Trends in atomic radius of Period 3 elements

Chemistry
1 answer:
serious [3.7K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Here's what I find  

Explanation:

A. Period or Group?

Na Mg Al Si

These elements are in Period 3.

B. Trend in atomic radius

\begin{array}{ccc}\textbf{Atom} &\textbf{At. No.} &\textbf{r/nm }\\\text{Na} & 11& 0.19 \\\text{Mg} & 12 & 0.14 \\\text{Al} & 13 & 0.12 \\\text{Si} & 14 & 0.11 \\\end{array}

The graph below shows that the atomic radius decreases as the atomic number increases, that is, as you go from left to right across the Period.

C. Explanation

As you go from left to right across a Period, you are adding electrons to the n = 3 shell. The electrons repel each other, so the atoms tend to increase in size.

However, you are also adding protons to the nucleus, so the attraction between the protons and the electrons increases. Each added electron can shield only about 0.3 of a proton's charge, so the nuclear attraction wins out and the atomic radius decreases.

Carbon and oxygen combine to form carbon dioxide. What are the products, or what is the product, in this chemical reaction?
VladimirAG [237]

The product in this chemical reaction is Carbon Dioxide or CO2.

This is because it states, "To form," which means that it was produced from the reactants Carbon and Oxygen.

To know what the products are in a statement rather than an equation, words such as produced and formed are used.

Hope this helps!

(((NEED ANSWER QUICK!!!)))<br><br> Which is the stronger conjugate base, CN- or OCN-? Explain
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

The stronger conjugate base will be the weaker acid; i.e., the acid with the smaller Ka-value.

Explanation:

Given conjugate base CN⁻ => weak acid => HCN =>  Ka =4.9 x 10⁻¹⁰

Given conjugate base OCN⁻ => weak acid=> HOCN => Ka = 3.5 x 10⁻⁴

Ka(HCN) << Ka(HOCN) => CN⁻ is a much stronger conjugate base than OCN⁻
