m the nuclear charge than are sulfur’s outer electrons. (2) the outer orbitals of oxygen are located closer to the nucleus than those of sulfur. (3) the oxygen atom is larger than the sulfur atom. (4) the outer electrons of oxygen are less effectively screened from the nuclear charge than are sulfur’s outer electrons. (5) the outer orbitals of oxygen are located farther away from the nucleus than those of sulfur.

Answer: Option (2) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of oxygen atom is 8 and its electronic distribution is 2, 6. So, it contains only 2 orbitals which are closer to the nucleus of the atom.

As a result, the valence electrons are pulled closer by the nucleus of oxygen atom due to which there occurs a decrease in atomic size of the atom.

Whereas atomic number of sulfur is 16 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 6. As there are more number of orbitals present in a sulfur atom so, the valence electrons are away from the nucleus of the atom.

Hence, there is less force of attraction between nucleus of sulfur atom and its valence electrons due to which size of sulfur atom is larger than the size of oxygen atom.

Thus, we can conclude that the oxygen atom is smaller than the sulfur atom because the outer orbitals of oxygen are located closer to the nucleus than those of sulfur.

What pressure is required to achieve a co2 concentration of 7.90×10−2 m at 20∘c?
Savatey [412]

Answer:-  1.90 atm

Solution:- It is based on combined gas law equation, PV = nRT

In this equation, P is pressure, V is volume, n is moles of gas, R is universal gas constant and T is kelvin temperature.

If we divide both sides by V then:

P=\frac{nRT}{V}

We know that, molarity is moles per liter. So, in the above equation we could replace \frac{n}{V} by molarity, M of the gas. The equation becomes:

P = MRT

T = 20 + 273 = 293 K

M = 7.9*10^-^2

Let's plug in the values in the equation:

P = (7.9*10^-^2)(0.0821)(293)

P = 1.90 atm

So, the pressure of the gas is 1.90 atm.

PLEASE HELP!!!
yuradex [85]

This might be right. Im not quite sure. This is what my 5th grade science teacher told me. 'Look at the 2 LR's and add them together. Then look at the total amount which is 32. When you add the 2 LR's you get 17. So subtract 17 from 32 and you get 15. So: C:15 is your answer." (LR's stands for liquid reactants)

10+17=17

Total amount is 32

32-17=15

15 is you mass

Hope this Helps

atroni [7]
The statement that describes a chain reaction brought about by a nuclear reaction is "neutrons <span>released during a fission reaction cause other nuclei to split." This is applicable to fission reactions only wherein atoms split and produce neutrons that also cause further atoms to split, thus creating a chain or series of reactions.</span>
