Atomic size generally

D. decreases as you move from left to right across a period

elements are classified into periods based on the number of energy shells.

elements that have the same number of energy shells fall into the same period.

as you go from left to right across a period, the atomic number increases. Atomic number is the number of protons. In ground state atoms the protons and electrons are the same.

so as you go across a period, the number of protons and electrons increase.

protons are positively charged and located in the nucleus. Electrons are negatively charged and are in energy shells. With higher number of protons in the nucleus, higher the positive charge in the nucleus. Then the force of attraction from the nucleus towards the electrons in the energy shells are higher.It will pull the energy shells more towards the nucleus making the atomic size smaller.

therefore atomic size decreases as you move from left to right across a period

a nuclide of 64/29 cu absorbs a positron. witch is the resulting atom? (A) 65/29Cu (B) 63/29 CU (C) 64/28Ni (D) 64/30 Zn
Nesterboy [21]

Answer : Option D) Zn^{64}_{30}

Explanation : When a positron is getting absorbed it means it will be e^{+1}_{0} so, the Cu^{64}_{29} will get converted;

So, the whole reaction will be;

Cu^{64}_{29} + e^{+1}_{0} ----> Zn^{64}_{30}.

This will convert the whole element of Cu will get changed into Zn. As, it absorbs by the positron, the atomic number gets increased from 29 to 30.

How many moles of carbon dioxide will be produced from the complete combustion of 13.6 moles of butane?
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

54.4 mol

Explanation:

the equation for complete combustion of butane is

2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ ---> 8CO₂ + 10H₂O

molar ratio of butane to CO₂ is 2:8

this means that for every 2 mol of butane that reacts with excess oxygen, 8 mol of CO₂ is produced

when 2 mol of C₄H₁₀ reacts - 8 mol of CO₂ is produced

therefore when 13.6 mol of C₄H₁₀ reacts - 8/2 x 13.6 mol = 54.4 mol of CO₂ is produced

therefore 54.4 mol of CO₂ is produced

What enzyme catalyses the reaction of PRPP transfer to hypoxanthine with<br> formation of IMP?
Alona [7]

Answer:

HPRT

Explanation:

HPRT catalyzes the salvage reactions of hypoxanthine and guanine with PRPP to form IMP and GMP

The formation of GMP from IMP requires oxidation at C-2 of the purine ring, followed by a glutamine-dependent amidotransferase reaction that replaces the oxygen on C-2 with an amino group to yield 2-amino,6-oxy purine nucleoside monophosphate, or as this compound is commonly known, guanosine monophosphate.

Study the graph about oxygen content of Earth’s atmosphere. Oxygen Content of Earth apostrophe s Atmosphere line graph. X axis i
Anika [276]

Explanation:

from the graph study about oxygen content of Earth's atmosphere, we can understand that  

1)

4 billions year ago = None, 3 billions year ago = Cyanobacteria and Archaea , 2 and 1 billions year ago = Bacteria and Green algae , 500 Ma = invertebrate fossils started to existence. Early land plants came in to existence around 398 MA that is Devonian. Dinosaurs are came in to existence during Triassic and Jurassic that is around 251 Ma. Man and animals are recent organism came under Holocene that is 11000 years ago.

2)

The first cells on the earth are anaerobic microorganisms, as the CO2 level is too high they survive by using CO2.

3)

Starting around 2.7 billion years ago, photosynthesis by Cyanobacteria and later plants , pumped “OXYGEN” in to the atmosphere. This caused the decline of anaerobic bacteria and allows the diversification of animals as seen in “CAMBRIAN” around 500 millions year ago.  

Early vascular plants “CAPTURED” CO2 starting before the Carboniferous period that began around 350 millions year.Leading to lower temperatures and allowing and allowing the seed plants to outcompetes seedless plants.

Modern human activities has raised both “CO2 and METHANE” level in the atmosphere to over leading to higher temperature and extinction of other species.
