As one moves across a period, from left to right, both the number of protons and electrons of a neutral atom increase. The enhancing number of electrons and protons results in a greater attraction between the electrons and the nucleus. This uplifted attraction pulls the electrons nearer to the nucleus, therefore, reducing the size of the atom.
On the other hand, while moving down a group, there is an increase in the number of energy levels. The enhanced number of energy levels increases the size of the atom in spite of the elevation in the number of protons. In the outermost energy levels, the protons get attracted towards the nucleus, however, the attraction is less due to an increase in the distance from the nucleus.
Your answer is B: The outer electron of Adam B has moved to a higher energy state
Answer:
(A) N4H6 (B) H2O (C) LiH (D) C12H26
Explanation:
The given compounds have been arranged from left to right in order of increasing percentage by mass of hydrogen.
The percent by mass of hydrogen can be calculated by mass of hydrogen in that compound divided by total mass of that compound and finally multiplying the result with 100 to obtain the required percentage.
You need oxygen and water
Answer:
10 atoms
Explanation:
To find out the number of atoms: MULTIPLY all the SUBSCRIPTS in the molecule by the COEFFICIENT.
