Answer:

Detail is given below.

Explanation:

Atomic radius  trend along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons increases. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.

we can see in picture A there is one positive charge and force of attraction is 2.30×10⁻⁸ N

In picture D there are 2 positive charge and force of attraction is 4.60×10⁻⁸ N

So by increasing the positive charge force of attraction also increases.

In F we can see there is more positive charge thus force of attraction is also greater.

What substance has a melting point of 0 and a boiling point of 100
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Water

Explanation:

Water molecules are known to have a melting point of 0°C and a boiling point of 100°C.

The melting and boiling points are as a result of the intermolecular force of attraction between the molecules of water. The predominant bond type that dictates the property of the melting and boiling point is the hydrogen bonding. This bond is a strong force of attraction and it impacts on the physical properties of water.

One isotope of oxygen has 8 protons and 10 neutrons. Which is the correct reference for this isotope? A. oxygen-18 B. oxygen-2 C
hammer [34]
A. Oxygen-18 is the correct reference for this isotope. As this notation requires the name of the element followed by a dash and the mass number of that corresponding element. The mass number is obtained by adding the number of protons and neutrons together as in this example.

What reagent is <br>used to test for starch<br>​
Elodia [21]

Answer:

iodine

Explanation:

In the presence of starch, iodine turns a blue/black colour. It is possible to distinguish starch from glucose (and other carbohydrates) using this iodine solution test. For example, if iodine is added to a peeled potato then it will turn black. Benedict's reagent can be used to test for glucose.
