Answer:

The correct answer is option 3, It becomes a positive ion and its radius decreases

Explanation:

As per the Octet rule, Barium has 2 electrons in its outermost shell. When it loses the two electron it gains two positive charge i.e Ba2+. As the barium loses the two electron from its outermost shell, the outermost shell becomes vacant and thus is no more considered as a part of atomic geometry of the barium atom and since the outermost shell is considered negligible the radius of barium atom reduces automatically.

<h2>Changes Occurs when a Barium Atom - Option 3  </h2>

When a barium atom loses two electrons it becomes a positive ion and its radius decreases. Barium (Ba) has atomic number 56 so it has 2 electrons in first shell of an atom to become stable according to duplet rule. Then other 52 electrons revolve in the shells according to octet rules.

Another 2 electrons are in the outermost shell. To become stable electrons lose to form barium ions (Ba+2). Hence, by losing 2 electrons the outermost shell will be diminished so its radius decreases and by losing electrons it becomes positive ions.

How many moles of carbon dioxide are produced from 8.73 moles of tristearin?​
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

  8.73 mol                                         x mol

2 C57H110O6(S) + 163 O2(g)  --->  114 CO2(g) + 110 H2O(I)

2 mol                                               114 mol

8.78 mol (114mol/2 mol) =500.46 mol

What are rotation and revolution and how do they affect Earth?
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Rotation refers to an object's spinning motion about its own axis. "Revolution" refers the object's orbital motion around another object. For example, Earth rotates on its own axis, producing the 24-hour day. Earth revolves about the Sun, producing the 365-day year.

What is the percent mass oxygen in calcium carbonate (CaCo3)?
Gnoma [55]
  <span>Step 1 is to determine the mass of each part 
Mass of Ca is 40.08 g 
Mass of C is 12.01 g 
Mass of O is 16.00 x 3 = 48.00 g 
Step 2 is to determine the total mass of the compound 
Total mass of CaCO3 is 40.08 + 12.01 + 48.00 = 100.09 g 

Step 3 is to determine the % of each part using the following formula: 
Mass of part / total mass x 100 = 

40.08 / 100.09 x 100 = 40.04 % Ca 

12.01 / 100.09 x 100 = 12.00 % C 

48.00 / 100.09 x 100 = 47.96 % O 

Step 4 is to double check by adding all percentages. If they equal 100, then I probably did it right. :) 
40.04 
+12.00 
+47.96 
=100.00</span><span>

Whenever a continuous bell alarm sounds in the Chemistry building:
deff fn [24]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

This is essentially one of the several safety measures in the chemical laboratory. This particular approach is one used in the case of fire eventualities.

A is wrong

This is because in the advent of a fire incident, it is necessary to evacuate the building as a whole. Meeting in the hallway is still within the building which is not the right thing to do when there’s a fire outbreak. Occupants are expected to leave the building immediately

B. Is also wrong. Taking time to pack your belongings might make you be caught in the inferno. It is expected that you leave the building at once

The frequency of an x-ray wave is 3.0 x 1012MHz. Its wave speed is 3.0x 108m/s. Calculate the wavelength of the x-ray wave below
jasenka [17]

Answer: The wavelength of the x-ray wave is 10^{-10}m

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use the equation:

\lambda=\frac{c}{\nu}

where,

\lambda = wavelength of the light  = ?

c = speed of x-ray= 3.0\times 10^8m/s

\nu = frequency of x-ray = 3.0\times 10^{12}MHz=3.0\times 10^{18}Hz= 3.0\times 10^{18}s^{-1}     (1Hz=1s^{-1})

Putting in the values:

\lambda=\frac{3.0\times 10^8m/s}{3.0\times 10^{18}s^{-1}}=10^{-10}m

Thus the wavelength of the x-ray wave is 10^{-10}m
