The answer to your question is D.
Explanation:
The latitudes near the equator receives the most direct solar energy.
Hope this helps :)
Answer: The 
value is 0.664
Explanation:
Distance travelled by solvent front = (7.7-1.45)cm = 6.25 cm
Distance travelled by unknown = (5.6-1.45) cm = 4.15 cm
The retention factor or the value is defined as the ratio of distance traveled by the unknown to the distance traveled by the solvent front.
Thus the value is 0.664
Answer:
All atoms heavier than barium
Explanation:
In the periodic table, elements are divided into blocks. We have the;
s- block elements
p- block elements
d- block elements
f- block elements
However, immediately after Barium, we now encounter elements that have f-orbitals. Barium possesses a fully filled d-orbital. Hence after it, we see elements with 4f and 5f orbitals called the Lanthanides and actinides. The elements following the lanthanide and actinide series possess completely filled f-orbitals as inner orbitals.
Hence elements heavier than barium all possess f-orbitals.
No. When water first begins to cool down, it contracts. However, as it gets colder and eventually freezes, it begins to expand.
You can test this by freezing water in a water bottle: when you take it out of the freezer, the cap might have popped off or cracks may have formed in the sides of the bottle.
Answer: Water expands when frozen, not contracts.
Answer:
- <u>Cadmium has larger atomic radius than sulfur.</u>
Explanation:
Down a period, atomic radii decrease from left to right due to the increase in the number of protons and electrons across a period: when a proton is added the pull of the electrons towards the nucleus is larger, so the size of the atom decreases.
Hence, you can compare the elements that belong to a same period and predict that the atom with lower atomic number (number of protons) will haver larger atomic radius. With that:
- Oxygen and fluorine are in the period 3, being oxygen to the left of fluorine, so oxygen is larger than fluorine.
- Sulfur and chlorine are in the period 4, being sulfur to the left of chlorine, so sulfur is larger than chlorine.
Now see whan happens down a group. Atomic radius increases from top to bottom within a group due to electron shielding. That permits you to compare the size of the elements in a group:
- Fluorine and chlorine are in the same group (17), with chlorine directly below fluorine, so the atomic radius of chlorine is larger than the atomic radius of fluorine.
- Sulfur and oxygen are in the same group (16), with sulfur directlly below oxygen, so sulfur the atomic radius of sulfur is larger than the atocmi radius of oxygen.
So far, you can rank the atomic radius of sulfur, chlorine, fluorine, and oxygen, in increasing order as:
- O < F < Cl < S, concluding that O, F, and Cl have smaller atomic radius than S.
Cadmiun, Cd, is to the left and below sulfur, so both electron shielding (down a group) and increase of the number of protons (down a period) lead to predict the cadmium has a larger atomic radius than sulfur.
