Electronegativity increases as the size of the atom increases. a. True b. False

Chemistry
1 answer:
stiv31 [10]3 years ago
5 0
B. False. Electronegativity is the property of an atom or element to attract electrons during a chemical reaction. If you look at the periodic trend for electronegativity you see Flourine has the highest electronegativity and Francium is the lowest. However, Francium has the largest atomic radius and Fluorine has the smallest (aside from Hydrogen and Helium). So your statement is false. The relationship between atomic radius and electronegativity is inversely proportional so a true statement would be: As atomic radius increases, electronegativity decreases.

The amount of substance present in a certain object with a given half-life in terms of h can be expressed through the equation,

     A(t) = (A(o))(0.5)^(t/h)

where A(t) is the amount of substance after t years and A(o) is the original amount. In this item we are given that A(t)/A(o) is equal to 0.89. Substituting the known values,

     0.89 = (0.5)(t / 5730 years)

The value of t from the equation is 963.34 years.

Which of the following statements about the carbon cycle is NOT true?
nalin [4]

Answer:

Plants consume carbon through transpiration

Explanation:

In transpiration, plants lose water vapor through the stomata in their leaves. No carbon is involved in transpiration, which has an outbound direction. Nothing can be consumed through the stomata when vapor is going out of the plant. It´s like trying to get in through the exit.

LenKa [72]

Answer: -

Organic compounds consisting of only carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms are known as hydrocarbons.

Hydrocarbons are used by us for mainly as a source of energy. Hydrocarbons make up gasoline which is used as fuel in automobiles.

Hydrocarbons depending on the type of unsaturation can be of three types - alkanes, alkenes and alkynes.

The _______ geometry of a water molecule is tetrahedral even though the molecular geometry is bent
IRINA_888 [86]

The electron geometry of a water molecule is tetrahedral even though the molecular geometry is bent.

As water molecule hybridisation is sp³ that provides it a electron geometry tetrahedral but due to presence of 2 lone pairs and 2 bond pairs its molecular geometry is bent.

The hybridisation sp³ makes  electron geometry of a water molecule tetrahedral but the presence of 2 lone pairs makes its  molecular geometry bent
