Answer:
            Phosphorous has the smallest atomic size.

Explanation:
                   As we know these elements belong to same period means there valence shell is the same. So moving from left to right along the period the shell number remains constant but the number of protons and electrons increases. So, due to increase in number of protons the nuclear charge increases hence attracts the valence electrons more effectively resulting in the decrease of atomic size.

Elements and their atomic radius are as follow,

Aluminium           0.130 nm

Silicon                  0.118 nm
</span><span>
Phosphorus         <span>0.110 nm</span></span></span>

How much thermal energy is in 100 grams of water at 50 degrees Celsius
Ymorist [56]
when the thermal energy is the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature.  

and when the thermal energy  is can be determined by this formula:

q = M * C *ΔT

when q  is the thermal energy

and M is the mass of water = 100 g 

and C is the specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 joules/gram.°C

and T is the difference in Temperature = 50 °C

So by substitution:

∴ q = 100 g * 4.18 J/g.°C * 50

   = 20900 J  = 20.9 KJ

The by-product of the chlorination of an alkane is​
Elanso [62]

The by-product of the chlorination of an alkane is​  <u>HCl</u>

Explanation:

  • Chlorination is the process of adding chlorine to drinking water to disinfect it and kill germs. Different processes can be used to achieve safe levels of chlorine in drinking water.
  • Chlorination of alkane gives a mixture of different products.
  • When consider mechanism of alkanes chlorination, free radicals are formed during the reaction to keep the continuous reaction.
  • Different alkyl chloride compounds, extended carbon chains compounds and HCl are formed as products in product mixture.
  • Chlorination byproducts, their toxicodynamics and removal from drinking water.
  • Halogenated trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) are two major classes of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) commonly found in waters disinfected with chlorine
  • Chlorine is available as compressed elemental gas, sodium hypochlorite solution (NaOCl) or solid calcium hypochlorite (Ca(OCl)2

Which of these statements is not true about chemical reaction rates?
xeze [42]
Temperature can change a reaction rate because adding or taking away heat means energy is being added or taken away. When energy is added, the particles speed up, so there is a greater chance of the reactants colliding to form the products, which increases the reaction rate. When energy is taken away, the particles more slower, so they don't collide as easily, which slows down the reaction rate.

Therefore, the answer is D.
