Answer:

<u>Option 1</u>:  N⁻³ > O⁻² > F⁻ > Na⁺ > Mg⁺²    

Explanation:

<u>Ionic radius is the radius of an atom´s ion in ionic crystal structure</u>.<u> </u><u><em>In an ion that lose an electron, to form a cation, the radius of the ion gets smaller</em></u><em>, </em>because the repulsion between electrons decrease because fewer electrons are present. Conversely, <u><em>adding on electron to a neutral atom, to form an anion, causes electron - electron repulsions to increase, so the size of the radius of the ion gets bigger.</em></u>                  

<u><em>Isoelectronic species are ions or elements that have the same number of electrons in their electronic shells but have different overall charges, because of their different atomic numbers</em></u>.                        

<u><em>In a isolelectronic series (same number of electrons),</em></u> <u><em>the increase of the positive charge (given by the number of protons in the nucleus), will cause a decrease in radius </em></u>beacuse the greater electrostatic attraction between the electrons and the nucleus. Consequently, the ion with the greatest nuclear charge will have the smallest ionic radius and the ion with the smallest nulear charge will have the largest ionic radius.  

<u>We will use this principle to solve our problem</u>.  

In our case, the given ions are:  

  • N⁻³ :    Z = 7,  e⁻ = 10
  • O⁻²:     Z= 8,   e⁻ =10
  • F⁻:       Z = 9,  e⁻ = 10
  • Na⁺:    Z= 11,   e⁻ = 10
  • Mg⁺²:  Z=12,   e⁻ =10

where Z= number of protons, and e⁻ = number of electrons.

<em><u>Hence the decreasing order of ionic radius is:</u></em>

N⁻³ > O⁻² > F⁻ > Na⁺ > Mg⁺²  

Have a nice day!

The compounds that are produced upon this combustion reaction would be Carbon Dioxide and water.

CO2 = Carbon and Oxygen
H2O = Hydrogen and Oxygen.

The exact molecular amounts or moles can be determined by balancing this combustion reaction.

The density of liquid mercury is 13.69 g/cm^3. How many atoms of mercury are in a 15.0 cm^3 sample? Use "E" for "x10" and use si
balu736 [363]
The formula is  m = D x V
D = <span>13.69 g/cm^3.
</span>V = <span>15.0 cm^3 
the mass of the liquid mercury is m= </span>13.69 g/cm^3 x 15.0 cm^3 = 195g
the molar mass of Hg is 200,
1 mole of Hg = 200g Hg, so #mole of Hg= 195 / 200 = 0.97 mol
but we know that
 1 mole  = 6.022 E23 atoms
0.97 mole=?

6.022 E23 atoms x 0.97 / 1 mole = 5.84 E23 atoms

Harry stores toxic chemical waste in a large steel tank that has only 15% of its volume underground. Jena lives in the wildernes
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Only Harry and Jena

Explanation:

Under federal regulations, an UST is any one or a combination of tanks such that the volume of an accumulation of regulated substances is 10% or more beneath the surface of the ground.

Any UST system holding a mixture of hazardous waste and other regulated substances are also are not covered by federal regulations regarding USTs.

Farm or residential tank of capacity more than 11 gallons used for storing motor fuel is covered by federal regulations regarding USTs.

According to the given question,

Only Harry and Jena are covered by federal regulations regarding USTs.
