Consider the third period of the periodic table. Which element has the smallest atomic radius?

1 answer:

3 0

According to periodic trends in the periodic table, the atomic radius decreases from left to right.

In period three, the element with the smallest atomic radius would be the element in the rightmost area. Protons increase as it goes to the right, which would mean they pull in electrons closer which decreases the size.

So in period 3, the element with the smallest atomic radius is Argon (Ar).

You plan to take your hair blower to europe, where the electrical outlets put out 240 v instead of the 120 v seen in the united

Dmitrij [34]

P = U × I
I = P / U = 1600W / 120V = 13.4A
P = 240V × 13.4A = 3216W

If your hair blower isnt rated for 220- 230V(this is the voltage in EU) you are most likely going to burn it.

Your bedroom gets direct sunlight through a window during the hottest part of the day. You ask your mom to turn down the thermom

ycow [4]

I want to say its cooled by reflection because of the foil, sun reflects off of the foil back into the atmosphere. I don't think it's conduction because I have the foil on my windows and it's never warm to the touch. it's not a liquid so I don't believe it's convection. The foil reflects the radiation so I don't think it's b, c or d. so I wanna say A but I'm not 100% sure
