<u>Answer:</u>

The idea that as we go down the periodic table the atomic radius increases and first ionization energy decreases was given by Henry Moosely after he made some changes in the periodic table, the theory proposed by Mendeleev.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Both these trends were well explained and supported by genuine reasons.
As we go down a group in periodic table, a new shell is added at each level, which increases the size and hence the radius of the atom and the size of atom increases which means the outermost shell is increasingly moving farther from the atom.
Due to this fact, electrons experience less attractive force from the nucleus and electrons are easily removed, so the first ionization energy decreases.

<h2>Henry Moseley made the idea that as you go down the periodic table the atomic radius increases and the first ionization energy decreases</h2>

Explanation:

Mosely revised the periodic table trend devised by Mendelev by changing the criterion of atomic mass to atomic number.

The atomic number defines the atomic radius as well as ionization energy trends in the periodic table. The atomic number or the number of positively charged protons determines the atomic radius. With increase in positive charge, the atomic radius decreases due to electron proximity towards the nucleus.

In a periodic table:

Across a period – nuclear charge increases, a greater attraction between the valence shell electron and nucleus

Down a group – nuclear charge increases, shielding increases due to more electron shells, a lesser attraction between the valence shell electron and nucleus. Based on this,

Across a period – atomic radius decreases and first ionization energy increases

Down a group – atomic radius increases and first ionization energy decreases

anastassius [24]

Injecting salt crystals over the ocean to grow cloud droplets has been proposed in efforts to make the clouds brighter thereby affecting the radiation budget. The light of the sun shines on Earth, some of that light is reflected by the clouds back to space and some of the light reaches the earth and warms our planet. The earth and the hot oceans emit infrared radiation (IR), which we feel as heat. That IR "light"; returns to space through the atmosphere. Most are trapped by greenhouse gases, which keep the earth warm. Soon after, the IR radiation returns to space. Scientists call this "energy budget of the Earth" this cycle of incoming and outgoing energy.

Answer:

Is the source an authority on the subject?

Explanation:

To figure out which source is accurate, you want to find out the source's authority on the subject. For example, if you wanted to learn how to play the piano, you wouldn't go to a dance teacher, you would go to someone who knows how to play the piano. The person who knows how to play the piano has more authority to teach the piano than a dance teacher.

Archy [21]

Answer:

Increase in the concentration of the reactants (vinegar and baking soda) leads to an increase in the rate of reaction (more volume of CO2 is evolved within a shorter time)

Explanation:

The chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar in water is shown in the chemical reaction equation below;

NaHCO3(aq) + CH3COOH(aq) ----->CO2(g) + H2O(l) + CH3COONa(aq)

The chemical name of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) while vineager is a dilute acetic acid (CH3COOH) solution. This reaction provides a very easy set up in which we can study the effect of concentration on the rate of chemical reaction.

We must have it behind our minds that increase in the concentration of reactant species increases the rate of chemical reaction. Secondly, the rate of the reaction between baking soda and vinegar can be monitored by observing the volume of CO2 evolved and how quickly it evolves from the reaction mixture.

We can now postulate a hypothesis which states that; 'increase in the concentration of the reactants (vinegar and baking soda) leads to an increase in the rate of reaction (more volume of CO2 is evolved within a shorter time).'

If we go ahead to subject this hypothesis to experimental test, it will be confirmed to be true because a greater volume of CO2 will be evolved within a shorter time as the concentration of the reactants increases.
