Answer:

Detail is given below

Explanation:

Atomic radii trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.

In A we can see that there is one positive charge and force of attraction is 2.30×10⁻⁸ N and distance is 0.10 nm

In B we can see that negative charge is further away from nucleus because of greater distance thus force of attraction will be less. 0.58×10⁻⁸ N

In C this distance further increases and force also goes in decreasing 0.26×10⁻⁸ N.

A compound containing phosphorus and oxygen has a molar mass of 219.9 g/mol and an empirical formula of p2o3. Determine its mole
Softa [21]

Answer:

P₄O₆

Explanation:

The molecular formula is a whole number multiple of the empirical formula. that is, if the mole wt is 219.9 gms/mole and the empirical formula weight is 110 gms/mole*, then the whole number multiple is 219.9/110 = 2 => Molecular formula => (P₂O₄)₂ => P₄O₆.

A student dissolves 0.0688 mol of sodium hydroxide in water to make a 0.250 L solution. What is the molarity of the solution?
den301095 [7]
Number of moles = 0.0688 moles of NaoH

volume = 0.250 L

Molarity = moles of solute / volume ( L )

M = 0.0688 / 0.250

M = 0.28 M
