Answer:
Explanation:
The atomic radius of elements are used to estimate the sizes of elements. The atomic radius is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance between two nuclei in the solid state of metals.
To solve this problem we will obtain the atomic radius values of the given elements from a standard atomic radius table;
Si 111 pm
P 98 pm
Cl 79 pm
S 87pm
pm = picometer
We see that chlorine has the least atomic radius
Adding the number of protons by the number of neutrons
Answer:
Its pH value increases.
Explanation:
pH is the measure of alkalinity or acidity of a compound.
pH = - log [H+]
and pH + pOH = 14
where pOH is the measure of basicity of a solution, given by -log[OH-]
As a solution gets more basic that is higher [OH-], the pH increases, and on the other hand, as the pH of a solution decreases by one pH unit, the concentration of H+ increases by ten times.
