Answer:
D) atomic radii increase from top to bottom of a group
Explanation:
Atomic radii trend along group:
As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.
As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.
Other options are incorrect because,
A) atomic radii increase from left to right across the period
Correct = atomic radii decreases from left to right across the period
B) ionization energy increases from top to bottom within a family
Correct = ionization energy decreases from top to bottom within a family
C) electronegativity decreases from left to right across a period
Correct = electronegativity increases from left to right across a period
Answer:
H2C2O4.2H20 → CO2 + CO + H2O
Explanation:
Oxalic acid crystals are nothing but dehydrated oxalic acid (H2C2O4 . 2H2O).
On heating, the water of crystallization is lost first. Then, the dehydrated oxalic acid decomposes into carbon dioxide(CO2), carbon monoxide(CO) and water(H2O).
Equations involved :
H2C2O4 . 2H2O → H2C2O4 + 2H2O
H2C2O4 → CO2 + HCOOH (FORMIC ACID)
HCOOH → CO + H2O
Overall equation : H2C2O4.2H20 → CO2 + CO + H2O
Answer:
Elements with unpaired valence electrons in the outer orbital are paramagnetic. Elements that are predicted to exhibit paramagnetic behavior may exhibit ferromagnetic behavior. Elements that contain only paired valence electrons are diamagnetic.
