Rank the following elements by increasing atomic radius: Carbon, aluminum, oxygen, potassium.
Aloiza [94]

Answer

The elements in increasing order of atomic radius: oxygen, carbon, aluminum, potassium

Explanation:

The distance from the center of the nucleus to the outermost shell of the electron is known as the atomic radius of an element. The atomic radius decreases rightward along each period (row) of the table due to the increase in effective nuclear charge (the charge of the nucleus equal to the number of protons). Across a period, electrons are added to the same energy level and the increasing number of protons causes the nucleus to exert more pull on these electrons, which makes the atomic radius smaller.  Atomic radius increases down each group (column) of the periodic table because of the addition of electrons to higher energy levels, which are further away from the nucleus and the pull of nucleus weakens. Another reason for the increase in atomic radius is the electron shielding effect, which is the reduction of the attractive force between a nucleus and its outer electrons due to the blocking effect of inner electrons

While moving from left to right in the second period, c arbon comes before  oxygen  and so oxygen will have a smaller atomic radius than  carbon. While moving down the periodic table, al uminum comes before  potassium even if they are not in the same period. So aluminum 's atomic radius will be smaller than that of  potassium  but bigger than that of  carbon  and  oxygen.

(hope that helps can i plz have brainlist it will make my day :D hehe)

From the addition of water to the molecule of an alkene is obtained a product containing 21.6% O2. Write the addition reaction.
klemol [59]

Addition reaction between water molecules and alkene molecules produces alcohol.

<h3>What is addition reaction?</h3>

Addition reaction generally takes place across the unsaturated carbon compounds.

When water molecule (H₂O) is added to the alkene which may be ethene (C₂H₄) molecule then formation of product i.e. ethanol (CH₃CH₂OH) takes place through the addition of hydrogen and hydroxyl group across the double bond. And reaction is shown in the attached image.

Hence formation of alcohol product takes place.

The side chain of histidine has a pKa of about 6. What percent of histidine side chains would be deprotonated at pH 7.5
Setler [38]

The percent of histidine side chains would be deprotonated at pH 7.5  is 5.77 %.

<h3>What is pKa?</h3>

The term pKa refers to the negative logarithm of the acid dissociation constant (Ka). The pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration.

Hence;

Ka = Antilog (-6) =1 * 10^-6

[H^+] = Antilog (-7.5) = 3 * 10^-8 M

We now have to use the formula;

α = \sqrt{} \frac{Ka}{[H^+] }

α = \sqrt{} \frac{ 1 *10^-6}{3 *10^-8  }

α = 5.77 %

Hence, the percent of histidine side chains would be deprotonated at pH 7.5  is 5.77 %.
