A student made a graph plotting the progress of a reaction over time. The student forgot to label the y-axis of the graph. A graph is shown with two graph lines. One graph line starts at a higher position on the y axis and slopes downwards towards the right. The other graph line starts at a lower position on the y axis and slopes upwards towards the right. The two graph lines stop short of intersecting each other and continue as separate lines which gradually become straight and parallel to the x axis. A vertical line is shown at a point where the two graph lines finally became parallel to the x axis. This vertical line is labeled equilibrium. The title on the x axis is Time and an arrow pointing towards the right is shown above Time. The title on the y axis is left blank. What best explains the label that the student should use on the y-axis? (5 points) Group of answer choices Amount, because as the amount of product decreases, the amount of reactant increases over time. Reaction rate, because forward and backward reaction become equal at equilibrium. Amount, because the amounts of reactants and products become constant after equilibrium is reached. Reaction rate, as the rate of forward reaction increases and rate of backward reaction decreases over time.

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.
