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

Physics

Anettt [7]4 years ago

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).

Which of the following nuclear configurations is most stable?​
torisob [31]

Answer:

D. A nucleus of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.

Explanation:

A stable nucleus is one that do not disintegrate naturally, majorly due to the even number of its protons and neutrons. Thus they are not radioactive in nature.

From the given question, it would be observed that a nucleus of 2 protons and 2 neutrons would give a helium atom. And this is a stable atoms due to the magnetic number of the components of its nucleus.

Thus, the nuclear configuration that is most stable out of the given options is a nucleus of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Option D.

A ball is kicked from the ground into the air at a velocity of 3 m/s at an angle 35° above the horizontal and hits the ground so
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:2.45 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Launch velocity(u)=3 m/s

launch angle=35^{\circ}

as the vertical velocity first decreasing to zero and then increases to original value so its avg is zero .

v_{avg}=\frac{displacement}{time}

v_{avg}=\frac{Range}{time}

v_{avg}=\frac{u\cos \theta \times t}{t}

thus v_{avg}=\frac{3\cos 35\times t}{t}

v_{avg}=3\cos 35=2.45 m/s
