Help me out guys with chemical

Of the groups of elements below, which are most likely to gain electrons to become anions? a. alkali metal b. boron group c. halogen d. transition metal

Two nitro no2 groups are chemically bonded to a patch of surface. they can't move to another location on the surface, but they can rotate (see sketch at right). it turns out that the amount of rotational kinetic energy each no2 group can have is required to be a multiple of ε, where =ε×1.010−24 j. in other words, each no2 group could have ε of rotational kinetic energy, or 2ε, or 3ε, and so forth — but it cannot have just any old amount of rotational kinetic energy. suppose the total rotational kinetic energy in this system is initially known to be 32ε. then, some heat is removed from the system, and the total rotational kinetic energy falls to 18ε. calculate the change in entropy. round your answer to 3 significant digits, and be sure it has the correct unit symbol.

The human activities in two locations are described below: location a: rampant use of plastic containers location b: excessive use of pesticides and fertilizers which statement is most likely true? location a will have poor air quality because plastic is biodegradable. location a will experience water scarcity because plastic absorbs moisture. the population of honeybees will increase in location b because production of crops will increase. the population of fish in location b will decrease because the water is contaminated.
