While staying in the same period, if we move from left to right across the period, the atomic radius decreases. The reason is, in a period the number of shells remain the same and the number of electrons and protons increase as we move across the period to the right. The increased electrons and protons attract each other with greater force and hence the atomic size decreases. 

So the element on the left most will have the largest atomic radius. So the correct ans is Potassium. Potassium will have the largest atomic size among Potassium, Calcium and Scandium.

What happens during a chemical reaction?
frozen [14]

Answer: The reactants’ bonds break, and bonds of the products form.

Explanation:

When a chemical reaction takes place, the bonds are broken and new bonds are formed to make new molecules. Like when 2 water molecules are broken down to form hydrogen and oxygen.

The Lewis Structure of HCN is shown below,

Number of Bonding Electrons:
                                               In HCN Hydrogen is bonded to Carbon through single bond and Nitrogen is bonded to Carbon through Triple Bond. Single bond is formed by two bonding electrons, while, triple bond is formed by six bonding electrons, Hence,

                               Number of Bonding Electrons  =  8

Number of Non-Bonding Electrons:
                                                            In HCN there is only one lone pair of electron present on Nitrogen atom which is not taking part in bonding. Hence, 
                              Number of Non-Bonding Electrons  =  2

Result:

                               Number of Bonding Electrons  =  8

                              Number of Non-Bonding Electrons  =  2

The phenomenon responsible for maintaining the upward movement of water through vessels in a tree is __________.
Goshia [24]

Answer:

Cohesion

Explanation:

Cohesion tension theory of water movement up the tree vessels

 Cohesion is the term used to describe the binding forces present in water molecules through hydrogen bonds as such the water molecules have considerable tensile strenghth allowing them to be pulled up into the leaves of plants through the tree vessels without breakage as longitutudinal stress are placed on the water as it is pulled up
