Explain why the atomic radius of aluminium is smaller than that of sodium.

Okay, to explain this you might have to grab a periodic table.

Do you have one? Good. Look at the most left side of the periodic table. The first group is the largest atoms in the periodic table. If you go to the right of the periodic table, the atoms get progressively smaller and smaller.

Why is this? Don't atoms get more electrons, and so become significantly bigger as they move to the right?

Although atoms do get more electrons as they go to the right, they also get more protons too. Protons pull on electrons and make atoms smaller. Because of this, going from left to right in a periodic table makes the atoms smaller and smaller, since more and more protons are added.

In this scenario, Aluminum is more to the right than Sodium, which means that it has more protons. Because of this, the protons in Aluminum pull more strongly on electrons than sodium, thus making aluminum smaller.

(Just a side note, going down in a periodic table makes the atoms bigger, since new shells are added every time)

Good luck! If you need any help, just ask :))

Are all acids dangerous? Give at least two examples to show what you mean.
juin [17]

Answer:

Laboratory acids are far too dangerous to taste, but you will have swallowed some dilute weak acids. Acids have a sour taste, like vinegar, which contains ethanoic acid, and lemons, which contain citric acid. These are safe to use in food, but they can still hurt if they get into a cut or into your eyes.

Explanation:

They can safely be consumed and do not irritate the skin. However, at greater concentrations weak acids can be harmful. Acids can react violently with water and are harmful in the presence of moisture in the mouth or eyes or in proximity with other aqueous solutions.

hope that helps!

Which statement defines dynamic equilibrium? (5 points)
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

1. A state of balance in which the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal.

Explanation:

A dynamic equilibrium is like a cycle, the reactants change to products, but the products also change to reactants keeping the amount of each constant.

2. A state of balance in which the forward reaction stops but reverse reaction continues.

In this statement there isnt a equilibrium. The products will change to reactants until the reaction stops.

3. A state of balance in which the forward reaction continues but reverse reaction stops.

Here the reactants will change to products until the reaction stops.

4. A state of balance in which the forward and reverse reactions stop.

In this case the reaction has stopped.

How many moles of LiOH are required to make 4.2 liters of a 0.98 M
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

4.12 mol  

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of LiOH  required = ?

Volume of solution = 4.2 L

Molarity of solution = 0.98 M

Solution:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

we will calculate the moles from above given formula.

0.98 M = number of moles / 4.2 L

0.98 M × 4.2 L = number of moles

Number of moles = 0.98 M × 4.2 L

Number of moles = 4.12 mol     (M = mol/L)
