Horizontal rows are called periods. As you travel downwards, the period is changing. (Oxygen in period 2, sulfur in period 3, and selenium in period 4)

<u>Answer: </u>The size of the element is changing.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxygen, sulfur and selenium are the elements which belong to Group 16 and periods 2, 3 and 4 respectively.

Atomic size of an element is defined as the distance between the nucleus and the outermost shell.

In a periodic table, the size of an element decreases as we move across a period and increases as we move down the group.

Down the group, new shell is getting added around the nucleus and electron is getting added in the new shell. Hence, the distance of the outermost shell from nucleus increases.

Therefore, the size of the element is changing.

Some forms of vitamin D, C₂₈H₄₄O, can be found in red meat. How many total atoms are in 5 molecules of C₂₈H₄₄O
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

3.01 × 10^24 atoms of vitamin D

Explanation:

The number of atoms, molecules or ions present in a substance is given by the Avogadro's number which is 6.02 × 10^23.

Hence;

1 molecule of vitamin D contains 6.02 ×10^23 atoms

5 molecules of vitamin D contains 5 × 6.02 ×10^23/1

= 3.01 × 10^24 atoms of vitamin D

A solution contains 0.115 mol h2o and an unknown number of moles of nacl. the vapor pressure of the solution at 30°c is 25.7 tor
Valentin [98]
According to Raoult's low:
We will use this formula: Vp(Solution) = mole fraction of solvent * Vp(solvent)
∴ mole fraction of solvent = Vp(Solu) / Vp (Solv)
when we have Vp(solu) = 25.7 torr & Vp(solv) = 31.8 torr 
So by substitution:
∴ mole fraction of solvent = 25.7 / 31.8 =0.808 
when we assume the moles of solute NaCl = X 
and according to the mole fraction of solvent formula:
mole fraction of solvent = moles of solvent / (moles of solvent + moles of solute)
by substitute:
∴ 0.808 = 0.115 / (0.115 + X)
 So X (the no.of moles of NaCl) = 0.027 m
