What trend does the atomic radius follow along a period on the periodic

Chemistry
1 answer:
Semmy [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The atomic radius gets smaller the farther right it appears on the

periodic table.

Explanation:

Number of protons is increasing across the period so electrostatic attraction between the positive nucleus and the valence electrons increases and electrons are drawn close to the positive nucleus. This increases nuclear charge and so atomic radii gets smaller.

Also, the atomic radii size also depend on Electron - electron repulsion and shielding of the outermost valence electrons by the inner-most energy levels for the positive nucleus and number of energy levels.

Across the period, the electron-electron repulsion does not increase but there is increasing nuclear charge. The valence electrons are added to same energy level so electron shielding of the positive nucleus by the inner electrons is the same across the period.

Explain how earth plates and lithosphere are related
AnnyKZ [126]

Crust, the upper layer of the Earth, is not always the same. Crust under the oceans is only about 5 km thick while continental crust can be up to 65 km thick. Also, ocean crust is made of denser minerals than continental crust.

The tectonic plates are made up of Earth’s crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere and they extend about 80 km deep. The lithosphere is broken into giant plates that fit around the globe like puzzle pieces. These puzzle pieces move a little bit each year as they slide on top of a somewhat fluid part of the mantle called the asthenosphere. All this moving rock can cause earthquakes.

The asthenosphere is ductile and can be pushed and deformed like silly putty in response to the warmth of the Earth. These rocks actually flow, moving in response to the stresses placed upon them by the churning motions of the deep interior of the Earth. The flowing asthenosphere carries the lithosphere of the Earth, including the continents, on its back.

Why is melting ice cream a physical?
worty [1.4K]

Melting ice cream is a physical change because it is a phase change, the water in the ice cream gains thermal energy and the inter-molecular forces are overcome and the molecules move further apart forming a liquid. It is not a chemical change because no chemical reactions occurred.
