The outer electrons are not as tightly bound as ones closer to the nucleus

Explanation:

It is known that nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge whereas neutrons have no charge.

Therefore, electrons closer to the nucleus are strongly held due to the force of attraction between opposite charges of protons and electrons.

So, as the electrons go far away from the nucleus then force of attraction between the nucleus and electrons decreases.

As a result, it becomes easier to remove valence electrons of an atom. Thus, they can be removed by friction.

What effect does an increase in products have on the reaction rate of a mixture at equilibrium? A. The forward reaction rate inc

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

D. The reverse reaction rate increases.

Explanation:

The rate of reverse increases if the products are increased in a mixture at equilibrium.

At first, rate of forward and backward reactions are same for a mixture in equilibrium. 

If we add products or,the reaction moves to the opposite side I.e towards reactants side.

so,according to the Le Chateliers principle,the reaction shifts opposite to the side of increase. so,according to the Le Chateliers priciple, the rate of reverse or backward reaction will increase with the increase in the products.
