Answer:

Ionic size increases from top to bottom within the group.

Explanation:

  • Ions are formed when neutral atoms of elements gain or lose electron(s).
  • The ionic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an ion to the outermost energy level.
  • The ionic size or radius increases down the group as the number of energy level increases.
  • Therefore, an ion of an element lower in the group will be larger than the ion of an element higher in the group.
  • For example, an ion of potassium, K+, is larger in size compared to the ion of sodium, Na+ since K+ has more energy levels than Na+.

Answer:

Option B = ionic sizes increases from top to bottom.

Explanation:

Definition of atomic radii:

The atomic radius is the distance between center of two bonded atoms.

Cation:

When an atom lose the electrons the formed is called cation.

e.g Na⁺ sodium lose one electron and form cation.

Anion:

when an atom gain the electrons the ions formed is called anion.

e.g N³⁻

Trend along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase.The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases. Same is the case with ions. Ionic size decreases moving from left to right.

Trend along group:

In group by addition of electron atomic radii increase from top to bottom due to increase in atomic number and addition of extra shell. The ionic size also increases from top to bottom.

If we compare the cationic and anionic size with neutral atomic radii, the anionic size is greater than neutral atomic radii because of addition of extra shell while cationic size is smaller because of removal of one electronic shell.

How many core electrons are in a ground state atom of selenium?
Harman [31]
Electrons in an atom can be classified as core electrons and valence electrons. Valence electrons are those electrons which are present in valence shell and participates in bond formation. While, Core electrons are all remaining electrons which are not present in valence shell, hence not take part in bonding.

Atomic number of Selenium (Se) is 34 hence it has 34 electrons with following electronic configuration;

                          1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁴

From electronic configuration it is found that the valence shell is 4, and the number of electrons present in valence shell are 6. So, 

             Core Electrons  =  Total Electrons - Valence Electrons

             Core Electrons  =  34 - 6

             Core Electrons  =  28

Result:
          There are 28 core electrons in Selenium.

Hydrogen gas explosive within range of 4%-75% v/v. Assuming that each student in your class produces 6 L of H2 and that the lab
SpyIntel [72]
To determine whether the amount of H2 in the lab is dangerous, we first need to know how much hydrogen gas is present in the room in units of percent by volume. For this particular problem, we cannot exactly determine since we do not know the total volume of the room. Hope this answers the question.

What is the change in internal energy ( ΔU ) of the system if q = –8 kJ and w = –1 kJ for a certain process?
Radda [10]

Answer:

Change in internal energy (ΔU) = -9 KJ

Explanation:

Given:

q = –8 kJ [Heat removed]

w = –1 kJ [Work done]

Find:

Change in internal energy (ΔU)

Computation:

Change in internal energy (ΔU) = q + w

Change in internal energy (ΔU) = -8 KJ + (-1 KJ)

Change in internal energy (ΔU) = -8 KJ - 1 KJ

Change in internal energy (ΔU) = -9 KJ

Which one(s) below right about valence electrons?
grandymaker [24]
Answer choice A, B, and C is right about the valence electrons. For answer choice D and E, Would in it be a more of an element kind of choice. whether the element is closer to the left side of the periodic table or not determines the high and low energy.
