Answer: Electronegativity increases as the size of an atom decrease.

Explanation: Electronegativity is the measure of the ability of an atom in a bond to attract electrons to itself.

Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group.

Towards the left of the table, valence shells are less than half full, so these atoms (metals) tend

to lose electrons and have low electronegativity. Towards the right of the table, valence shells are more than half full, so these atoms (nonmetals) tend to gain electrons and have high electronegativity.

Down a group, the number of energy levels (n) increases, and so does the distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital. The increased distance and the increased shielding weaken the nuclear attraction, and so an atom can’t attract electrons as strongly.

How do researchers select a sample that is representative of its population
tiny-mole [99]

Explanation:

Using stratified random sampling, researchers must identify characteristics, divide the population into strata, and proportionally choose individuals for the representative sample. ... For example, individuals who are too busy to participate will be under-represented in the representative sample.

Count the total number of atoms in sio2:
grigory [225]
Atoms are the basic units of matter and the defining structure of elements. We count the number of atoms by the total number of elements present in the compound. In this case, we have 1 atom of Si and 2 atoms of oxygen which would have 3 total number of atoms.
