Which element has a larger atomic radius than sulfur? chlorine cadmium fluorine oxygen
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

  • <u>Cadmium has larger atomic radius than sulfur.</u>

Explanation:

Down a period, atomic radii decrease from left to right due to the increase in the number of protons and electrons across a period: when a proton is added the pull of the electrons towards the nucleus is larger, so the size of the atom decreases.

Hence, you can compare the elements that belong to a same period and predict that the atom with lower atomic number (number of protons) will haver larger atomic radius. With that:

  • Oxygen and fluorine are in the period 3, being oxygen to the left of fluorine, so oxygen is larger than fluorine.

  • Sulfur and chlorine are in the period 4, being sulfur to the left of chlorine, so sulfur is larger than chlorine.

Now see whan happens down a group. Atomic radius increases from top to bottom within a group due to electron shielding. That permits you to compare the size of the elements in a group:

  • Fluorine and chlorine are in the same group (17), with chlorine directly below fluorine, so the atomic radius of chlorine is larger than the atomic radius of fluorine.

  • Sulfur and oxygen are in the same group (16), with sulfur directlly below oxygen, so sulfur the atomic radius of sulfur is larger than the atocmi radius of oxygen.

So far, you can rank the atomic radius of sulfur, chlorine, fluorine, and oxygen, in increasing order as:

  • O < F < Cl < S, concluding that O, F, and Cl have smaller atomic radius than S.

Cadmiun, Cd, is to the left and below sulfur, so both electron shielding (down a group) and increase of the number of protons (down a period) lead to predict the cadmium has a larger atomic radius than sulfur.

Determine the mass of MgCl2 needed to create a 100. ml solution with a concentration of 3.00 M.
kiruha [24]

Explanation:

1000ml \: contain \: 3 \: moles \\ 100 \: ml \: will \: contain \: ( \frac{100 \times 3}{1000} ) \: moles \\  = 0.3 \: moles \\ RFM = 95 \\ 1 \: mole \: weighs \: 95 \: g \\ 0.3 \: moles \: weigh \: ( \frac{(0.3 \times 95)}{1}  \: g \\  = 28.5 \: g \: of \: magnesium \: chloride

Which of the following are diatomic elements? CHECK ALL THAT APPLY!
Komok [63]

Answer: This is a list of the seven diatomic elements. The seven diatomic elements are:

   Hydrogen (H2)

   Nitrogen (N2)

   Oxygen (O2)

   Fluorine (F2)

   Chlorine (Cl2)

   Iodine (I2)

   Bromine (Br2)

All of these elements are nonmetals, since the halogens are a special type of nonmetallic element. Bromine is a liquid at room temperature, while the other elements all gases under ordinary conditions. As the temperature is lowered or pressure is increased, the other elements become diatomic liquids.

Astatine (atomic number 85, symbol At) and tennessine (atomic number 117, symbol Ts) are also in the halogen group and may form diatomic molecules. However, some scientists predict tennessine may behave more like a noble gas.

While only these seven elements routinely form diatomic molecules, other elements can form them. However, diatomic molecules formed by other elements are not very stable, so their bonds are easily broken.

How to Remember the Diatomic Elements

The elements ending with "-gen" including halogens form diatomic molecules. An easy-to-remember mnemonic for the diatomic elements is: Have No Fear Of Ice Cold Beer

Explanation:

SORRY if you don't understand!

The town in the video stressed using locally made goods instead of imported goods. How could using locally made goods lower CO2
ladessa [460]

Answer:

It reduces the need to import goods

Explanation:

When you buy locally, the products you buy don't come from far away, so they don't have to cross the country (or the ocean) by boat, plane or trucks to reach the market/store where you're buying, at least not from a long distance away.

The distance a vehicle travels, the less CO2 emissions it produces.

If the good you're buying is made/produced only an hour away, that's not much pollution produced compared as if the good has to come from a distant place spending days on highways to reach you.
