Which one is a true statement about endothermic reactions? A. I need you from an outside source is continuously being added. B.
tekilochka [14]
Correct answer: "A. Energy from an outside source is continuously being added."
An endothermic reaction is a reaction that is characterised by the system absorbing energy from its surroundings. That energy is usually in heat form. For example, when mixing water<span> with potassium chloride, this reaction will absorb heat and the container will feel cold - endothermic reaction.</span>

In the third period of the periodic table sodium is followed by magnesium aluminum silicon and phosphorus which of these element
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
</span><span>
Aluminium           0.130 nm
</span><span>
Silicon                  0.118 nm
</span><span>
Phosphorus         <span>0.110 nm</span></span></span>
