Explain, in terms of electrons, why the radius of a calcium ion is smaller than the radius of a calcium atom.

Chemistry

Because the calcium ion donates two electrons to achieve the stable state. So the layer of electrons decrease form 4 layers(2,8,8,2) to 3 layers(2,8,8). Thus, the radius of a calcium ion is smaller than a calcium atom.

When n = 4, l = 2, and ml = -1, to what orbital type does this refer?
Leya [2.2K]

will tell you the subshell type, so you are dealing with a d orbital.  

ml will tell you the orientation of the orbital, there is no distinction between the orbitals so -1 doesnt specifically mean anything.

152 dm^3 of gas has a pressure of 98.6 kpa. at what pressure will the volume be quartered
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

P₂ = 394.4 KPa

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of gas = 152 dm³

Pressure of gas = 98.6 KPa

Final pressure = ?

Final volume = quartered = 1/4×152 = 38 dm³

Solution:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₂ = P₁V₁/V₂

P₂ = 98.6 KPa .  152 dm³ / 38 dm³

P₂ = 14987.2 KPa.  dm³ / 38 dm³

P₂ = 394.4 KPa

Please Help Part B to question A
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Over the last century the burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil has increased the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). This happens because the coal or oil burning process combines carbon with oxygen in the air to make CO2.  as u know decreasing means going down and increasing means going up.  the reason why things decrease means something went wrong or something to happen to make it go down we all try to make things increase which means we try to make things go up instead of down. a lot of reasons is y things decrease is bc during the period of time something might go wrong or happen in a bad way that makes a lot of things decrease. for example like temperature when the temperature decreases it means it goes down and it might get cold but if the temperature increases it goes up so it might be ht or warm or maybe even cool. if something ever decreases it means during the period of time something bad happened and made it go down instead of up if something ever goes wrong that means something decreased. sometimes decreasing could be a good thing but most of the time it it bad  but there are sometimes when decreasing is good but not all the time.

When water is solid, do molecules move?
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Ice is water in its solid form. Ice keeps its shape, even if it's removed from the container. The molecules in ice are locked into place and cannot move or slide past one another, but they do vibrate a little bit.

Explanation:

As the temperature drops or decreases, the water molecules gradually slow down. Eventually they stop moving and simply vibrate back and forth. At this point ice is formed, the solid phase of water. If the temperature is allowed to increase, the molecules will once again begin to vibrate faster and faster.
