The radius of a chlorine ion is larger than the radius of a chlorine atom because  the effective nuclear charge decreases, therefore the inward force decreases, increasing the ionic radius.

If chlorine (nonmetal) has seven valence electrons while barium (metal) has
swat32

Answer: Two chlorine atoms

Explanation:

Chlorine is a nonmetal belonging to group 7 of the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 17 distributed as (2, 8, 7), so it has 7 valence electrons and needs JUST ONE to complete its outermost shell.

Cl + e- ---> Cl-

On the other hand, barium is a metal belonging to group 2 on the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 56 with 2

valence electrons in its outermost shell, and gives off the two electrons to form a stable octet structure.

Ba ----> Ba2+ + 2e-

Thus, barium loses its 2 outermost electrons to form a Ba2+ ion, while TWO chlorine atoms receive them to form 2Cl- resulting in an ionic bond in the compound, BaCl2 (Barium Chloride)

Ba2+ + 2Cl- ---> BaCl2

An object with a mass of 10.0 kg is moving at a speed of 5.00m/s. The kinetic energy of the mass is
NemiM [27]
KE = (1/2)mv^2
m = 10.0 kg
v = 5.00 m/a

KE = (1/2)(10.0)(5.00)^2 = (1/2)(10.0)(25.0) = 125 J

C. 125 J

A certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.18 × 1014 Hz. What is the energy of exactly one photon of this light?
AysviL [449]
I'm assuming you meant 10^(14) instead of 1014
if so, then the energy of one photon will be be 4.76×10^(-19) Joules

What allows two or more atoms to be held together?
eduard

Answer:

Atoms come together to form molecules because of their electrons. Electrons can join (or bond) atoms together in two main ways. When two atoms share electrons between them, they are locked together (bonded) by that sharing. These are called covalent bonds.
