Answer:

Barium has a greater radius than magnesium

Explanation:

Barium and magnesium are two elements which belong to the same group, group 2A. This means that the two elements have two valence electrons in their outer shell.

The difference is, however, since barium is lower in group than magnesium, it has more electron shells than magnesium and, therefore, its radius is greater. The attraction force between the nucleus and the valence electrons in barium is lower as a result, as force is inversely proportional to distance. Hence, a lower amount of energy is required to remove the valence electrons from barium.

Strike441 [17]
The answer to this question would be: Because the increase of temperature will increase volume.

Using PV=nRT formula we can see that temperature increase will cause an increase in volume. Overheating will cause the volume increase, then increasing the volume. If the percent value used is based on the volume, it will seem that the water is increased. But if the percent is using mass, there will be no increases.
That is why sometimes scientists using molality in a reaction with high temperature changes.

What type of reaction is most likely to occur when barium reacts with fluorine? write the chemical equation for the reaction?
scZoUnD [109]
Answer is: this is synthesis reaction.<span> 
</span>Chemical reaction: Ba + F₂ → BaF₂.
Synthesis reaction<span> is a type of reaction in which multiple reactants combine to form a single product.
</span>In barium fluoride, barium has oxidation number +2 and fluorine has oxidation number -1, so compound has neutral charge.
