In the periodic table, the atomic radius of the atoms decrease from left to right. This means that Carbon is smaller than Boron. So from the choices you can rule out the first and third choice. 

Now, the reason why Carbon is smaller than Boron is because Boron has more protons and as the protons increase it attracts the electrons closer, which makes the atom smaller. 

Carbon has more protons, so it exerts a greater pull. The answer is then Option 2: Boron has a larger radius and the protons in carbon exert a greater pull. 

As for the second question, a compound is defined as a substance that is made up of two DIFFERENT elements that are chemically bonded. If you look at the second option, it is a compound. It is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

The answer is then option 2.

Humans are typically fueled by aerobic respiration. In which scenario might anaerobic respiration begin instead?
yan [13]

Answer:

C. After running 20 miles

Explanation:

Anaerobic respiration only occurs when an organism lacks all the oxygen we need to function. After running 20 miles, you will be out of breath, and you will have been using more energy than your respiratory system could produce alone. Due to this, your body will start using some of your energy stored within cells in order to continue functioning. This kind of respiration is basically 'burning calories'.
