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

Catalytic converters made of palladium (pd) reduce automobile pollution by catalyzing the reaction between unburned hydrocarbons
Doss [256]
Unburned hydrocarbon on reacting with oxygen undergoes combustion reaction. However, the activation energy of this reaction is significantly high. When a catalyst like Pd is added to the reaction system, it provides active sites for the reaction to occur. It acts are a heterogeneous catalyst. It is pertinent of note that catalyst is refereed as heterogeneous, when it exist in different phase as compared to reactant and products. In present case, reactants and products are in gas phase, while catalyst is in solid phase. Due to availability of larger surface area at active site of Pd, activation energy of reaction decreases and decrease in activation energy favors higher reaction rates.

When using ion-selective electrodes, to compensate for a complex or unknown matrix, the _____________ method can be used to dete
VMariaS [17]

When using ion-selective electrodes, to compensate for a complex or unknown matrix, the  standard addition method can be used to determine the analyte concentration. Option D

<h3>What are  ion-selective electrodes?</h3>

Analytical chemistry is a science that deal with the measurement and detection of the accurate amount of a substance. Analytical chemistry plays a large role in environmental management as it helps in the determination of the levels of contaminants in a sample.

An ion selective electrode is used in analytical chemistry to measure the amount of a target ion by converting its activity into a measurable electrical signal.

Hence, when using ion-selective electrodes, to compensate for a complex or unknown matrix, the  standard addition method can be used to determine the analyte concentration.

Heat in a substance is an example of ________ energy. A. phase B. kinetic C. potential D. evaporative
lisov135 [29]
The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above is option B. Heat in a substance is an example of a kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is a kind of energy that is in motion. We can feel the kinetic energy of heat through their temperatures because heat is being transferred.
