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,

<span><span>Magnesium          0.160 nm
</span><span>
Aluminium           0.130 nm

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

Which has a greater amount of particles, 1.00 mole of hydrogen (H) or 1.00 moles of oxygen(0)?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Both have the same amount of particles.

Explanation:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02×10²³ particles.

This implies that 1 mole of Hydrogen contains 6.02×10²³ particles. Also, 1 mole of oxygen contains 6.02×10²³ particles.

Thus, 1 mole of Hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen contains the same number of particles.

Boron<br> B<br> 10.811<br> Number of neutrons
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

To determine the number of neutrons we round 10.8 to 11 and subtract the atomic number (5) and get 6; therefore, boron has 6 neutrons.

All factors that cause an increase in the rate of dissolving have what in common?
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

They increase the attractive forces between the solute and solvent particles.

Explanation:

The dissolution of a solute in a solvent depends on interaction between the solute and the solvent. The more the attractive force and interaction between solute and solvent, the greater the greater the rate of dissolution of the solute in the solvent.

The absence of interaction between solute and solvent molecules means that the substance can not dissolve in that particular solvent. Hence, any factor that enhances solute-solvent interaction will enhance dissolution of a solute in a particular solvent.
