The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". </span>
Answer:
(1) breaking a pencil (2) rusting of iron
Explanation:
breaking a pencil does not alter the chemical properties of the pencil, it merely breaks it into 2 while the rusting of iron is changing the properties chemically because the iron is oxidizing and reacting with the water and oxygen in the atmosphere
Answer:
Explanation:
Electrovalent is a word often associated with chemical bonding in the field of chemistry. It is special type of bond that occurs between metals and non-metals.
These bond types are interatomic interactions occurring between two atoms to ensure that they attain stable configurations.
- This bond type is also known as ionic bonds.
- It occurs between two species with a large electronegative diffference i.e one specie is electropositive and the other highly electronegative.
- The more electropositive specie is metal and it readily loses its valence electrons.
- The electronegative non-metal gains the electrons and becomes negatively charged.
- The electrostatic attraction between the metal and non-metals yields the electrovalent bonds.
Answer:
Cl⁻
Explanation:
Definition of atomic radii
The atomic radius is the distance between center of two bonded atoms.
Trend along period:
As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase.The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases.
Trend along group:
In group by addition of electron atomic radii increase from top to bottom due to increase in atomic number and addition of extra shell.
In this way Cl⁻ will have the largest atomic radii because one extra electron is added and its atomic number is already greater than fluorine.
