Why does an atom of sodium have a larger atomic radius than an atom of chlorine?

Chemistry
1 answer:
rodikova [14]2 years ago

Even though sodium and chlorine belong to the same period, Sodium has a larger atomic radius than chlorine.  This is because of the difference in the number of electrons on the valence shell.  Because chlorine has seven valence electrons then these electrons are more tightly held by the nucleus than in the case of Sodium which only has one electron on the  last shell thus the valence shell is loosely held by the nucleus.

XH_{3}
H has a positive 1 charge. This means that having 3H = +3<span>.  This is a neutral compound so x= -3 because X+3H= 0

Y</span>X_{2} is also neutral so 2X+Y= 0
we know X=-3 So, 2(-3)+Y=0
-6+y=0
Y=+6 charge

 
Answer: The valency of X is -3. The valency of Y is 6

If the equilibrium constant of the reaction is 0.85, then which statement is true if the mass of A is 10.5 grams; the density of
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

E. Q < K and reaction shifts right

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

A(s) + 3 B(l) ⇄ 2(aq) + D(aq)

Step 2: Calculate the reaction quotient (Q)

The reaction quotient, as the equilibrium constant (K), only includes aqueous and gaseous species.

Q = [C]² × [D]

Q = 0.64² × 0.38

Q = 0.15

Step 3: Compare Q with K and determine in which direction will shift the reaction

Since Q < K, the reaction will shift to the right to attain the equilibrium.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

30.8 g of water are produced

Explanation:

First of all we need the equation for the production of water:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

2 moles of hydrogen react with 1 mol of oxygen in order to produce 2 moles of water.

As we assume, the oxygen in excess, we determine the moles of H₂.

1.03ₓ10²⁴ molecules . 1 mol/ 6.02ₓ10²³ molecules = 1.71 moles

Ratio is 2:2, so 1.71 moles will produce 1.71 moles of water

Let's convert the moles to mass: 1.71 mol . 18g / 1mol = 30.8 g of water are produced
