Why does atomic radius increase across Period 3?

1 answer:

3 0

An atomic radius decrease across Period 3 because the number of shells not increases but the number of electron increases and the atomic size decreases as the effective nuclear charge increases.

When we move in the period 3 from left to the right the atomic radius decreases because of the reason that the the number of shells don not change they will remain the same across the period but the number of the electron will increases . the effective nuclear charge will also increases. the nucleus will attract the electrons more strongly that the reason the atomic radius decreases.

Thus, number of electron increases and the number of shells will remain same , the atomic size decreases as the effective nuclear charge increases.

A certain substance X has a normal freezing point of -6.4 C and a molal freezing point depression constant Kf= 3.96 degrees C.kg

Brut [27]

Answer: $1.0\times 10^2g$

Explanation:

Depression in freezing point is given by:

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m$

$\Delta T_f=T_f^0-T_f=(-6.4-(13.6))^0C=7.2^0C$ = Depression in freezing point

i= vant hoff factor = 1 (for non electrolyte like urea)

$K_f$ = freezing point constant = $3.96^0C/m$

m= molality

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times \frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{molar mass of solute}}\times \text{weight of solvent in kg}}$

Weight of solvent (X)= 950 g = 0.95 kg

Molar mass of non electrolyte (urea) = 60.06 g/mol

Mass of non electrolyte (urea) added = ?

$7.2=1\times 3.96\times \frac{xg}{60.06 g/mol\times 0.95kg}$

$x=1.0\times 10^2g$

Thus $1.0\times 10^2g$ urea was dissolved.

According to molecular orbital theory, the regions of the wave function with the highest probability of finding electrons are ar

Vlada [557]

According to molecular orbital theory, regions of wave function with highest probability of finding electrons are areas with constructive interference.

An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle that can exist either free or bound to an atom (not bound). A bound electron is one of the three primary types of particles that make up an atom, along with protons and neutrons. Protons, neutrons, and electrons combined make up the atom's nucleus. A proton's positive charge balances an electron's negative charge. When an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, it is said to be in a neutral state. Electrons are distinct from other particles in a number of ways. They have a much lower mass, are found outside the nucleus, and exhibit both wave- and particle-like characteristics. The electron is a basic particle.
