Answer:

True

Explanation:

Atomic radius can be defined as a measure of the size (distance) of the atom of a chemical element such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen etc, typically from the nucleus to the valence electrons. The atomic radius of a chemical element decreases across the periodic table, typically from alkali metals (group one elements such as hydrogen, lithium and sodium) to noble gases (group eight elements such as argon, helium and neon). Also, the atomic radius of a chemical element increases down each group of the periodic table, typically from top to bottom (column).

Hence, the atomic radius of phosphorus is smaller than the atomic radius of magnesium. Basically, the atomic radius of phosphorus is 98 pm while the atomic radius of magnesium is 145 pm.

The Goodyear blimp contains 5.7 x 10^6 L of helium at 25 degrees Celsius and 1 atm. What is the mass in grams of the helium insi

anygoal [31]

Answer:

1.72x10⁻⁵ g

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the PV=nRT equation, where:

P = 1 atm

V = 5.7x10⁶ L

n = ?

R = 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹

T = 25 °C ⇒ (25+273.16) = 298.16 K

And we solve for n:

1 atm * 5.7x10⁶ L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 298.16 K

n = 4.29x10⁻⁶ mol

Finally we convert moles of helium to grams, using its molar mass:

4.29x10⁻⁶ mol * 4 g/mol = 1.72x10⁻⁵ g

What 4 elements whose isotopes have a half-life of more than one year?

Oliga [24]

Bismuth-209 (209Bi) is the isotope of bismuth with the longest known half-life of any radioisotope that undergoes α-decay (alpha decay). It has 83 protons and a magic number of 126 neutrons, and an atomic mass of 208.9803987 amu (atomic mass units). Of the first 82 elements in the periodic table, 80 have isotopes considered to be stable.[1] The 83rd element, bismuth, was traditionally regarded as having the heaviest stable isotope, bismuth-209, but in 2003 researchers in Orsay, France, measured the half-life of 209
Bi
to be 1.9×1019 years.[2][3] Technetium and promethium (atomic numbers 43 and 61, respectively[a]) and all the elements with an atomic number over 82 only have isotopes that are known to decompose through radioactive decay. No undiscovered elements are expected to be stable; therefore, lead is considered the heaviest stable element. However, it is possible that some isotopes that are now considered stable will be revealed to decay with extremely long half-lives (as with 209
Bi
). This list depicts what is agreed upon by the consensus of the scientific community as of 2019.

Explanation:

It is known that density is mass of a substance divided by its volume.

Mathematically, Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$
