The radius of a lithium atom is 130 picometers, and the radius of a fluorine atom is 60 picometers. The radius of a lithium ion,

Li⁺, is 59 picometers, and the radius of a fluoride ion, F⁻, is 133 picometers.Explain, in terms of subatomic particles, why the radius of a lithium ion is smaller than the radius of a lithium atom.

Answer:

A positive ions is always smaller than the corresponding atom.

A negative ion is always larger than the corresponding atom.

Explanation:

The reason for this is that, when a positive ion is formed, a full shell is usually removed with its electrons thereby reducing the size of the electron cloud and decreasing the size of the electron cloud.

A negative ion is formed by addition of more electrons to the electron cloud hence it spreads out. Interelectronic repulsion accounts for the larger size of the negative ion.

Mole ratio compares the subscripts of two compounds in a balanced reaction.
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The correct option is FALSE

Explanation:

Mole ratio is the ratio of the number of moles of two compounds in a balanced chemical reaction. Number of moles of a compound in a chemical reaction is the number written before the compound.

For example, the mole ratio of Iron (Fe) and water (H₂O) in the equation below is 3:4

3Fe + 4H₂O  ⇒  Fe₃O₄ + 4H₂

Thus, mole ratio does not compare subscripts of compounds.

24. The air in a small 250 cm birthday balloon is at a pressure of 760 torr. A boy sits on it at
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

1.14atm

Explanation:

Given parameters:

V1 = 250cm³ ;

              1000cm³ = 1dm³;  so this is 0.25dm³

P1  = 760torr

            760torr  = 1atm

       

V2  = 220cm³ ; 0.22dm³

Unknown:

New pressure = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply Boyle's law and we use the expression below:

       P1 V1 = P2V2

The unknown is P2;

            1 x 0.25  = P2 x 0.22

                 P2  = 1.14atm
