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

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 17g of NH₃ in 0.50L of solution?
erastovalidia [21]

Explanation:

Because molarity is mol/L, we'll have to convert 17g to mol.

After obtaining the mol, we'll divide that by the volume to obtain Molarity.

What is the total number of calories of heat energy absorbed when 10 grams of water is vaporized at its normal boiling point
Darya [45]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of energy absorbed by water is 5390 Calories

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the amount of heat absorbed at normal boiling point, we use the equation:

q=m\times L_{vap}

where,

q = amount of heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of water = 10 grams

L_{vap} = latent heat of vaporization = 539 Cal/g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

q=10g\times 539Cal/g=5390Cal

Hence, the amount of energy absorbed by water is 5390 Calories
