How is ti possible that, when adding protons while moving left to right across a period, the size of an atom shrinks? Why is the

same trend not true as you move down a group? Give at least one example to support your answer.

As one moves across a period, from left to right, both the number of protons and electrons of a neutral atom increase. The enhancing number of electrons and protons results in a greater attraction between the electrons and the nucleus. This uplifted attraction pulls the electrons nearer to the nucleus, therefore, reducing the size of the atom.  

On the other hand, while moving down a group, there is an increase in the number of energy levels. The enhanced number of energy levels increases the size of the atom in spite of the elevation in the number of protons. In the outermost energy levels, the protons get attracted towards the nucleus, however, the attraction is less due to an increase in the distance from the nucleus.

Compare the trends for atomic size and first ionization energy.
bazaltina [42]

Explanation:

On a periodic table, the atomic size is depicted by the radius of the atom.

Across a period, the atomic radius reduces progressively from left to right.

Down the group from top to bottom, atomic radii increases progressively.

For the ionization energy, from left to right, across the period, it increases progressively and down a group it reduces.

These two trends are related in that as the atomic radius decreases across the period there is an increasing nuclear charge which is not compensated for by the the successive shells of electrons being added. This also similar down the group.

Need answer ASAP!! The specific heat capacity of metal A is twice that of metal B. Based on
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

last choice

Explanation:

Specific heat of a metal is    j/kg-c

It says nothing about melting point or heat of fusion

A = twice B   =  2 * j/kg-c       B = j/kg-c

 if   j is constant and mass is the same we can write this more like

    A = 2 /C       and    B = 1/C

  or    A ~  C/2      and   B~  C

now you can see that the temp change in A   will be 1/2   that of B
