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.

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

4O₂ (g) + 1/2C₅H₁₂ (g) →  5/2CO₂ (g)  +  3H₂O (g)

4 would be the smallest possible integer for O₂

Explanation:

The balanced equation is this one:

8O₂ (g) + C₅H₁₂ (g) →  5CO₂ (g)  +  6H₂O (g)

If we divide stoichiometry /2 (the half) we can consider that we use, the smallest possible integers.

8/2O₂ (g) + 1/2C₅H₁₂ (g) →  5/2CO₂ (g)  +  6/2H₂O (g)

4O₂ (g) + 1/2C₅H₁₂ (g) →  5/2CO₂ (g)  +  3H₂O (g)

A neutral atom of Cl-37 has
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

17 protons, 20 neutrons, and 17 electrons​.

Explanation:

A periodic table can be defined as the standard arrangement of chemical elements by atomic number, electronic configuration and chemical properties in a tabular form.

Generally, a proper representation of the mass number and atomic number of chemical elements is key and very important in chemistry.

Furthermore, as a rule, it should be noted that the mass number (nucleon number) is always larger than the atomic number(number of proton).

The mass number of this neutral atom of Cl-37 is 37 and we know that the atomic number (number of protons) of chlorine is 17. Also, the atomic number of an element is equal to the number of its electrons.

A neutral atom of Cl-37 has 17 protons, 20 neutrons, and 17 electrons.

Hence, a neutral atom of Cl-37 can be identified based on its number of protons because it represent its atomic number, which is what is used to differentiate an atom of an element from the atom of another chemical element.
