Atomic radius is determined as the distance between the nuclei of two identical atoms bonded together. The atomic radius of atoms generally decreases from left to right across a period.
Answer: Option B) Atom
Explanation:
An atom is the simplest particle of an element that can retain all the chemical properties of the element, and therefore take part in a chemical reaction.
Thus, an atom of zinc (Zn) represent fully the entire properties of elemental Zinc. For instance: an atom of zinc has a mass of 65.38g.
Answer:
- <em>2NaCl → 2Na + Cl₂, ΔH = 822 kJ </em>
Explanation:
The chemical <em>equation</em> for the <em>formation of NaCl</em> is:
- Na + (1/2) Cl₂ → NaCl , ΔH = - 411 kJ
That equation means that 1 mole of NaCl is formed by the reaction of 1 mole of Na and 1/2 mole of Cl₂, with a release of energy of 411 kJ.
The <em>decomposition</em> of <em>NaCl</em> is the inverse of the <em>formation</em> reaction; thus, you swift products and reactants and inverse the sign of the <em>change in enthalpy:</em>
- NaCl → Na + 1/2 Cl₂, ΔH = 411 kJ
Since you want the decomposition of 2 moles you multiply the equation and the ΔH by 2:
- 2NaCl → 2Na + Cl₂, ΔH = 822 kJ ← answer
