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.

What are the lanthanide & actinide series?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

 

The lanthanides and actinides together are sometimes called the inner transition elements.

Explanation:

They are called this because they come up in the periodic table after actinium

Hope this helps :)

Define: Atomic Mass, Mass Number, Isotope
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.

the total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.

to write the symbol for an isotope, place the atomic number as a subscript and the mass number (protons plus neutrons) as a superscript to the left of the atomic symbol

A proton is fired toward a lead nucleus from very far away. How much initial kinetic energy does the proton need to reach a turn
Olegator [25]

Answer:

The electric force is conservative.

Since

ΔK = −ΔU,

Kf − Ki =Ui −Uf.

We have,

Kf = 0

Ui = 0.

Thus Ki =Uf.

<u>so ,at 10 fm Uf = (2×10)−12 J.</u>

compared to the energy released per mole of reactant during chemical reactions the energy released per mole of reactant during n
Zolol [24]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{Roughly a million times greater}}.

Explanation:

For example, the energy released in burning 1 mol of octane, a component of gasoline, is about 5000 kJ.

The energy released in the fission of 1 mol of uranium-235 is

about 1.5 × 10¹⁰ kJ .

The ratio is  

\dfrac{1.5 \times 10^{10} }{5000} \approx 3 \times 10^{6}\\\\\text{The energy released by nuclear reactions is } \boxed{\textbf{roughly a million times greater}}\\\text{ than that released during chemical reactions.}
