Decreasing the turns of wire
An apple should be cut into 4 equal pieces, then put each slice in a separate container and label accordingly with letters A, B, C, and Control. Put water, ginger ale, and lemon juice into containers A, B, and C respectively but leave the Control untouched. Observe which of the slices in containers A, B, C will stay the same color after the one in control turns brown, if the slice maintains its color then the liquid added prevents an apple slice from browning. The variables are the liquids added and the control is the slice that did not have anything added to it.
Answer:
Option (d) is correct
N³⁻ > F⁻ > Mg²⁺ > Si⁴⁺
Explanation:
Total electrons for all the species = 10
So these are <u>iso electronic</u> with each other.
We know
Ionic radii ∝ 
- Si⁴⁺ has 14 protons and 10 electrons
- Mg²⁺ has 12 protons and 10 electrons
- N³⁻ has 7 protons and 10 electrons
- F⁻ has 9 protons and 10 electrons
- Iso electronic species with greatest number of protons have small size and vice versa.
- So Si⁺⁴ have smallest size and N³⁻ have largest in size
