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

Chemistry
1 answer:
oee [108]3 years ago
7 0

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.

<h3>What is aragonite-strontianite solid solution dissolution in nonstoichiometric Sr (HCO3)2 solutions?</h3>

Synthetic strontianite-aragonite solid-solution minerals were dissolved in non-stoichiometric CO2-saturated Sr(HCO3)2 and Ca(HCO3)2 solutions at 25°C.  The reactions in Sr(HCO3)2 solutions frequently become incongruent, precipitating a Sr-rich phase before attaining stoichiometric saturation. Mechanical mixes of solids approach stoichiometric saturation in terms of the least stable solid in the combination.

This surficial phase has a thickness of 0-10 atomic layers in Sr(HCO3)2 solutions and a thickness of 0-4 layers in Ca(HCO3)2 solutions and dissolves and/or recrystallizes within 6 minutes of reaction.

A student carefully pipets 10.00ml of ethanol into a beaker. If ethanol has a density of 0.779g/ml, how many grams of ethanol we
lesantik [10]

Answer: 7.79 grams of ethanol were put into the beaker.

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of ethanol, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of ethanol = 0.779 g/mL

Volume of water = 10.00 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.779g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{10.00mL}\\\\\text{Mass of ethanol}=(0.779g/mL\times 10.00mL)=7.79g

Thus 7.79 grams of ethanol were put into the beaker.
