A scientist is trying to determine the identity of an element. It is highly reactive in water and forms an ionic bond with chlorine. It is also very shiny. The element is most likely

1. from group 17
2. from group 1
3. from group 15
4. a noble gas

3?

1. B

2. A and D
3. B. D. and E.
4. D
5. C. D. and E.
6. A. and B.
7. C.
8. B.
9. B.
10. D

Trust me, I got 100% on the quiz<3

The person above me is 100% correct

thank you dude, very helpful

Type webelements in your search box, and that website will give you all the kind of information of all kinds of elements.

Just click: Chemistry » Periodic Table » essential data and description

Thanks, but the thing is that I don't know what element to look for. I only have the characteristics.

did you ever find the answer

did u ever find out

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To determine the identity of an element based on the given information, we can analyze the clues provided.

1. Group 17 elements, also known as Halogens, are highly reactive in water. Chlorine is a halogen, and it forms an ionic bond with the element in question. This clue supports the possibility of the element being from group 17.

2. Group 1 elements, also known as Alkali metals, are highly reactive in water and can form ionic bonds with chlorine. However, alkali metals are not typically described as being shiny. This clue does not support the possibility of the element being from group 1.

3. Group 15 elements, also known as Pnictogens, do not generally exhibit high reactivity in water. This clue does not support the possibility of the element being from group 15.

4. Noble gases are known for their inertness and lack of reactivity. They do not form ionic bonds. This clue does not support the possibility of the element being a noble gas.

Based on the clues provided, the most likely answer is option 1: the element is from group 17.
