We have to get the relationship between metallic character and atomic radius.

Metallic character increases with increase in atomic radius and decrease with decrease of atomic radius.

If electrons from outermost shell of an element can be removed easily, that atom can be considered to have more metallic character.

With increase in atomic radius, nuclear force of attraction towards outermost shell electron decreases which facilitates the release of electron.

With decrease in atomic radius, nuclear force of attraction towards outermost shell electrons increases, so electrons are hold tightly to nucleus. Hence, removal of electron from outermost shell becomes difficult making the atom less metallic in nature.

Does the model below represent a mixture or a substance ?

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

substance

Explanation:

A mixture is when two or more different atoms/molecules are together, but not joined.

A substance is when the same atom/molecule is in a group together.

In this example, it is a substance because it is comprised of the same molecule not joined all together. If you wanted a mixture, other colored atoms/molecule (e.g. add green atoms) would change it to this property.

2 NaCL + CaO = CaCL2 + Na2O

Naily [24]

222 grams of calcium chloride is produced.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The mole concept and the chemical equation are very much closely related with each other. In the chemical reaction, the compounds or elements in both sides are balanced according to the number of atoms of each side of the reaction. So from there we can easily find the amount of reactant reacts to produce desired product.

Here we can see that 2 moles of sodium chloride produces 1 mole of calcium chloride.

So, 4 moles of sodium chloride will produce 2 moles of calcium chloride.

Now, atomic weight of calcium =40.

Atomic weight of chlorine =35.5.

So,the molecular weight of calcium chloride = $40+ 35.5\times2$

=111.

It means, 1 mole of calcium chloride weighs 111 grams.

So 2 moles of calcium chloride weighs $111\times2$ grams = 222 grams.

Plete the following problems significant figures: 6 × 0.30

jeka57 [31]

6= Only the digits 1 and 6 are the actual measured values. Therefore we have only 2 significant figures.

0.3= Zeros used as placeholders are not significant. Zeros that come before non-zero integers are never significant. Example 5: The zeros in 098, 0.3, and 0.000000000389 are not significant because they are all in front of non-zero integers. c. If the zeros come after non-zero integers and are followed by a decimal point, the zeros are significant.
