Relative dating will tell you exactly how old a rock layer is. True False

Chemistry
1 answer:
yawa3891 [41]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

False. It doesn't give the exact age of the rock layers.

Explanation:

  • Geologists define relative dating as the sequence in which rocks are arranged. Rock layers are called strata and relative dating can't give the exact age of these layers.
  • It's assumed that the old rock layers will be at the bottom while the new rock layers will be at the top. This is described as superposition principle.
  • Normally, these sedimentary rock layers appear in a horizontal manner although they can slightly tilt.

Which group/family contains elements with the smallest radius within the same period?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Halogens

Explanation:

From the given choices, the halogens will have the smallest radius within the same period.

The size of an atom is estimated by the atomic radius. This is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance between two nuclei in the solid state.

  • Across a period in the periodic table, atomic radii decrease progressively from left to right.
  • Down a group from top to bottom, atomic radii increase progressively due to the addition of successive shells.

Since halogen is the right most group from the choices given, it will have the smallest radius.

For elements in the third row of the periodic table and beyond, the octet rule is often not obeyed. a friend of yours says this
Rom4ik [11]

The reason that some of the elements of period three and beyond are steady in spite of not sticking to the octet rule is due to the fact of possessing the tendency of forming large size, and a tendency of making more than four bonds. For example, sulfur, it belongs to period 3 and is big enough to hold six fluorine atoms as can be seen in the molecule SF₆, while the second period of an element like nitrogen may not be big to comprise 6 fluorine atoms.  

The existence of unoccupied d orbitals are accessible for bonding for period 3 elements and beyond, the size plays a prime function than the tendency to produce more bonds. Hence, the suggestion of the second friend is correct.
