Atomic radius decrease across the period from left to right because in moving from left to right the nuclear charge increase but the number of electrons remains the same... this unusual disturbances make electrons come closer to the nucleus due to the reason that more protons are present in nucleus of atom as compared to the no of electrons . So attraction occurs between two and thus causes the atomic radius to decrease as going from left to right

Answer: decrease

Explanation:

Atomic radii is the measure of the size of its atoms, usually the mean distance from the centre of the nucleus to the boundary of the surrounding shells of electrons.

The elements in the periodic table are arranged in order of increasing atomic numbers. The horizontal rows are called as periods and vertical columns are called as groups.

The size of an atom decreases as we move across the period because the electrons get added to the same shell and the nuclear charge keeps on increasing. Thus the electrons get more tightly held by the nucleus.

As, the valence electrons come near to the nucleus due to the increased attraction between the nucleus and the shared pair of electrons.

Thus atomic radius decrease from left to right across a period in the periodic table.

Explain in terns of atomic structure why barium has a lower first ionization energy than magnesium.
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Barium has a greater radius than magnesium

Explanation:

Barium and magnesium are two elements which belong to the same group, group 2A. This means that the two elements have two valence electrons in their outer shell.

The difference is, however, since barium is lower in group than magnesium, it has more electron shells than magnesium and, therefore, its radius is greater. The attraction force between the nucleus and the valence electrons in barium is lower as a result, as force is inversely proportional to distance. Hence, a lower amount of energy is required to remove the valence electrons from barium.

When two atoms are bonded and have a large difference in electronegativity:<br> HELP PLEASEEE
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Second option - The bond is very polar

Explanation:

Electronegativity of an basically refers to the degree at which an electron is able to attract electrons to itself.

There are different types of bonds between atoms, depending on the electronegativity of the atoms.

When there is a large difference in electronegativity, it pretty much means that one atom would draw electrons more than the other. When this happens, the bond is said to be polar because there is uneven distribution of the charges.

The second option is the correct answer in thus question.

0.030 moles of a weak acid, HA, was dissolved in 2.0 L of water to form a solution. At equilibrium, the concentration of HA was
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer: The value of k_{a} for the weak acid is 3.07 \times 10^{-4}.

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the molarity of HA as follows.

     [HA] = \frac{\text{no. of moles}}{\text{volume}}

             = \frac{0.03 mol}{2 L}

             = 0.015

At equilibrium,

              HA + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons H_{3}O^{+} + A^{-}

Initial:   0.015                  0          0

Change:  -x                     +x         +x

Equilibm: 0.015 - x          x           x

It is given that, at equilibrium

          [HA] = 0.015 - x = 0.013

             - x = 0.013 - 0.015

                  = 0.002

Now, expression for k_{a} of this reaction is as follows.

          k_{a} = \frac{[A^{-}][H_{3}O^{+}]}{[HA]}

                      = \frac{x^{2}}{[HA]}

                      = \frac{(0.002)^{2}}{0.013}

                      = 3.07 \times 10^{-4}

Thus, we can conclude that the value of k_{a} for the weak acid is 3.07 \times 10^{-4}.
