Which of the following elements would you expect to have properties most similar to those of chlorine (cl)? (a) cu (b)f (c) na (d) cr (e) s

Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When elements are present in a group then it means that each element of that group contains same number of valence electrons.

Therefore, because of this they tend to show similar chemical properties.

Chlorine is a halogen atom and its atomic number is 17. Hence, its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7. So, there are 7 valence electrons in it.

Atomic number of Cu is 29 and its electronic configuration is . Hence, there is only one valence electron in a Cu atom.

Fluorine (F) is also an halogen atom whose atomic number is 9. Its electronic distribution is 2, 7. Hence, it also contains 7 valence electrons.

Therefore, it will show chemical properties similar to Cl atom.

Electronic configuration of Cr is . So, there is only one valence electron present in a Cr atom.

Atomic number of sulfur (S) is 16 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 6. So, there are only 6 valence electrons in it.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options fluorine (F) element would you expect to have properties most similar to those of chlorine (Cl).

the answer is: they rebelled against saddam hussein’s rule.

kurds opposed saddam rule and wanted independence. kurds in the north and shiites in the south revolt against hussein.

for example, the halabja attack in 1988 conducted against the kurdish people by the iraqi regime under saddam hussein, where between 4000 people are killed and around 9000 are injured.

the correct answer to this question is 2
