Which of the following processes is exothermic? Group of answer choices Allowing meat to thaw after taking it out of the freezer Popsicle melting on a warm summer day Boiling water in a beaker to convert it to steam Rolling a ball up a hill Reacting hydrogen and oxygen gases to make water

Reacting hydrogen and oxygen gases to make water

Explanation:

Exothermic means that energy is released into the environment, so let's go through the process of elimination.

Allowing meat to thaw after taking it out of the freezer - NO it is endothermic, and takes energy/heat from the environment to thaw.

Popsicle melting on a warm summer day - NO also endothermic, the opposite of exothermic.

Boiling water in a beaker to convert it to steam - NO because we need to add heat, so it doesn't release any energy.

Rolling a ball up a hill - NO, for a ball to roll up a hill, it needs energy from something else, so it's not exothermic.

Reacting hydrogen and oxygen gases to make water - YES this reaction makes new bonds, which releases energy, so this is exothermic.

i can ! i just need to know what the paragraph is! : p

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
