Answer:

Order of increasing ionic radius starting from the smallest is

Mg2+ < Na+ < F- < O2- < N3-

Explanation:

Ionic radius is the distance between the nucleus and the electrons in the outermost shell of an ion. In the ions given about, it can be deducted that they all have the same number of electrons and are said to be isoelectronic. This shows us that they all have the same electrons and we can only seperate them by checking the respective charges on the ions. A more positive charge will have a smaller radius while a more negative will have a larger radius. This is because when an atom loses an electron and form a cation (+), the remaining electrons move closer to the nucleus and hence a smaller radius of the atom occurs. But when an atom gains n electron,it forms anion (-), the new electron leads to the shielding of the remaining electrons from the nucleus and a large radius of the atom occurs.

So therefore, the above ions all have 10 electrons in their shells and magnesium with atomic number 12 and having lost 2 electrons to become positively charge has the smallest radius compared to others.

Mg2+ = 12 protons, 10 electrons

Na+ = 11 protons, 10 electrons

F- = 9 protons, 10 electrons

O2- = 8 protons, 10 electrons

N3- = 7 protons, 10 electrons

N3- has the largest ionic radius and Mg2+ has the lowest ionic radius.

The order is thus, Mg2+ , Na+, F-, O2-, N3-

. A current through a horizontal powerline flows in west to east direction. What is the direction of magnetic field at a point,
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

c) parallel to the wire

Explanation:

The concept is based on right-hand thumb rule that states that the thumb points in the direction of the current and the fingers will represent the direction of the lines of magnetic force.

As the current is moving in the east-west direction. Using the right-hand thumb rule, the direction of the magnetic field at a point below the wire is from north to south. So, when viewed from the west end, the magnetic field at a point will be anti- clockwise.

Hence, the correct answer is "b) anti- clockwise".

The pressure of the confined gas will be 769-17 = 752 mmHg

<h3>What is Manometer ?</h3>

Manometer is a U shaped instrument which is used to measure the pressure acting on a column of fluid , a difference in the pressure  in the two arms of the manometer causes the liquid to reach different heights.

The difference  in the heights of the Hg columns in Diagram B is17 mm-Hg.

the atmospheric pressure is 769 mm-Hg,

the pressure of the confined gas in mm-Hg = ?

The pressure of the confined gas will be 769-17 = 752 mmHg

A student listed the characteristics of chemical and nuclear reactions.
lidiya [134]

Answer:

D. It is a chemical reaction because the total mass remains the same when new substances are formed.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is represented by a chemical equation which show the reactant and products. Reactants are written on left side of arrow while products are written on right side. The number of atoms are remain same however arrangement of atoms is different on both side.

For example:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy  →   C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

it is known from balanced chemical equation that 6 moles of carbon dioxide react with the six moles of water and created one mole of glucose and six mole of oxygen. The number of atoms are same on both side however arrangement of atoms is different.

While in case of nuclear reaction small change in mass take place.
