An ion of sulfur has a smaller atomic radius than a neutral atom of sulfur because it loses an electron when becoming an ion.

Answer is FALSE. Because sulfur has no tendency to loss an electron, since its electronic configuration is 16, it always want to gain 2 electron to form S^2-, following octet rule.

The answer would be yes if it can lose an electron(because when an atom loses an electron it form cation whose nuclear charge remain as same as neutral atom but number of electron decreases. As a result the nuclear charge has to act on a fewer number of electron and hence there will be more attraction between the nuclear charge and outermost electrons resulting in decrease in size) but it is not possible in case of sulfur.

Which statement is true about intermolecular forces?
seropon [69]

Answer:

Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction or repulsion which act between neighboring particles (atoms, molecules, or ions ). These forces are weak compared to the intramolecular forces, such as the covalent or ionic bonds between atoms in a molecule.

Importance:

Intermolecular forces are important because they determine the physical properties of substances. Many of the life-sustaining properties of water such as its high heat capacity are a result of the hydrogen bonding capabilities it has and are thus due to intermolecular forces.

0.415 g of an unknown triprotic acid are used to make a 100.00 mL solution. Then 25.00 mL of this solution is transferred to an
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial burette reading = 1.81 mL

final burette reading = 39.7 mL

volume of NaOH used = 39.7 - 1.81 = 37.89 mL .  

37.89 mL of .1029 M NaOH is used to neutralise triprotic acid

No of moles contained by 37.89 mL of .1029 M NaOH

= .03789 x .1029 moles

= 3.89 x 10⁻³ moles

Since acid is triprotic ,  its equivalent weight = molecular weight / 3

No of moles of triprotic acid = 3.89 x 10⁻³ / 3

= 1.30   x 10⁻³ moles .
