Answer:

K+ < Cl- < S2- < P3-.

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of K is 2,8,8,1. So,K has 19 electrons.Hence,K+ will have 18 electrons.

Similarly,electronic configuration of P is 2,8,5. So,P has 15 electrons.Hence,P^3- will have 18 electrons .

Similarly,electronic configuration of S is 2,8,6. So, S has 16 electrons. Hence,S^2- will have 18 electrons.

Similarly,electronic configuration of Cl is 2,8,7. So,Cl has 17 electrons.Hence,Cl^ 1- will have 18 electrons .

As,all of these species are isoelectronic, so the smallest radius among these will be of that which possesses more amount of +ve charge on it.The reason is that a species having +ve charge on it will be effectively able to attract the outermost valence electrons to the nucleus.

Hence,the order of increasing order of radii is as follows:

K+ < Cl- < S2- < P3-.

Methane reacts with oxygen in the following combustion reaction.
Natali5045456 [20]

The methane molecule undergoes oxidation and the carbon is oxidized to carbon dioxide and hydrogen to water.

In this reaction there is cleavage of four C-H bonds and two O=O bonds

there will be formation of two C=O bonds and four O-H bonds.

Overall due to more bond cleavage energy there will be evolution of energy. thus combustion is an exothermic reaction.

Consider a mixture of oil and water. What terms would you use to describe this mixture? Check all that apply. Heterogeneous homo
GenaCL600 [577]

A mixture of oil and water is:

Heterogeneous

immiscible

<h3>What type of mixture of oil and water is?</h3>

The water molecules attract each other, and the oil molecules stick together. That causes oil and water to form two separate layers. Water molecules pack closer together, so they sink to the bottom, leaving oil sitting on top of the water. The mixture can be called as Emulsion. It is an immiscible liquid and the mixture is heterogeneous as oil floats on top of water surface but do not mix with it.

Thus, correct options are Heterogeneous and immiscible.
