A cation that has a smaller radius than the atom.
omeli [17]4 years ago
4 0

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a neutral atom gain electrons then it acquires a negative charge whereas when an atom loses electrons then it acquires a positive charge.

For example, atomic number of calcium is 20 and in order to attain stability it loses two electrons and thus its forms Ca^{2+} ion.

Thus, there will be decrease in the size of its radius due to loss of electrons.

Therefore, we can conclude that when electrons are removed from the outermost shell of a calcium atom, the atom becomes a cation that has a smaller radius than the atom.

The relationship between moles and volume, when pressure and temperature of a gas are held constant, is: V/n =
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

If the moles of gas are tripled, the volume must also triple.

Explanation:

According to Avogadro law,

Equal volume of all the gases at same temperature and pressure have equal number of molecules.

The number of moles and volume are directly related to each other. By increasing the number of moles volume also goes to increase with same ratio.

When number of moles decreases the volume also goes to decrease at constant temperature and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V ∝ n

V = Kn

V/n = k

When volume is changed from V₁ to V₂ by changing the number of moles from n₁ to n₂. Then expression will be,

V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂

What is Equilibrium? I’m a little confused on the topic. You’ll get a lot of points if you answer I think.
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

to put it simply, equilibrium is when two opposing forces balance each other out. one example is boats: you know how the bottom half is curved, and then meets at an edge? they design it like that because of water displacement. by gravity, the water wants to go back to the area taken by the boats mass (the parts where it has sunken into the water), thus preventing the boat from sinking. once the boat is removed, the water returns to the space. most liquids take form of their container.

A graduated cylinder is filled with 60.0 ml of water. A cube, made of aluminum, is carefully dropped into the cylinder. Aluminum
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

65 ml

Explanation:

The aluminum will not float , so it will displace a volume of fluid equal to its volume.

 13.5 gm / 2.7 gm/ml = 5 ml

the new graduated cylinder measurement will be 60 + 5 = 65 ml
