What makes the atomic radius change down a column of the periodic table

Chemistry

Olin [163]3 years ago

As you go across a period, radius shrinks because you are adding protons. The added positive charge increases pull on the electron shells.  

As you go down a group, radius gets larger because you are increasing shells of electrons. This increases shielding of the nucleus' positive charge, so the electrons are not pulled in as much.

Explanation:

When we move down a group then there is increase in the size of elements because there occurs increase in atomic mass of the elements.

It means that there occurs increase in number of electrons due to which there will be increase in number of new shells. As a result, size of atom or element increases due to which there is increase in atomic radius of the element.

Therefore, we can conclude that increase in number of electrons makes the atomic radius change down a column of the periodic table.

Answer:

111.68 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of HgS needed = ?

Mass of CaS produced = 26.0 g

Solution:

Chemical equation;

4HgS + 4CaO  →     4Hg + 3CaS + CaSO₄

Number of moles of CaS:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 26 g/ 72.143 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.36 mol

Now we will compare the moles of HgS with CaS.

                 CaS             :             HgS

                   3                :               4

                   0.36           :              4/3×0.36 = 0.48 mol

Mass of HgS:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.48 mol × 232.66 g/mol

Mass = 111.68 g

If the molar mass of x (hco3) is 162 g/mol, determine the relative atomic mass of x.
Anastasy [175]

The relative atomic mass of x is 101 u.

Molar mass is calculated by adding the atomic mass of all the elements in a compound.

Molar mass of x(HCO₃) =162 g/mol

Atomic mass of H = 1 g/mol

Atomic mass of C =12 g/mol

Atomic mass of O = 16 g/mol

Therefore, molar mass of x(HCO₃) will be

= x + 1 + 12 + 3 x 16

We know that:

x + 1 + 12 + 3 x 16=162

x + 61 = 162

x = 101 g/mol

The relative atomic mass of x will be 101 u.
