Answer:


                  Option-1 (O²⁻) is the correct answer.


Explanation:

                       All given anions contains same charge. So, we can ignore the effect of charge on these anions.


As we know all given compounds belongs to same group (Group 6) in periodic table. And from top to bottom along the group the elements are placed as,


                                                          Oxygen O


                                                          Sulfur S


                                                          Selenium Se


                                                          Tellurium Te


Hence, moving from top to bottom along the group the number of shells increases. And with increase in number of shell the atomic or ionic radii increases. As Oxygen is present at the top of the group, therefore, it has the smallest radius due to less number of shells.

O²⁻ ion has the smallest radius

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

In an atom there are levels of energy in the shell and sub shell.

This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.

Writing electron configurations starts from the lowest to the highest sub-shell energy level. There are 4 sub-shells in the shell of an atom, namely s, p, d and f. The maximum number of electrons for each sub shell is

  • s: 2 electrons
  • p: 6 electrons
  • d: 10 electrons and
  • f: 14 electrons

Charging electrons in the sub shell uses the following sequence:

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc.

Each sub-shell also has an orbital shown in the form of a square in which there are electrons symbolized by half arrows

The atomic radius shows the distance of the atomic nucleus to the electrons in the outer shell

From left to right in the period system the atomic radius gets smaller, while from one group from top to bottom the atomic radius gets longer

The more the number of shells the atom has, the radius of the atom getting longer, but if the number of shells is the same, the larger atomic number has shorter radius because the core charge is greater so that the attraction of the nucleus to the electrons is stronger

In the ions

(1) O²⁻

(2) S²⁻

(3) Se²⁻

(4) Te²⁻

All of these ions are ions from the elements of the VIA group in the periodic system. This group consists of oxygen (O), sulfur (S), selenium (Se), tellurium (Te), and polonium (Po).

The periodic system is arranged in the order of atomic numbers, whereas in this VIA group from top to bottom, the atomic number gets bigger

  • Element O

Atomic Number: 8

Electron configuration: 1s² 2s² 2s⁴ (number of shells 2)

  • Element S

Atomic Number: 16

Electron configuration: [Ne] 3s² 3p⁴ (number of shells 3)

  • Element Se

Atomic Number: 34

Electron configuration: [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s²4p⁴ (number of shells 4)

  • Element Te

Atomic Number: 52

Electron configuration: [Cr] 4d10 5s² 5p⁴ (number of shells 5)

From the configuration of the electron shows that the lower the shell owned by the elements of the VIA group the greater (from 2 to 5) so that the radius is also getting longer/bigger

Because what is being asked is the radius of the ion, the electron configuration of each element is equally reduced by 2 electrons, but the number of shells remains the same

(1)O²⁻

Electron configuration: 1s² 2s² 2s²

(2) S²⁻

Electron configuration: [Ne] 3s² 3p²

(3) Se²⁻

Electron configuration: [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s²4p²

(4) Te²⁻

Electron configuration: [Cr] 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p²

Because the amount of shell from the Oxygen ion is the smallest, the radius of the O²⁻ is also the smallest

How does the structure of the stigma aid in pollination?
inysia [295]
If the stigma is messed up it is hard for bees or insects to pollinate because the way they pollinate is by eating the nectar from the stigma and stick the pollen on their body and stick it on the stigma.

But if there is no stigma=no pollination

How many grams of water are needed to dissolve 27.8 g of ammonium nitrate NH4NO3 in order to prepare a 0.452 m solution?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: 770 g water are needed to dissolve 27.8 g of ammonium nitrate NH_4NO_3 in order to prepare a 0.452 m solution

Explanation:

Molality : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present per kg of solvent

Formula used :

Molality=\frac{n\times 1000}{W_s}

where,

n= moles of solute

Moles of NH_4NO_3=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{27.8g}{80.0g/mol}=0.348moles  

W_s = weight of the solvent in g = ?

0.452=\frac{0.348\times 1000}{W_s}

W_s=770g

Thus 770 g water are needed to dissolve 27.8 g of ammonium nitrate NH_4NO_3 in order to prepare a 0.452 m solution

QUICK QUESTION: On the Bohr model, how come potassium has 19 electrons in its valence shell if potassium has a K+? Isn’t it supp
Vlada [557]

Answer:  K only has 1 valence electron.  It will leave with only a little effort, leaving behind a positively charged K^+1 atom.

Explanation:  A neutral potassium atom has 19 total electrons.  But only 1 of them is in potassium's valence shell.  Valence shell means the outermost s and p orbitals.  Potasium's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1.  The 4s orbital is the only orbital in the 4th energy level.  So it has a valency of 1.  This means this electron will be the most likely to leave, since it is the lone electron in the oyutermost energy level (4).  When that electron leaves, the charge on the atom go up by 1.  The atom now has a full valence shell of 3s^2 3p^6, the same as argon, Ar.

What should i write on a essay about glue and liquid corn starch
PolarNik [594]
Hmm... interesting topic you're writing about here!
Well, for this essay, there must be specific criteria, correct? I'll make some suggestions, but of course you don't have to go by them if you don't like 'em. So... here they are!:

- List the physical and chemical properties of glue
- List the physical and chemical properties of liquid corn starch
- Compare and contrast the physical and chemical properties of glue with the physical and chemical properties of liquid corn starch
- You can conduct some experiments with the two substances also! You can mix the two together and see how they react with each other, and incorporate the results of the experiment into your essay.
- You can mix glue with some other liquid substances too, and incorporate your results into your essay. You can see whether each substance the glue mixes with creates a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture, etc.
- You can mix liquid corn starch with some other liquid substances too, and incorporate your results into your essay. You can see whether each substance the liquid corn starch mixes with creates a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture, etc.

That's all I can come up with at the moment. Maybe you'll take some of these suggestions into consideration...? Anyhow, I hope I helped somehow! :)

A sample of hydrogen gas at a pressure of 0.520 atm and a temperature of 26.2°C, occupies a volume of 15.4 liters. If the gas is
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

1.99 atm

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This include the following:

Initial pressure (P1) = 0.520 atm

Initial temperature (T1) = 26.2°C

Initial volume (V1) = 15.4L

Final temperature (T2) = constant = 26.2°C

Final volume (V2) = 4.02L

Final pressure (P2) =..?

Step 2:

Determination of the new pressure of the gas.

Since the temperature of the gas is constant, it means the gas is obeying Boyle's law. Thus, the new pressure of the gas can be obtained by applying the Boyle's law equation as shown below:

P1V1 = P2V2

0.520 x 15.4 = P2 x 4.02

Divide both side by 4.02

P2 = (0.520 x 15.4) / 4.02

P2 = 1.99 atm

Therefore, the new pressure of the gas is 1.99 atm
