Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Rate of diffusion is defined as the total movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration.

The interaction between medium and the material is responsible for the rate of diffusion of a material or substance.

A small concentration gradient means small difference in the number of molecules taking part in a reaction. So, when there no large difference between the concentration then there won't be much difference in the rate of diffusion of a material.

Whereas a higher concentration of molecules will lead to more number of collisions due to which frequency of molecules increases. Therefore, rate of diffusion will also increase.

Small molecule size will also lead to increases in rate of diffusion. This is because according to Graham's law rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to molar mass of an element. Hence, smaller size molecule will have smaller mass. As a result, rate of diffusion will be more.

High temperature means more kinetic energy of molecules due to which more number of collisions will be there. Hence, rate of diffusion will also increase.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options a small concentration gradient  is least likely to increase the rate of diffusion.

The monatomic ions of Groups 1A(1) and 7A(17) are all singly charged. In what major way do they differ? Why?
insens350 [35]

<u>Answer:</u> Group 1 ions are known as cations and Group 17 ions are known as anions.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ions are formed when an atom looses or gains electrons.

If an atom gains electrons, it leads to the formation of negative ions known as anions. <u>For Example:</u> Fluorine is a Group 17 element which gains 1 electron to form F^- ions.

If an atom looses electrons, it leads to the formation of positive ions known as cations. <u>For Example:</u> Sodium is a Group 1 element which looses 1 electron to form Na^+ ions.

Hence, group 1 ions are known as cations and Group 17 ions are known as anions.

How many sublevels inn the second energy level?
GREYUIT [131]

There are two subshells that are s and p, which are present in the second energy level.

The energy level can be defined as the fixed distances from the nucleus of an atom where electrons may be found. Each energy level is divided into some Subshells. These subshells are known as s-subshell, p-subshell, d-subshell, and f-subshell. This subshell contains some orbitals, these orbitals are the place where there is the maximum probability of getting the electrons. In one orbital, a maximum of two electrons can be present.

Hence, there are two subshells in the second energy level.
