Remember that a cation will be smaller than its neutral atom, and an anion will be larger than its neutral atom. This would automatically eliminate answer choices A and D.
Also keep in mind that atomic radii decreases from left to right as you move along a periodic table. It also decreases from bottom up.
Atomic radii increases as you move from right to left and as you go from up to down.
As bromine is higher up in the periodic table than Iodine, it would have a smaller radius. Iodine would have a larger radius.
The correct answer is B. Br
Answer:
Types of chemical weathering
1. Hydrolysis
2. Oxidation
3. Carbonation
4. Acid rain
5. Acids produced by lichens
Explanation:
Chemical weathering occurs when rocks undergo chemical reactions to form new minerals.
Hydrolysis : is when water dissolves minerals present in rocks forming new compounds.
Oxidation : is when oxygen reacts with rocks eg. rust formation
Carbonation : it uses an acid known as carbonic acid, it is important in the formation of many caves and sinkholes.
The greenhouse effect increases the temperature of the Earth by trapping
heat in our atmosphere. This keeps the temperature of the Earth higher
than it would be if direct heating by the Sun was the only source of
warming.
When the sunlight reaches the surface of the Earth, some of it is absorbed
which warms the ground and some bounces back to space as heat. Greenhouse gases that are in the atmosphere absorb and then redirect some of this heat back towards the Earth.
