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

Finger [1]

First step is to balance the reaction equation. Hence we get P4 + 5 O2 => 2 P2O5

Second, we calculate the amounts we start with

P4: 112 g = 112 g/ 124 g/mol – 0.903 mol

O2: 112 g = 112 g / 32 g/mol = 3.5 mol

Lastly, we calculate the amount of P2O5 produced.

2.5 mol of O2 will react with 0.7 mol of P2O5 to produce 1.4 mol of P2O5.

This is 1.4 * (31*2 + 16*5) = 198.8 g

This question is for science. which options describes the particles of water as liquid water actively boils to become steam?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The correct option is;

a. The particles will gain a large amount of kinetic energy

Explanation:

As the water temperature reaches 100°C, which is the boiling point for water at atmospheric pressure, the continued heating is then used to break up the strong inter molecular forces between molecules of the water  such that the individual molecules are free to move about and due to the high temperature, have gained considerable amount of kinetic energy for the to rise to appreciable height and to also spread.

The heat which converts water into steam is called latent heat as during the boiling phase, the temperature of the water remains constant.

What's the atomic number​
nadezda [96]

Answer:

the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which is characteristic of a chemical element and determines its place in the periodic table.

atomic number, the number of a chemical element in the periodic system, whereby the elements are arranged in order of increasing number of protons in the nucleus. Accordingly, the number of protons, which is always equal to the number of electrons in the neutral atom, is also the atomic number. An atom of iron has 26 protons in its nucleus; therefore the atomic number of iron is 26.
