<h2>Answer:</h2>

The decrease in entropy is caused when the product of a reaction has lesser disorder than that of reactant.  

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As we know that the entropy is the measure of system's disorder, the entropy in solid is less than that of liquid and gases. Gases have highest entropy. The thermodynamics, the second law is based on entropy which defines that in spontaneous reaction, there is always increase in the entropy.

If the reactants are undergoing a chemical reaction to produce a product that has lesser disorder, then there is decrease in entropy. For example, if two gases react to form a solid, then there will be decrease in entropy.

Predict the formula of the ionic compound that would result from combining the monatomic ions formed by each pair of elements. M
skad [1K]

Answer:

E - Be and O

A - Mg and N

E - Li and Br

F - Ba and Cl

B - Rb and O

Explanation:

Be and O

Be is a metal that loses 2 e⁻ to form Be²⁺ and O is a nonmetal that gains 2 e⁻ to form O²⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form BeO (E-MX).

Mg and N

Mg is a metal that loses 2 e⁻ to form Mg²⁺ and N is a nonmetal that gains 3 e⁻ to form O³⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form Mg₃N₂ (A-M₃X₂).

Li and Br

Li is a metal that loses 1 e⁻ to form Li⁺ and Br is a nonmetal that gains 1 e⁻ to form Br⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form LiBr (E-MX).

Ba and Cl

Ba is a metal that loses 2 e⁻ to form Ba²⁺ and Cl is a nonmetal that gains 1 e⁻ to form Cl⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form BaCl₂ (F-MX₂).

Rb and O

Rb is a metal that loses 1 e⁻ to form Rb⁺ and O is a nonmetal that gains 2 e⁻ to form O²⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form Rb₂O (B-M₂X).

wariber [46]
Answer:
            Phosphorous has the smallest atomic size.

Explanation:
                   As we know these elements belong to same period means there valence shell is the same. So moving from left to right along the period the shell number remains constant but the number of protons and electrons increases. So, due to increase in number of protons the nuclear charge increases hence attracts the valence electrons more effectively resulting in the decrease of atomic size.

Elements and their atomic radius are as follow,

<span><span>Magnesium          0.160 nm

Aluminium           0.130 nm

Phosphorus         <span>0.110 nm</span></span></span>
