Answer:
- <u>Cadmium has larger atomic radius than sulfur.</u>
Explanation:
Down a period, atomic radii decrease from left to right due to the increase in the number of protons and electrons across a period: when a proton is added the pull of the electrons towards the nucleus is larger, so the size of the atom decreases.
Hence, you can compare the elements that belong to a same period and predict that the atom with lower atomic number (number of protons) will haver larger atomic radius. With that:
- Oxygen and fluorine are in the period 3, being oxygen to the left of fluorine, so oxygen is larger than fluorine.
- Sulfur and chlorine are in the period 4, being sulfur to the left of chlorine, so sulfur is larger than chlorine.
Now see whan happens down a group. Atomic radius increases from top to bottom within a group due to electron shielding. That permits you to compare the size of the elements in a group:
- Fluorine and chlorine are in the same group (17), with chlorine directly below fluorine, so the atomic radius of chlorine is larger than the atomic radius of fluorine.
- Sulfur and oxygen are in the same group (16), with sulfur directlly below oxygen, so sulfur the atomic radius of sulfur is larger than the atocmi radius of oxygen.
So far, you can rank the atomic radius of sulfur, chlorine, fluorine, and oxygen, in increasing order as:
- O < F < Cl < S, concluding that O, F, and Cl have smaller atomic radius than S.
Cadmiun, Cd, is to the left and below sulfur, so both electron shielding (down a group) and increase of the number of protons (down a period) lead to predict the cadmium has a larger atomic radius than sulfur.
The cations has positive charges that are metals while the anions have negative charges that are non-metals. Upon reaction, there is an exchange in charges that are reflected in the subscripts of the atoms. In this case, compound AX2 must have a cation, A belonging to group 2 A with +2 charge and anion, X belonging to Group 7A with -1 charge. Answer is D.
Answer: 520.04 meters.
If you convert 350 yards to meters, you get 320.04.
320.04m + 200m = 520.04m.
Take off the .04 if necessary:)
It’s a exothermic reaction.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Laboratory synthesis of aspirin is done by the acetylation of salicylic acid with the help of acetic anhydride .
As , the acid anhydride is very sensitive to moisture , as it can hydrolyze into two molecules of acids,
Hence , the reaction involving acid anhydride are conducted in anhydrous solvents .
Hence ,
if water is present in the glassware then , some of the acetic anhydride is wasted , Which in turns reduces the yield than that expected .
