<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Cations are much smaller than their corresponding parent

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Parent atom has more electrons and thus the effective nuclear charge on each electron is less.
  • When a cation is formed electron(s) is/are lost. Thus the effective nuclear charge or simply put, the attraction of the nucleus towards the electrons increases. Therefore, due to greater pull, the nucleus pulls the shells towards it, there by reducing the size, which makes cations smaller than their corresponding parent.

What does a chemical bond results from a rearrangement of?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Atoms

Explanation:

Chemical bonds results from the rearrangement of atoms in a chemical species.

It deals with the various attractive forces joining chemical species togethe.

  • When atoms are re-arranged, they form chemical bonds that leads to production of new compounds.
  • This is made possible by the exchange or sharing of electrons.
  • The driving force for most interatomic bonding is the tendency to have completely filled outer energy levels like the noble gases.
  • When atoms are re-arranged in compounds they lead to the production of chemical bonds.

What are valence electrons and why are they so important in chemistry?
stealth61 [152]

valance electrons that reside in the outermost shell of an atom in the highest energy level. They are important to atoms because the fewer valence electrons that the atom holds, it becomes less stable.

I take honors chemistry I hope this helps.

a doctor's order is 0.125 g of ampicillin. the liquid suspension on hand contains 250 mg/5.0 ml. how many milliliters of the sus
disa [49]
0.125 g=(0.125 g)(1000 mg/1g)=125 mg.

Then, we need 125 mg of ampicillin.
5 ml of  liquid suspension contains 250 mg of ampicilling , therefore:

5 ml----------------250 mg of ampicilling
x--------------------125 mg of ampicilling

x=(5 ml * 125 mg of ampicilling) / 250 mg of ampicilling=2.5 ml

Answer: we require 2.5 ml
