Answer:

It has fewer electron shells

Explanation:

Cesium is a metal and metals tend to lose their valence electrons to become positively charged cations. Loss of valence electrons in a metal also results in the loss of the total valence shell. Therefore, when cesium loses its valence electron, it also loses the whole outer shell which consequently leads to a decrease in radius.

Therefore, we may conclude that for a fewer electron shells, we would expect to have a smaller radius.

Write the limiting forms (or Canonical forms) of the following ions:
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Canonical structures of a chemical specie explain its observed properties from a valence bond theory perspective.

Explanation:

Resonance is a valence bond concept introduced by Linus Pauling to explain the observed properties of certain chemical species such as bond lengths, bond angles, bond order , etc.

There are certain chemical species for which a single chemical structure does not suffice in explaining its observed properties. For instance, the bond order in CO3^2- is about 1.33. Its bond length, shows that the C-O bond present in CO3^2- is neither a pure C-O single bond nor a pure C-O double bond. Hence the structure of CO3^2- is 'somewhere in between' three contributing canonical structures as shown in the image attached to this answer. The resonance structures of NO3^- are also shown.

What characteristics are shared by all alkali metals and alkaline earth metals?
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

All alkali and alkaline earth metals dissolves in water to form alkaline solutions.

Explanation:

The alkali metals are found in group one of the periodic table while the alkaline earth metals are found in group 2. These two groups of elements are quite reactive and they react very well with air and water. All the elements in the two groups react with water to give rise to alkaline solutions; solutions whose pH range from 8 to 14.
