Which element has a larger atomic radius than sulfur? chlorine cadmium fluorine oxygen

Answer:

  • <u>Cadmium has larger atomic radius than sulfur.</u>

Explanation:

Down a period, atomic radii decrease from left to right due to the increase in the number of protons and electrons across a period: when a proton is added the pull of the electrons towards the nucleus is larger, so the size of the atom decreases.

Hence, you can compare the elements that belong to a same period and predict that the atom with lower atomic number (number of protons) will haver larger atomic radius. With that:

  • Oxygen and fluorine are in the period 3, being oxygen to the left of fluorine, so oxygen is larger than fluorine.

  • Sulfur and chlorine are in the period 4, being sulfur to the left of chlorine, so sulfur is larger than chlorine.

Now see whan happens down a group. Atomic radius increases from top to bottom within a group due to electron shielding. That permits you to compare the size of the elements in a group:

  • Fluorine and chlorine are in the same group (17), with chlorine directly below fluorine, so the atomic radius of chlorine is larger than the atomic radius of fluorine.

  • Sulfur and oxygen are in the same group (16), with sulfur directlly below oxygen, so sulfur the atomic radius of sulfur is larger than the atocmi radius of oxygen.

So far, you can rank the atomic radius of sulfur, chlorine, fluorine, and oxygen, in increasing order as:

  • O < F < Cl < S, concluding that O, F, and Cl have smaller atomic radius than S.

Cadmiun, Cd, is to the left and below sulfur, so both electron shielding (down a group) and increase of the number of protons (down a period) lead to predict the cadmium has a larger atomic radius than sulfur.

Nitrogen gas is introduced into a large deflated plastic bag. No gas is allowed to escape, but as more and more nitrogen is adde
Natalija [7]

Answer:

0.9307 moles have been introduced into the bag.

Explanation:

Pressure of the gas within the bag,P = 1.00 atm

Temperature of the gas remains at room temperature,T=20.0 °C = 293.15 K

Volume of the gas in the bag = V = 22.4 L

Number of moles of gas = n

Using an ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

1.00 atm\times 22.4 atm=n\times 0.0821 atm l/mol K\times 293.15 K

n = 0.9307 moles

0.9307 moles have been introduced into the bag.

Bacteria reproduce using
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Bacteria reproduce by binary fission. In this process the bacterium, which is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells. Binary fission begins when the DNA of the bacterium divides into two (replicates). ... Each daughter cell is a clone of the parent cell.

Which equations represent precipitation reactions? More than one can be chosen.
Ymorist [56]

Answer is:

A. Na₂S + FeBr₂ → 2NaBr + FeS.

B. MgSO₄ + CaCl₂ → MgCl₂ + CaSO₄.

E. AgNO₃ + NaCl → AgCl + NaNO₃.

Iron sulfide (FeS) has low solubility in water.

Calcium sulfate (CaSO₄) has low solubility in water and it will form white precipitate.

Silver chloride (AgCl) has low solubility in water and it will form white precipitate.
