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.
Answer:
I don't see a specific question, so I'll make a few comments and hope that answers the reason for the post.
Explanation:
Zinc(Zn) does react with iron chloride, since zinc is a more reactive metal than the iron.
When Zn is introduced to an iron (III) chloride solution, the Zn disoplaces the Fe atom in a displacement reaction.
The chemical equation of the reaction:
Zn + Fe(III)Cl3 → ZnCl3 + Fe
Energy is often realeased in this type of reaction, since the resulting chemical products have a lower energy that the reactants.
There are several metals more reactive than iron. One of the more interesting examples of a highly exothermic reaction with iron chloride (rust) is the reaction of aluminum with iron chloride. `This is highly exothermic and is labelled a thermite reaction. It provides a spectacular flame that is not enough to weld railroad tracks together.
(1) False, lots of energy is actually produced from nuclear fuel, if we didn't get much then we probably wouldn't use it
(2) False, its burning coal that contributes to acid rain, since it contains sulfur
(3) False again, we can control the reaction with aptly named control rods, which are typically made of boron, to absorb some of the neutrons flying around in the chain reaction
(4) True, radioactive waste is very difficult to dispose of, and is also very dangerous. Sources of radiation can remain so for millions of years
