Therefore the largest atoms are on the left and the smallest on the right. So sodium (Na) has the largest atomic radius, as the valence electrons are the least attracted to the nucleus

Answer:

Sodium (largest) and Sulfur (smallest)

Explanation:

Atomic radius of an element/atom is the distance between the central nucleus of the element/atom and the outermost shell of electrons. This indicates that the higher the number of shells, the higher the atomic radius, hence atomic radius increases down the group.

But the question focuses on elements in the same period. Magnesium (Mg), Silicon (Si), Sulfur (S) and Sodium (Na) are all found in period 3 on the periodic table. Elements having the same number of electron shells are found in the same period but the number of valence electrons plays a crucial role in atomic radius across a period - this is because the outermost shell is easily attracted to the central nucelus when there are fewer number of valence electrons on it, hence atomic radius decreases across the period as there is an increase in valence electrons across the period.

The trend below shows increasing pattern of atomic radius of the options provided

S< Si< Mg< Na

The trend shows that sulfur (S) has the smallest while sodium (Na) has the largest atomic radius.

What elements are in the star sirius?
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Sirius B is primarily made out of a carbon-oxygen mixture that was generated by helium fusion in the progenitor star. The outer atmosphere is now almost pure hydrogen, the element with the lowest mass.

The standard cell potential (E°cell) for the reaction below is +0.63 V. The cell potential for this reaction is ________ V when
tia_tia [17]

Answer : The cell potential for this reaction is 0.50 V

Explanation :

The given cell reactions is:

Pb^{2+}(aq)+Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+Pb(s)

The half-cell reactions are:

Oxidation half reaction (anode):  Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction half reaction (cathode):  Pb^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Pb

First we have to calculate the cell potential for this reaction.

Using Nernest equation :

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{2.303RT}{nF}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Pb^{2+}]}

where,

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = room temperature = 25^oC=273+25=298K

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = +0.63 V

E_{cell} = cell potential for the reaction = ?

[Zn^{2+}] = 3.5 M

[Pb^{2+}] = 2.0\times 10^{-4}M

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=(+0.63)-\frac{2.303\times (8.314)\times (298)}{2\times 96500}\log \frac{3.5}{2.0\times 10^{-4}}

E_{cell}=0.50V

Therefore, the cell potential for this reaction is 0.50 V

How do you think temperature will affect the rate of a chemical reaction?
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

I could create a slower reaction because the particles might be moving slower due to the cold. if it was warm there will be a faster reaction. similar to the elements movements in solids and liquids.
