Answer:

Cl⁻

Explanation:

Definition of atomic radii

The atomic radius is the distance between center of two bonded atoms.

Trend along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase.The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases.

Trend along group:

In group by addition of electron atomic radii increase from top to bottom due to increase in atomic number and addition of extra shell.

In this way Cl⁻ will have the largest atomic radii because one extra electron is added and its atomic number is already greater than fluorine.

Please define the following terms in terms of Chemistry:

slavikrds [6]

A physical property is any property that is measurable whose value describes a state of a physical system.A chemical property is any of a material's properties that becomes evident during, or after, a chemical reaction; that is, any quality that can be established only by changing a substance's chemical identity.Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number, although all isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons in each atom.The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, ordered by their atomic number (number of protons), electron configurations, and recurring chemical properties. A period is the name given to a horizontal row of the periodic table.a group is a column of elements in the periodic table of the chemical elements.

How do plants and animals help to maintain a balance of carbon dioxide in the air?

Rom4ik [11]

The process of photosynthesis in plants releases oxygen into the atmosphere. Respiration by plants and animals, as they use the energy stored in food, and the process of decomposition of dead organisms, releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. All three work together to maintain the carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle.

For the following reaction, 4.34 grams of sulfur dioxide are mixed with excess oxygen gas . The reaction yields 3.89 grams of su

Degger [83]

Answer:

5.42g, 71.77%

Explanation:

First, we have to write out the balanced chemical equation. The unbalanced equation can be written as “SO2+O2 -> SO3” and to balance it, we can see that having two mols of SO2 and two mols of SO3 will make each side have the same amount of mols per element on each side. So the balanced chemical equation is “2SO2 + O2 -> 2SO3”

Now, we want to solve for the theoretical yield in grams of SO3. To do this, we have to use dimensional analysis. We convert g SO2 into mols SO2 using the molar mass of the elements. Then we convert mols of SO2 into mols of SO3 using the balanced equation. Once we’ve done that, we can convert mols of SO3 into grams of SO3.

You should know how to look up the molar mass of elements on the periodic table by now. Find the masses and set up the terms so they cancel like so:

$4.34g \times \frac{1mol \: so2}{64.07g \: so2} \times \frac{2 \: mol \: so3}{2 \: mol \: so2} \times \frac{80.07gso3}{1 \: mol \: so3}$

Doing the math, we get 5.42g so3 as the theoretical yield. This is the most amount that you could ever get if the world was a perfect place. But alas, it isn’t and mistakes are gonna happen, so the number is going to be less than that. So the best we can do, is to figure out the percent yield that we got.

In a lab scenario, this was calculated to be 3.89 g as stated by the problem. The percent composition formula is

$| \frac{result}{expected \: result} | \times 100$

and plugging the numbers into it, we get:

$| \frac{3.89}{5.42} | \times 100 = 71.77\%$

make sure to follow the decimal/significant figure rules of your instructor, but only round at the end. My professor didn't care too much thankfully, but some professors do

What is the polyatomic ion

yanalaym [24]

A polyatomic ion is a charged combination of individual atoms. The combination is regarded as a single unit when considering reactivity with other elements. Example: OH- which is a polyatomic ion made from one oxygen and hydrogen atom to form the negative hydroxide ion.
