2.
