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.
Answer:
The Supreme Court of Appeal
Explanation:
The Supreme Court of Appeal is based in Bloemfontein in the Free State. Except for the Constitutional Court, it is the highest court in South Africa and it only deals with cases sent to it from the High Court.
(2) Mg, Ca, and Ba have the most similar chemical properties, and we know this because of their coexistence in the group alkali earth metals (group 2) on the periodic table.
Answer:
<em>The correct option is D) a motile eukaryote</em>
Explanation:
Peroxisomes are structures which are present only in the plant or animal cells. Hence, based on this observation we can easily tell that the organism which is newly discovered is a eukaryote. Both plants and animals are eukaryotes.
Flagella are structures which are thin and hair shaped. Flagella allow movement of a cell, mostly they allow a whip-like movement. Based on this observation we will conclude that the organism discovered is a motile eukaryote.
