Answer is D) <span>because you are adding positively charged protons, which pull in the outer electrons
</span>
The radius of an atom decreases because the atomic number, or number of protons is increasing. This not only pulls in the outer electrons due to the increasing positive charge, but also increases the mass of the atom, which has the effect of drawing electrons toward the nucleus.

Name the functional group in the<br> following molecule:
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

B. Aromatic

Explanation:

Functional groups are groups that differentiate a specific organic compound from others. A functional group determines the chemical property of the compound that possesses it.

For example, just like alkene and alcohol functional groups have characteristics double bond (=) and hydroxyl (OH) group respectively, the image in the attachment of this question has a BENZENE RING at the core of its structure, hence, the organic compound can be regarded to have an AROMATIC FUNCTIONAL GROUP.

Identify the solute with the highest van't Hoff factor. And how do you determine which one is highest?
german

Answer : The correct option is, (A) AlCl_3

Explanation :

Van't Hoff factor : It is defined as the ratio of the experimental value of the colligative property to the calculated value of the colligative property.

We can determine the van't Hoff factor by the association and dissociation of the compound.

(A) AlCl_3

It is an electrolyte that dissociates to give aluminum ion and chloride ion.

The dissociation of AlCl_3 will be,

AlCl_3\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3Cl^{-}

So, Van't Hoff factor = Number of solute particles = Al^{3+}+3Cl^{-} = 1 + 3 = 4

(B) KI

It is an electrolyte that dissociates to give potassium ion and iodide ion.

The dissociation of KI will be,

KI\rightarrow K^{+}+I^{-}

So, Van't Hoff factor = Number of solute particles = K^{+}+I^{-} = 1 + 1 = 2

(C) CaCl_2

It is an electrolyte that dissociates to give calcium ion and chloride ion.

The dissociation of CaCl_2 will be,

CaCl_2\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+2Cl^{-}

So, Van't Hoff factor = Number of solute particles = Ca^{2+}+2Cl^{-} = 1 + 2 = 3

(D) MgSO_4

It is an electrolyte that dissociates to give magnesium ion and sulfate ion.

The dissociation of MgSO_4 will be,

MgSO_4\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+SO_4^{2-}

So, Van't Hoff factor = Number of solute particles = Mg^{2+}+SO_4^{2-} = 1 + 1 = 2

(E) Non-electrolyte

The dissociation non-electrolyte is not possible. So, the Van't Hoff factor will always be, 1.

Hence, the highest van't Hoff factor of solute is, AlCl_3
