Answer:
Option (d) is correct
N³⁻ > F⁻ > Mg²⁺ > Si⁴⁺
Explanation:
Total electrons for all the species = 10
So these are <u>iso electronic</u> with each other.
We know
Ionic radii ∝ 
- Si⁴⁺ has 14 protons and 10 electrons
- Mg²⁺ has 12 protons and 10 electrons
- N³⁻ has 7 protons and 10 electrons
- F⁻ has 9 protons and 10 electrons
- Iso electronic species with greatest number of protons have small size and vice versa.
- So Si⁺⁴ have smallest size and N³⁻ have largest in size

Answer:
The new volume of the gas is 276.45 mL.
Explanation:
For the reactants,
- The oxidation number of hydrogen = +1
- The oxidation number of oxygen = -2
- The oxidation number of arsenic = +5
- The oxidation number of carbon = +3
For the products,
- The oxidation number of hydrogen = +1
- The oxidation number of oxygen = -2
- The oxidation number of arsenic = +3
- The oxidation number of carbon = +4
Here, arsenic (+5 to +3) and carbon (+3 to +4) are the only oxidation numbers changing.
Note that an increase in oxidation number means electrons are lost. Thus oxidation is occurring, and a decrease in oxidation number means electrons are being gained, and thus reduction is occurring.
Also, the compound that contains the element being oxidized is the reducing agent, and the compound that contains the element being reduced is the oxidizing agent.
So, the answers are:
name of the element oxidized: Carbon
name of the element reduced: Arsenic
formula of the oxidizing agent: 
formula of the reducing agent:

58. Each of the following answers is based on the assumption that nonmetallic
atoms tend to form covalent bonds in order to get an octet (8) of
electrons around each atom, like the very stable noble gases (other than
helium). Covalent bonds (represented by lines in Lewis structures) and lone
pairs each contribute two electrons to the octet.
(a) oxygen, O
If oxygen atoms form two covalent bonds, they will have an octet of electrons
around them. Water is an example:
H O H
(b) fluorine, F
If fluorine atoms form one covalent bond, they will have an octet of electrons
around them. Hydrogen fluoride, HF, is an example:
H F
(c) carbon, C
If carbon atoms form four covalent bonds, they will have an octet of electrons
around them. Methane, CH4, is an example:
H H

(d) phosphorus, P
If phosphorus atoms form three covalent bonds, they will have an octet
