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.

What coefficient should go in front of the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 ) molecule to make the chemical equation balanced? ___ H2O2 ➞
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

2

Explanation:

H2O2 ➞ 2 H2O + O2

The reaction is currently not balanced because the number of atoms on the reactant side is not equal to that of the product side

Hydrogen

Reactant = 2 Product = 4

Oxygen

Reactant = 2 Product = 4

Adding 2 to H2O2 balances the reaction as the number of atoms of both elements are now balanced on both sides of the equation

2H2O2 ➞ 2 H2O + O2
