Explanation:
Atomic radius can be defined as a measure of the size (distance) of the atom of a chemical element such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen etc, typically from the nucleus to the valence electrons. The atomic radius of a chemical element decreases across the periodic table, typically from alkali metals (group one elements such as hydrogen, lithium and sodium) to noble gases (group eight elements such as argon, helium and neon). Also, the atomic radius of a chemical element increases down each group of the periodic table, typically from top to bottom (column).
Additionally, the unit of measurement of the atomic radius of chemical elements is picometers (1 pm = 10 - 12 m).
1. Li or K: the atomic radius of lithium is 167 pm while that of potassium is 243 pm.
2. Ca or Ni: the atomic radius of calcium is 194 pm while that of nickel is 149 pm.
3. Ga or B: the atomic radius of gallium is 136 pm while that of boron is 87 pm.
4. O or C: the atomic radius of oxygen is 48 pm while that of carbon is 67 pm.
5. Cl or Br: the atomic radius of chlorine is 79 pm while that of bromine is 94 pm.
6. Be or Ba: the atomic radius of berryllium is 112 pm while that of barium is 253 pm.
7. Si or S: the atomic radius of silicon is 111 pm while that of sulphur is 88 pm.
8. Fe or Au: the atomic radius of iron is 156 pm while that of gold is 174 pm.
Answer:
Electron geometry- Tetrahedral
Molecular geometry- Bent
Bond angle- <<109.5°
Explanation:
According to the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory, the shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs present bon the central atom of the molecule. The electron pairs orient themselves as far apart in space as possible to minimize repulsion between electron pairs.
However, the repulsion between all electron pairs is not the same. Lone pairs cause more repulsion around the central atom than bond pairs. Hence lone pairs tend to distort the molecular structure away from that predicted on the basis of Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory.
Considering XY2Z2, there are four electron domains, two bond pairs with bonding groups at 180° apart and two lone pairs. Based on VSEPR theory, a tetrahedral shape is expected with a bond angle of about 109°.
The presence of two lone pairs distorts the observed molecular geometry to a bent shape with bond angle <<109°, hence the answer above.
A 2% saltwater is a dilute solution in which the solvent is water and the solute is salt. The solvent is the component of the solution which comprise a large percentage while the solute comprise the smaller part. When alcohol is added, the solute still is salt and the solvent is the mixture of water and alcohol.
Answer:
Dependent on the element that reacted with carbon
Explanation:
Nuclear fusion is the combination of small atomic nuclei into larger ones usually accompanied with the release of a large amount of energy.
From the problem stated, carbon fuses with another atom. The combined atom would have more nuclear particles in terms of protons and neutrons than the combining atoms. This will eventually make it weigh more than carbon and the atom it combines with. The resulting weight will depend on the combining atoms eventually.
