When aluminium and chlorine compared , which has smaller atomic size ? Why ?​
Zielflug [23.3K]
Chlorine has a smaller atomic size.
Explanation: As you move towards right of the periodic table, the atomic size decreases. This is because the number of protons is increasing towards the right of the periodic table, which applies a greater inward force on the electrons. that is why the elements on the right of the periodic table have a smaller atomic size when compared to the elements on the left. Since chlorine is on the right side of aluminium, it has a smaller atomic size.

One of the few xenon compounds that form is cesium xenon heptafluoride (CsXeF7). How many moles of CsXeF7 can be produced from t
larisa [96]
The balanced chemical equation is written as:

<span>CsF(s) + XeF6(s) ------> CsXeF7(s)

We are given the amount of </span>cesium fluoride and <span>xenon hexafluoride used for the reaction. We need to determine first the limiting reactant to proceed with the calculation. From the equation and the amounts, we can say that the limiting reactant would be cesium fluoride.  We calculate as follows:

11.0 mol CsF ( 1 mol </span>CsXeF7 / 1 mol CsF ) = 11.0 mol <span>CsXeF7</span>

kirill115 [55]
Ok so, remember that t<span>he average atomic mass is what is seen on the periodic table. It is the average mass of all of the isotopes with their frequency taken into account. What you need to do is add the products of the masses and frequencies Just like this:</span>

<span>0.903*267.8 + 0.097*270.9
When you add it the result is what you are looking for</span>
