Elements present in group 18 are known as noble gases. The outermost shell of these elements are completely filled.

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an element has incompletely filled valence or outermost shell then that atom is most likely to undergo a chemical reaction in order to attain stability.

For example, sodium has atomic number 11 and its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 1. So, to attain stability sodium will readily loose 1 electron. Hence, it will become reactive in nature to attain stability.

Whereas argon has atomic number 18 and its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 8. Therefore, its valence shell is completely filled so, it will not react easily.

Hence, we can conclude that family of group 18 on the periodic table is least likely to enter into chemical reactions.

Which of the following ions has the smallest ionic radius?
maria [59]

Answer:

The C4+ ion has the smallest ionic radius

Explanation:

In the periodic table, the size of an atom increases on going downwards in a group.

On the other hand, in a period, size decreases on going from left to right

The size of cation is smaller than its parent atom.

Lithium-ion (Li+) is the most left so it has the biggest radius.

More to the right ( this means a smaller ionic radius) , we have Berylium-ion (Be2+).

More to the right, so smaller than Be2+, we have B3+

The ion the most to the right, we have C4+

The C4+ ion has the smallest ionic radius

Li+ > Be2+ > Be3+ > C4+

What is the mass percentage of carbon in 5.000 G of sucrose
Crank
17) 8.4 / 20 x 100

18) 20 . 0.5150

19) 6,50% because (as you said) the law of definite proportions states that regardless of the amount, a compound is always composed of the same elements in the same proportion by mass
