What is the correct order of decreasing size of the following ions?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alja [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

C) P3– > Cl– > K+ > Ca2+

Explanation:

Ionic radius can be defined as the distance between the nucleus and the electron in the outermost shell of atom in its ionic state. When an atom looses an electrons(Cation) its ionic radius decreases, whereas when an atom gains an electron(anion), its ionic radius increases.

Among the given ions the ionic radius of

P^{-3} =212 pm

Cl^{-1} =167 pm

K^{+} =152 pm

Ca^{+2} =114 pm

all distances are in picometer.

clearly,

option C is correct that is

C) P3– > Cl– > K+ > Ca2+

How does the air on a hot day compare with the air on a cold day?
MrMuchimi
Air on a hot day translates to hot air and air on a cold day translates to cold air. The hot air usually have more energy due to particles being more excited by the heat.

A sound wave is traveling at 331 m/s and has a frequency of 126 Hz. What is the wavelength?​
damaskus [11]
<h2>Answer</h2>

2.626984127 m

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

You have to know the equation that relates wavelength, frequency, and velocity (it's like speed but a bit different).

v = f x λ

where:

v = velocity

f = frequency

λ = Wavelength

Rearrange to make λ subject:

λ = v / f

We've been given 331 as the speed, 126 as the frequency. Sub it into the equation:

331 / 126 = 2.626984127 m

Relate dark matter to the development of the universe after the Big Bang. In 3-5 sentences, speculate on how the development of
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Dark matter makes up 85% of the mass of the universe. Dark matter is not directly observable because it doesn't interact with any electromagnetic wave. In the development of the universe, without dark matter, the universe will not function, move or rotate as it does now (this speculation led to the quest to find the anomaly of mass and energy in the known universe, eventually leading to the idealization of dark matter) and will not have enough gravitational force to hold it together.  After the big bang,<em> the presence of dark matter and energy ensured that the newly formed universe didn't just float away, rather, it provided enough gravitational force to hold the universe while still allowing it to expand sufficiently</em>.

The development of the universe would have been different without the universe in the sense that the young universe won't have enough mass to hold it together, and the universe would have simply floated apart. The behavior of the universe would have been different from what we observe now, and some physical laws that applies now will not apply to the universe.
