Rank the following elements by increasing atomic radius carbon aluminum oxygen potassium

Biology
1 answer:
Vlada [557]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The elements in increasing order of atomic radius: oxygen, carbon, aluminum, potassium

Explanation:

The distance from the center of the nucleus to the outermost shell of the electron is known as the atomic radius of an element. The atomic radius decreases rightward along each period (row) of the table due to the increase in effective nuclear charge (the charge of the nucleus equal to the number of protons). Across a period, electrons are added to the same energy level and the increasing number of protons causes the nucleus to exert more pull on these electrons, which makes the atomic radius smaller.  Atomic radius increases down each group (column) of the periodic table because of the addition of electrons to higher energy levels, which are further away from the nucleus and the pull of nucleus weakens. Another reason for the increase in atomic radius is the electron shielding effect, which is the reduction of the attractive force between a nucleus and its outer electrons due to the blocking effect of inner electrons

While moving from left to right in the second period, c arbon comes before  oxygen  and so oxygen will have a smaller atomic radius than  carbon. While moving down the periodic table, al uminum comes before  potassium even if they are not in the same period. So aluminum 's atomic radius will be smaller than that of  potassium  but bigger than that of  carbon  and  oxygen.

A client visits an orthopedic specialist because of pain beginning in the low back and radiating behind the right thigh and down
Elena L [17]

ANSWER: The origin of the pain is from the intervertebral disks of the lumbosacral spine.

EXPLANATION:

Sciatica is pain in the lower extremity resulting from irritation of the sciatic nerve.

The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body and begins from nerve roots in the lumbar spinal cord in the low back and extends through the buttock area to send nerve endings down the lower limb.

Sciatica is caused by irritation of the root(s) of the lower lumbar and lumbosacral spine. Additional common causes of sciatica include: Lumbar spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back) Degenerative disc disease (breakdown of discs, which act as cushions between the vertebrae).

Binocular vision, the ability to focus both eyes on the same object at the same time, usually does not develop until ?
vekshin1

Binocular vision, the ability to focus both eyes on the same object at the same time, usually does not develop until  4-5 months of age.

Binocular vision is the type of vision in which both the eyes look in the same direction to form a 3-D image of the object. One single image is formed by both the eyes. When any disorder appears regarding the binocular vision, the core reason is the misalignment of both the eyes.

Eyes are the organs of vision. They are present in a pair embedded in a socket like region on the skeleton below the forehead. The image is formed at the retina of the eye. The image formed is an upside down image.
