<h2>Antimony and Berllium</h2>

The antimony and beryllium ions are so small because atomic number of antimony and beryllium is 51 and 4. Beryllium tends to lose 2 electrons to form beryllium ions (Be2+) so it forms 4 coordinated complex ions, it does not form simple ions. Antimony gains 3 electrons to become stable or form an ion (Sb+3) so these ions are small.

Both ions and atoms tend to grow larger as we go down the periodic table because protons are added and atomic number increases. So new shells are also added. The new energy shells provide shielding effect so atomic size increases going down the group in the periodic table.

1. For this question, the adjective small must be percepted in a relative sense. This is because it is not the smallest ion (that would be hydrogen). It could be that the antimony and beryllium ions are smaller compared to their neutral forms. This is because they donate electrons when ionized. As a result, the electrons are reduced, so does the electron cloud which makes the radius much smaller.

2. The periodic table is arranged in terms of increasing atomic number. For neutral atoms, the number of protons (atomic number) is equal to the number of electrons. So, the farther we go down the table, the higher the atomic number. The higher the atomic number, the bigger the electron cloud which makes the atomic radius bigger. Because by definition, atomic radius is the length from the nucleus to the farthest electron from the nucleus.

Magnesium reacts very slowly to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Write a word amd chemical equation for this reaction.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer: -

Magnesium reacts very slowly to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

Mg + 2H₂O → Mg(OH)₂ + H₂

Explanation: -

Chemical symbol of magnesium = Mg

Chemical formula for magnesium hydroxide = Mg(OH)₂

Chemical formula for hydrogen gas = H₂

The other reactant with Mg must be water H₂O.

Thus the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

Mg + 2H₂O → Mg(OH)₂ + H₂

After 1 min, three radioactive nuclei remain from an original sample of six. Is it valid to conclude that t₁/₂ equals 1 min? Is
Harrizon [31]

Three of them may have decayed more quickly or more slowly than they should have according to the likelihood at that particular moment. However, suppose we have a lot of radioactive new Clyde's, say six times 10 to the 12, and we have three times 10 to the 12 in a minute. The rate may then be averaged out because there are a sufficient number of radioactive new Clyde's. Furthermore, we can say with confidence that the half life is one minute.

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

Radioactivity, as its name suggests, is the act of generating radiation without any external cause. An atomic nucleus that is unstable for whatever reason does this by "wanting" to give up some energy in order to change its configuration to one that is more stable. Modern physics spent a lot of time in the first half of the 20th century figuring out why this occurs, which led to a pretty solid understanding of nuclear decay by 1960. A nucleus with too many neutrons will produce a negative beta particle, which will convert one of the neutrons into a proton. A nucleus with too many protons will emit positrons, which are positively charged electrons that turn protons into neutrons.

Which of the following is true for the actual yield of a reaction?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

It is always less than the theoretical yield

Explanation:

For many chemical reactions, the actual yield is usually less than the theoretical yield. This is due to possible loss in the process or inefficiency of the chemical reaction.
