Answer:

A. because the addition of electrons results in an added energy level

Explanation:

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 we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases .

In both of case when extra electron is added the atom becomes anion and anionic radii is larger than neutral atom because of  addition of electrons results in an added energy level.

For the reaction: N2O5(g) \longrightarrow⟶ 2NO2(g) + 1/2O2(g)
ivanzaharov [21]
The given equation from the problem above is already balance,
                                 N2O5 ---> 2NO2 + 0.5O2
Since, in every mole of N2O5 consumed, 2 moles of NO2 are formed, we can answer the problem by multiplying the given rate, 7.81 mol/L.s with the ratio.
                    (7.81 mol/L.s) x (2 moles NO2 formed/ 1 mole of N2O5 consumed)
                       = 15.62 mol/L.s
The answer is the rate of formation of NO2 is approximately 15.62 mol/L.s.

A student dropped a piece of nickel metal into a solution of HCl(aq). He observed the formation of gas bubbles and collected the
omeli [17]

Answer:

a. The student performed the splint test incorrectly. He should of observed a popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.

Explanation:

It is given that a student performed an experiment where he dropped a nickel metal in to HCl solution. He observed the reaction and performed a splint test in the test tube that is filled with a gas which is formed while Nickle is dropped into the solution of HCl.

But the experiment that the student performed was incorrect. He must have observed the popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.

When the splint was added to the gas splint flared up. The hydrogen gas pops out when exposed to the flame.

$Ni + HCl(aq) = NiCl + H_2$

Thus the correct option is (a).

There are 34 questions on a test. John answers 22 correctly. What is Johns percent error?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

35 . 29%

Explanation:

no. of questions in test =34

no. of questions answered correctly =22

therefore, no. of questions answered incorrectly =34 - 22

=12

error percentage = 12/34 * 100

=35 .29 %
