Atomic radii DECREASES as you move across a period. Why?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lelechka [254]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

As you move across a period, you gain more electrons and become more electronegative.  The electrons become very attracted to the protons in the nucleus.  This causes the electrons to become closer to the nucleus, decreasing atomic radii and increasing density.

1. An ion is a charged atom. A molecule is a neutrally-charged combination of atoms.

2. A molecule is a combination of atoms. It can consist of atoms from one or more elements. For example, an oxygen molecule comprises two oxygen atoms. A compound is a substance made up of a combination of atoms of different elements. For example, water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen.

3. An electron dot diagram is a simple way of representing the bond and electronic structure of molecules. A formula is a written representation of the types and numbers of atoms in a molecule.

4. As above...a formula denotes which atoms are in a molecule and how many. For example, H2SO4 tells us there are two hydrogen atoms, one sulfur atom and four oxygen atoms in each molecule of sulfuric acid.

5. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that stems from electrostatic attraction between ions with opposite charges. A covalent bond is another type of chemical bond that involves sharing of electrons between atoms in order to achieve a stable electronic structure for the molecule as a whole.

A burner on a stove produces temperature. thermal energy. hotness. fire energy.
Aleksandr [31]

Question:

The options are;

a. Temperature

b. Thermal Energy

c. Hotness

d. Fire Energy

Answer:

The correct option is;

b. Thermal energy

Explanation:

A burner on a stove produces thermal energy which is used to raise the temperature of the metal container (kettle, pot or pans) in which items are placed for heating.

Thermal energy is the internal energy of the system given off as heat which when transferred from one body to another causes the temperature of the receiving body to rise. Thermal energy in a burner is given off when the gaseous fuel reacts or burns in the presence of or with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor in an exothermic reaction.

4C + 5H₂ + 13/2O₂ (-125 kJ) → C₄H₁₀ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O (-2877 kJ).
