Answer: The decreasing order of atomic size:

For a: Pb > Sn > Ge

For b: Sr > Sn > Te

For c: Na > F > Ne

For d: Mg > Na > Be

Explanation:

Atomic radius of an atom is defined as the total distance from the nucleus to the outermost shell of the atom.

As moving from top to bottom in a group, there is an addition of shell around the nucleus and the outermost shell gets far away from the nucleus and hence, the distance between the nucleus and outermost shell increases. Thus, increasing the atomic radii of the atom.

As moving from left to right in a period, more and more electrons get added up in the same shell and the attraction between the last electron and nucleus increases, which results in the shrinkage of size of an atom. Thus, decreasing the atomic radii of the atom on moving towards right of the periodic table.

For the given options:

Option a: Ge, Pb, Sn

Germanium (Ge) is present in Group 14 and period 4 of the periodic table.

Lead (Pb) is present in Group 14 and period 6 of the periodic table.

Tin (Sn) is present in Group 14 and period 5 of the periodic table.

So, the decreasing order of atomic size is:

Pb > Sn > Ge

Option b: Sn, Te, Sr

Tin (Sn) is present in Group 14 and period 5 of the periodic table.

Tellurium (Te) is present in Group 16 and period 5 of the periodic table.

Strontium (Sr) is present in Group 2 and period 5 of the periodic table.

So, the decreasing order of atomic size is:

Sr > Sn > Te

Option c: F, Ne, Na

Fluorine (F) is present in Group 17 and period 2 of the periodic table.

Neon (Ne) is present in Group 18 and period 2 of the periodic table.

Sodium (Na) is present in Group 1 and period 3 of the periodic table.

So, the decreasing order of atomic size is:

Na > F > Ne

Option d: Be, Mg, Na

Beryllium (Be) is present in Group 2 and period 2 of the periodic table.

Magnesium (Mg) is present in Group 2 and period 3 of the periodic table.

Sodium (Na) is present in Group 1 and period 3 of the periodic table.

So, the decreasing order of atomic size is:

Mg > Na > Be

Describe the rules used for writing the outer configuration for the s-block, p-block, and d-block elements?

Lorico [155]

Rules to write the electronic configuration :

Electrons complete orbitals in a way to reduce the energy of the atom. Therefore, the electrons in an atom complete the principal energy levels in order of rising energy (the electrons are getting distant from the nucleus). The order of levels filled appearances like the following

1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, and 7p

One way to recognise this pattern, apparently the simplest, is to refer to the periodic table and remember where each orbital block drops to rationally understand this pattern. Different way is to make a table like the one below and use vertical lines to determine which subshells resemble with each other.

S block: The S obstruct in the periodic table of components known as gatherings 1 and 2. There is a limit of two electrons that can possess the s orbital.

P Block: The P square contains group of 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18, except for Helium.

D Block: The D block elements are found in groups 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 of the periodic table.

LAST QUESTION YALLL PLZZZ HELP

Law Incorporation [45]

I've never done a reaction that involved just bond enthalpies before, so this is just a guess.

It's still products - reactants. The problem is the C=O bond. Do you count it once or twice? I'm going to choose once, but don't be surprised if it is incorrect.

Sum of the products - Sum of the reactants.

ΔH = 799 - 494

ΔH = 305

And that would be your answer to three places.

650.J is the same amount of energy as? 2720cal 1550cal 650.cal 2.72cal

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Ans: 650 J = 155 calories

Given:

Energy in joules = 650 J

To determine:

The energy in calories

Explanation:

1 joule = 0.2388 calories

Therefore, 650 joules = 0.2388 calories * 650 J/1 J = 155 calories
