Answer:

- when the decane is heated it vaporises/turns to a gas

- decane vapour/gas breaks down as it comes into contact with hot porous pot

- large molecules of decane produce smaller molecules, including ethene

Explain in terms of atomic structure why the atomic radius of K is larger than that of Na

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Potassium (K) has a larger average atomic radius (220 pm) than sodium (Na) does (180 pm). The potassium atom has an extra electron shell compared to the sodium atom, which means its valence electrons are further from the nucleus, giving potassium a larger atomic radius. The ionic radius increases in a particular group on moving from top to bottom due to increase in the principle energy shell though the number or electrons in the valence shell remain the same

draw the lewis structure for CO2, H2CO3, HCO3-, and CO3 2-.Rank these in order of increasing attraction to water molecules. Expl

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The structures are attached in file.

Hydrogen bonding and intermolecular forces is the reason for ranks allotted.

Explanation:

In determining Lewis structure, we calculate the overall number of valence electrons available for bonding. Making carbon (the least electronegative atom) the central atom in the structure, we allocate valence electrons until each atom has achieved stability.

In order of decreasing affinity to water molecules:

$CO_{3}^{2-} > HCO_{3} ^{2-} > H_{2} CO_{3}$

This is due to the fact that the $CO_{3}^{2-}$ will accept protons more readily than the bicarbonate ion, $HCO_{3} ^{2-}$ . Carbonic acid, $H_{2} CO_{3}$ will not accept any more protons, hence it is the least attractive to water molecule, even though soluble.
