Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.

Atomic number of beryllium is 4 and its electronic distribution is 2, 2. This means there are only two shells of electrons.

Whereas atomic number of sodium is 11 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 1.  This means there are three shells of electrons.

Also there is one more valence electron in sodium as compared to beryllium.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options the element X is sodium (Na).

Which of the following is not conserved in a chemical reaction?

Mass is not conserved in chemical reactions. Mass is therefore never conserved because a little of it turns into energy in every reaction

evablogger [386]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

Yttrium has many isotopes, the lowest mass number of Yttrium  is 89Y.

Recall that electron capture converts an electron into a proton and then into a neutron with a consequent emission of a neutrino (v).

In electron capture, the mass number of the daughter nucleus remains the same as that of the parent nucleus while the atomic number of the daughter nucleus is less than that of the parent by one unit.

Use the information below to explain why the atomic radius decreases down a group.
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Detail is given below

Explanation:

Atomic radii trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.

In A we can see that there is one positive charge and force of attraction is 2.30×10⁻⁸ N and distance is 0.10 nm

In B we can see that negative charge is further away from nucleus because of greater distance thus force of attraction will be less. 0.58×10⁻⁸ N

In C this distance further increases and force also goes in decreasing 0.26×10⁻⁸ N.
