OpenStudy (somy):
1 very reactive
2 reacts with Chlorine which means it has 1 electron ONLY to give it to chlorine BECAUSE the bond they form is IONIC (where one gives electron and another takes that electron)
so what do these points lead you to think?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
group 15

google periodic table
number of group represents number of outermost electrons of the elements in that group
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Group 1 Hydrogen
OpenStudy (somy):
there are more elements there
& H is wrong because its not shiny first of all and it doesnt for IONIC BOND but it forms covalent bond
but the answer is still group 1 :) coz it has metals in there
just remember that property-wise H is exception of group 1 elements
OpenStudy (somy):
is it clear?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
NOPE
