Answer:

Along period electronegativity and ionization energy increases.

Along group electronegativity and ionization energy decreases.

Explanation:

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. Thus the attraction of the atoms for valance electrons increases. 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 and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required, and electronegativity also increases.

Along group:

As we move from top to bottom in periodic table the atomic sizes increases.The electrons are added in next energy level in every next element. Thus the valance electrons farther away from the nucleus and hold of nucleus becomes weaker, because of weak nuclear attraction atomic radii increases and electronegativity and ionization energy decreases.

Describe the particles of a solid, liquid, and gas. For each, be sure to tell how far apart they are and how fast or slowly they

Art [367]

Answer:

Solid

A solid is a state of matter where the particles are tightly packed together, they are very close together

They vibrate, they move very slowly

Liquid

A liquid has free-flowing particles, but they may not leave the container
They move at medium speed

Gas

A gas moves very freely, they leave the container, and they may not be captured in its entirety
It moves very fast because it is heated

Hope this helps :)

Which of the following does not change when a car keeps a constant speed but changes direction?

mestny [16]

An object which experiences either a change in the magnitude or the direction of the velocity vector can be said to be accelerating. This explains why an object moving in a circle at constant speed can be said to accelerate - the direction of the velocity changes.

What causes atoms to share electrons equally with atoms, but unequally share with others?

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Atoms only share electrons in covalent bonds. covalent bonds are only formed between nonmetals. there are two different types of covalent bonds; polar and nonpolar. in a polar covalent bonds electrons are shared unequally because one atom has a stronger force of attraction than the other (EX. H2O). In a nonpolar covalent bond, the electrons are shared equally because they're electronegativity is also equal (EX. Cl2).

Overall, the atoms electronegativity determines the way it shares electrons

What should you do if your bunsen burner does not light after a few tries with the striker?

poizon [28]

If the burner doesn't light after several strikes, turn the gas off at the source. Verify that you are generating sparks when striking the striker, and check that the barrel is all the way down and the needle valve is open by the specified amount. If these check out, the problem may be insufficient gas flow.
