<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

Is this atom more likely to gain electrons or to lose electrons? Explain how you can tell
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Likely to gain electrons

Explanation:

The atom shown is likely to gain additional electrons to complete its electronic configuration.

  • Since this is a neutral specie, the number of protons and electrons are the same.
  • The atom has 16 electrons
  • the number of valence electrons is 6
  • If the atom gains two additional electrons, the octet configuration is attained
  • Also, the atom can lose 6 electrons to become an octet

The atom will prefer to gain additional 2 electrons to give an octet configuration.

Which of the following does not serve as a way to neutralize the charge in a body?
xenn [34]

<u>Answer: </u><em>B. Adding more protons to a positively charged body until the number of protons matches the number of electrons</em>

Option B is the appropriate response  

<u>Explanation:</u>

Utilising the equivalent number of inverse charges will kill a charged body.  

Adding more protons to a decidedly charged body until the number of protons coordinates the quantity of electrons won't kill the body since protons are emphatically charged particles. Adding more protons to an emphatically charged body would make it all the more decidedly charged.  

Enabling free electrons to escape from a contrarily charged body will kill since the more negative body leaves the negative electrons.
