Which of the following elements has the smallest atomic radius

Chemistry
1 answer:
babunello [35]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Element with the smallest radius is Carbon.

Explanation:

In a periodic table, atomic radius increases down the group due to addition of a new shell and decreases across the period from left to right due to increasing nuclear charge.

Due to addition of more electrons in same shell and increase of positive charge in nucleus increases attractive forces between electrons and nucleus hence decreasing size.

Carbon and Lithium are present in same period and hence Carbon has smaller size; Potassium and Bromine are present in same period and hence out of the two, Bromine has smaller size.

On comparing Carbon and Bromine, atomic radius increases down the group hence, Carbon has the smallest radius among the four given elements.

Compute the equilibrium constant at 25 ∘C for the reaction between Sn2+(aq) and Cd(s), which form Sn(s) and Cd2+(aq). Express yo
Radda [10]

Answer:

6.1×10^8

Explanation:

The reaction is;

Sn^2+(aq) + Cd(s) -----> Sn(s) + Cd^2+(aq)

E°cell = E°cathode - E°anode

E°cathode= -0.14 V

E°anode= -0.40 V

E°cell = -0.14-(-0.40)

E°cell= -0.14+0.40

E°cell= 0.26 V

But

E°cell= 0.0592/n log K

E°cell= 0.0592/2 log K

0.26= 0.0296log K

log K = 0.26/0.0296

log K= 8.7838

K= Antilog (8.7838)

K= 6.1×10^8

What makes an atom a good conductor?
andrew-mc [135]
Very little electric force is required to cause electron flow in conductors. This is due to electrons called "free electrons", which exist in the atoms of conductors. "Free electrons" are electrons that are very weakly bonded to the atom. ... Metals such as copper, silver, and gold are good conductors.

Well, atoms are loosely bound and free to move through the material. Almost all, or just most, atoms will hold on to electrons very tightly and are insulators.

Balance the following half-reaction: (acidic) VO2+(aq) → V3+(aq) Express your answer as a half-reaction. Identify all of the pha
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The balanced half reaction in an acidic medium is :

VO^{2+}(aq)+2H^+(aq)+e^-\rightarrow V^{3+}(aq)+H_2O(l)

Explanation:

VO^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow V^{3+}(aq)

While balancing the half-reaction in  an acidic medium, we will first balance oxygen atoms by adding water:

1) Adding 1 water molecule on product side to balance oxygen atoms.

VO^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow V^{3+}(aq)+H_2O(l)

Now balance hydrogen atom by adding H^+ ions.

2) Adding 2 hydrogen ions on reactant side to balance hydrogen atoms.

VO^{2+}(aq)+2H^+(aq)\rightarrow V^{3+}(aq)+H_2O(l)

Now balance the charge adding electrons on the side where positive charge is mor.

3) Adding 1 electrons on reactant side to balance charge of the overall reaction:

VO^{2+}(aq)+2H^+(aq)+e^-\rightarrow V^{3+}(aq)+H_2O(l)

The balanced half reaction in an acidic medium is :

VO^{2+}(aq)+2H^+(aq)+e^-\rightarrow V^{3+}(aq)+H_2O(l)
