Answer:

Explanation:

The atomic radius of elements are used to estimate the sizes of elements. The atomic radius 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 of metals.

To solve this problem we will obtain the atomic radius values of the given elements from a standard atomic radius table;

          Si          111 pm

           P          98 pm

          Cl          79 pm

            S           87pm

pm = picometer

We see that chlorine has the least atomic radius

27. Based on Reference Table S, which of the
Lorico [155]

Answer:

This question is incomplete but the correct option is B

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the "Reference Table S", however the question can still be answered in the absence of the table. The energy described in the question is the ionization energy (energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron in an atom). This question seeks to know the atom (from the options provided) with the least ionization energy.

Ionization energy increases from left to right across the period because it's easier to remove a single electron (valence electron) from the outermost shell than to remove two electrons from the same shell; thus the more the valence electrons (in a shell), the higher the ionization energy. Thus, bromine (Br) and tin (Sn) have high ionization energies because they have more number of electrons in there outermost shell.

<u>Berylium (Be) and strontium (Sr) are both in the group 2 of the periodic table because they both have 2 electrons in there outermost shell. Ionization energy decreases down a group. This is because the farther an electron is from the nucleus, the weaker the force of attraction between the nucleus and the electron. Thus, strontium (Sr) would have a lesser ionization energy between the two and would indeed have the least ionization among the options provided</u>. Hence, the correct option is B

In an area in which electricity costs 8 cents/kilowatt-hour, a 5 kW clothes dryer runs for 90 minutes to dry a load of laundry.
Orlov [11]
90 minutes is 1.5 hours.

5 kW * 1.5 hours = 7.5 kWh

8c/kWh * 7.5 kWh = 60 cents
