While staying in the same period, if we move from left to right across the period, the atomic radius decreases. The reason is, in a period the number of shells remain the same and the number of electrons and protons increase as we move across the period to the right. The increased electrons and protons attract each other with greater force and hence the atomic size decreases.
So the element on the left most will have the largest atomic radius. So the correct ans is Potassium. Potassium will have the largest atomic size among Potassium, Calcium and Scandium.
Answer:
A magnetic field is a picture that we use as a tool to describe how the magnetic force is distributed in the space around and within something magnetic.
Explanation:
Answer:
B) exothermic.
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, we need to keep in mind that exothermic reactions release heat, so they increase the temperature as the final energy is less than the initial energy; in contrast, endothermic reactions absorb heat, so they decrease the temperature as the final energy is greater than the initial energy.
In such a way, when a dissolution process shows off a negative enthalpy of dissolution, we infer it is an exothermic process due to the aforementioned; therefore, the answer is:
B) exothermic
