1 Aluminium is oxidised Al - 3e = Al⁺³
2 Chlorine is reduced Cl⁺⁷ + 8e = Cl⁻¹
3 Nitrogen is oxidised 2N⁻³ - 6e = N₂
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.
The number of electrons in an atom's outermost valence shell governs its bonding behaviour. Elements whose atoms have the same number of valence electrons are grouped together in the Periodic Table. ... Nonmetals tend to attract additional valence electrons to form either ionic or covalent bonds.
The correct answer should be Letter B
Specialized proteins which function as catalysts for organic reactions are enzymes.
