Will sodium iodide react with bromine to produce sodium bromide and iodine? Why or why not?

Question 10 options:

A) Yes, because bromine has lower activity than iodine

B) No, because bromine has higher activity than iodine

C) No, because bromine has lower activity than iodine

D) Yes, because bromine has higher activity than iodine

I believe its either B or D

Respuesta :

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The higher the period the higher the activity of an element, therefore, since iodine is in period 6 and bromine is in period 5, the described reaction is not possible due to the fact that bromine is less active
