Control rods is regarded as a substance which can control nuclear reaction and is denoted as option A.

<h3>What is Nuclear reaction?</h3>

This is a type of reaction which involves the nuclei of an atom being split or joined together and is usually accompanied with a great amount of energy emitted in the form of heat.

The two types of nuclear reaction include:

  • Nuclear fusion
  • Nuclear fission

Nuclear fusion involves the collision of two or more nuclei in other form a new atom while nuclear fission involves splitting the atoms to form other products and involves a very high amount of energy and exposure to organisms should be prevented as the radiations can alter DNA.

Control rods are commonly used in nuclear reactors and control the rate of  fission in the fuel used. This is therefore the reason why it was chosen as the most appropriate choice.

C. If the proton number increases while the number of energy levels remains constant,
Vladimir79 [104]

It increases

The attractive force between the nucleus and the electrons INCREASES if the proton number increases while the number of energy levels remains constant.

Explanation:

Remember that protons carry a positive charge while electrons carry a negative charges. Unlike charges attract while like charges repel. An increase in the number of protons increases the positive charge of the atomic nucleus. This means that the force of attraction on the electron cloud of the atom increases.

This is why the atomic radius of atoms decreases across a period (from left to right) as the mass number of the atoms increase (while the number of electron orbitals remains the same across the period).

Generally, when going down a group on the periodic table:
max2010maxim [7]

Generally when we move down the group on a periodic table the atomic radii increases as the valency electrons occupy higher levels due to the increasing quantum number. Hence the atomic radii increases down the group.

The ionic radii increases down the group because while we move down the group the elements gain electrons and form ions called anions as an additional electron occupies the orbital the ions get bigger in size. Hence the ionic radii increase.

Electronegativity is described as the ability to attract and bind with electrons and it is a qualitative property. It decreases as we move down the group because the distance between the valency electrons and the nucleus increases. Hence electronegativity decreases down the group.

Reactivity increases as we move down the group as the metals have the tendency to lose electron form its outer shell.

Therefore the answer is ionic radii increases.

Why is it preferable to allow cold water to enter at the bottom of a condenser and exit at the top?
harkovskaia [24]
In a distillation model, it is better to let the cold water enter the bottom of the condenser and exit at the top because this can lead to a better cooling effect.
When water enters from the bottom, they will stay longer in the condenser, thus the vapor in the condenser can be cooled back into liquid faster.
In addition, this method can also save the amount of water used, since they water can stay longer in the condenser.
