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

Chemistry
1 answer:
rodikova [14]2 years ago
3 0
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.

On the reaction below, label the BSA, BSB, CA, and CB. CH3COOH + H2O → CH3COO– + H3O+
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Acid(BSA) = CH₃COOH

Base (BSB) = H₂O

Conjugate base (CB) = CH₃COO⁻

Conjugate acid (CA) = H₃O⁺

Explanation:

Equation of reaction;

CH₃COOH + H₂O → CH₃COO⁻ + H₃O⁺

Hello,

From my understanding of the question, we are required to identify the

1) Acid

2) Base

3) conjugate acid

4) conjugate base in the reaction

Acid (BSA) = CH₃COOH

Base (BSB) = H₂O

CA = conjugate acid = H₃O⁺

CB = conjugate base = CH₃COO⁻

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Magnesium and calcium belong to the second group i. e. alkaline earth metals. They are known as earth metals because they are extracted from the earth. They are very reactive elements. Their reactivity increases when we go from top to bottom because the outermost electrons goes farther from the nucleus i. e. atomic radius increases so less energy is needed for its removal.

Calculate the mass of khc8h4o4 that reacts with 15 ml of the naoh solution
dlinn [17]
The balanced chemical reaction would be:

 KHC8H4O4<span> (aq) + </span>NaOH<span> (aq) → NaKC8H4O4 (aq) + H2O.

The concentration of the NaOH is equal 0.1 M. We use this and the volume given above to determine the mass of KH</span>C8H4O4. We do as follows:

0.1 mol / L NaOH (.015 L) ( 1 mol KHC8H4O4 / 1 mol NaOH) (204 g / 1 mol) = 0.306 g KHC8H4O4
