Shielding electrons are the electrons in the energy levels between the nucleus and the valence electrons. They are called "shielding" electrons because they "shield" the valence electrons from the force of attraction exerted by the positive charge in the nucleus. Hope this helps!!
Answer:
Atomic radius of sodium = 227 pm
Atomic radius of potassium = 280 pm
Explanation:
Atomic radii trend along group:
As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.
Consider the example of sodium and potassium.
Sodium is present above the potassium with in same group i.e, group one.
The atomic number of sodium is 11 and potassium 19.
So potassium will have larger atomic radius as compared to sodium.
Atomic radius of sodium = 227 pm
Atomic radius of potassium = 280 pm
Answer : A and D shows PROCESS of sweating
Look at the atomic number of an element on the periodic table which is the smaller number.
The atomic number shows the number of protons/electrons so the number of protons and electrons are the same.
Whereas the mass number of an element (the other number) is the number of protons + neutrons.
Answer:
The higher up an object is the greater its gravitational potential energy. ... As most of this GPE gets changed into kinetic energy, the higher up the object starts from the faster it will be falling when it hits the ground. So a change in gravitational potential energy depends on the height an object moves through.
