The atomic number of sodium is 11. Sodium is a metal and it has the electronic configuration: 2, 8,1. This configuration implies that, the electrons in an atom of sodium are distributed into three different shells and the outermost shell has one electron in it. If sodium decide to give away the electron on its outermost shell, it will have 10 electrons left and those electrons will be distributed in only the first two shells and then it will be described as an ion. The third shell will not exist again because the electron there has been given away. Thus, the sodium ion is going to have a smaller atomic radius because its size has been reduced. This implies that the sodium ion will have a smaller radius than the sodium atom.

Its atomic radius increases because there is less electron shielding after the sodium loses one e-.  Sodium is a nonmetal which means it forms an anion. Anions always increase from their original atomic radius

Where, approximately, is the negative pole on each of these molecules?
Leni [432]

Orbital shell notation of fluorine is 2. 7 while that of oxygen s 2. 6. This means that these elements (that follow each other in the periodic table) will have high electronegativity in molecules due to their high atomic number (which causes them to strongly attract electron orbital shell closer to their nucleus). NB: Atomic number of a peroid increased from left to right of the periodic table.

Therefore, in the first molecule, the negative dipole would most likely be located between the F atoms In the second molecule the negative molecule would be most likely located in the between the O and F atoms.

What happens when energy is released during atomic fission
Vesnalui [34]
Nuclear energy is called the energy obtained by the transformation of atomic nuclei, so small and heavy clusters of particles inside the atom. Nuclear energy can be produced in two ways, by cleavage or synthesis of nuclei. Heavy nuclei of radioactive elements such as uranium or plutonium, can be split into two nuclei. By splitting are released from the nucleus of neutrons that collide with other nuclei causing them to split and subsequent emission of neutrons. This is called a chain reaction. The condition calls self-sustaining nuclear reaction is slowing down neutrons. For this purpose, a special substance, called moderator. The neutrons collide with the molecules of the moderator precipitate heating speed while the moderator. The resulting heat heats the water so that a couple who drives a turbine generating electricity. Another way of producing nuclear energy is nuclear fusion, in which nuclei combine to light elements. So far, fusion, however, failed to carry out so that it can be applied to the economy as a source of energy.

I think the correct answer would be Kabuki. It is a Japanese traditional form of theater that is characterized by the heavy make-up worn by the performers. It started during the Edo Period. It is one of the major classical theater in Japan.
