Which of the following elements has the smallest atomic radius

Chemistry
1 answer:
babunello [35]3 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.

An ionized helium atom has a mass of 6.6 × 10-27 kg and a speed of 5.3 × 105 m/s. It moves perpendicular to a 0.78-T magnetic fi
arsen [322]

Explanation:

In a magnetic field, the radius of the charged particle is as follows.

             r = \frac{mv}{qB}

where,   m = mass,      v = velocity

              q = charge,    B = magnetic field

Therefore, q will be calculated as follows.

         q = \frac{mv}{rB}

            = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-27} \times 5.3 \times 10^{5}}{0.014 m \times 0.78 T}

            = \frac{34.98 \times 10^{-22}}{0.01092}

            = 3.2 \times 10^{-19} \times \frac{1.0 e}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}C}

            = +2e

Thus, we can conclude that the charge of the ionized atom is +2e.

Three separate 3.5g blocks of al, cu, and fe at 25°c each absorb 0.505 kj of heat. which block reaches the highest temperature?
77julia77 [94]

The energy can be shown as:

Q = ms dT

Whereas, m is the mass of block

s is specific heat

dT is change in temperature.

Copper block having the lowest specific heat and thus having the higher change in temperature and therefore having the higher final temperature.

Carbon atoms can be identified based on the # of which subatomic particles
34kurt

Answer: protons and neutrons.

The nucleus is made up of 3 subatomic particles that are protons,neutrons and electrons.  

General notation of an element is _{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}

where, X is the Element, A is the Atomic Mass and Z is the Atomic Number

If we know the number of protons we can easily find out the atomic number of any element because Atomic Number = Number of protons in an element.

And in addition if we know the number of neutrons we can easily find out the atomic mass of an element because

Atomic Mass = (Number of protons) + (Number of neutrons)

If we get to know the atomic number and atomic mass, we can easily tell what element is it by looking from the periodic table.
