In terms of atomic structure, explain why the atomic radius of K is larger than that of Na

Chemistry

Answer:

Explanation:

Sodium and potassium are present in group 1A. Both are alkali metals.

The atomic number of sodium is 11 and potassium is 19. Sodium is present in period 3rd while potassium is present in period 4th.

Electronic configuration of sodium:

Na₁₁ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹

K₁₉ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s¹

It can be seen in electronic configuration that in case of sodium the valance electron is present in third energy level while in case of K outer most  electron is present in 4th energy level. So atomic structure of sodium has three energy level and K has four energy  level that's why radius of potassium is greater than sodium because its the distance from center to outer most electronic shell.

Moreover as we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

I believe sam's response is correct.
When human is riding a moving target with constant speed over a period of time, we tend to have  a visual acceleration perception due to our optical movement.
This make people such as Carrie believes that the carousel horses are accelerating while it actually stayed at constant pace.

lianna [129]
This is to fill in the answer to the question.

The area where the blast originates is referred to as <span>Scene Perimeter/Isolation Zone. This whole area is dangerous for people since it can contain harmful gasses or falling debris depending on the environment of the blast.

Consider the following reaction: 2{\rm{ N}}_2 {\rm{O(}}g)\; \rightarrow \;2{\rm{ N}}_2 (g)\; + \;{\rm{O}}_2 (g)
fredd [130]

Answer:

a. 5.9 × 10⁻³ M/s

b. 0.012 M/s

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

2 N₂O(g) → 2 N₂(g) + O₂(g)

a.

Time (t): 12.0 s

Δn(O₂): 1.7 × 10⁻² mol

Volume (V): 0.240 L

We can find the average rate of the reaction over this time interval using the following expression.

r = Δn(O₂) / V × t

r = 1.7 × 10⁻² mol / 0.240 L × 12.0 s

r = 5.9 × 10⁻³ M/s

b. The molar ratio of N₂O to O₂ is 2:1. The rate of change of N₂O is:

5.9 × 10⁻³ mol O₂/L.s × (2 mol N₂O/1 mol O₂) = 0.012 M/s
