Answer:

a. Sn or Si ⇒ Sn

b. Br or Ga ⇒ Ga

c. Sn or Bi ⇒ similar in size

d. Se or Sn ⇒ Sn

Explanation:

The larger atom has a larger atomic radius. We have to consider how varies the atomic radius for chemical elements in the Periodic Table. In a group (column), the atomic radius increases from top to bottom while in a period (file), it increases from right to left.

a. Sn or Si ⇒ Sn

They are in the <u>same group</u>. Sn is on the top, so it has a larger atomic radius.

b. Br or Ga ⇒ Ga

They are in the <u>same period</u>. Ga is located at the left so it has a larger atomic radius.

c. Sn or Bi ⇒ similar

They are not in the same group neither the same period. Bi is located more at the bottom, so it would be larger than Sn, but Bi is also at the right side, so it would be smaller than Bi. Thus, they have comparable sizes.

d. Se or Sn⇒ Sn

They are not in the same group neither the same period. Se is located at the top and right side compared to Sn, so Sn is the larger atom.

Blood samples for research or medical tests sometimes have heparin added. Why is this done? ​
alina1380 [7]
It is essential for accurate results that the correct volume of blood is sampled to achieve a correct concentration (and dilution, if liquid heparin is used), and that blood and anticoagulant are well mixed immediately after sampling.

Draw the structure of 4-methyl-5-oxohexanal.
aniked [119]

Answer:

Explanation:

The structural formula provides more information which is often used to represent a particular organic substance. A structural formula indicates how the atoms are arranged within the molecule of a substance. From the information, the structure of  4-methyl-5-oxohexanal is represented by using a stick formula where the methyl group falls into position 4 and oxygen group falls into position 5 on the hexanal compound.

The structure is provided in the image attached below for better understanding.

Which of these is an isoelectronic series? question 7 options: 1) na+, k+, rb+, cs+ 2) k+, ca2+, ar, s2– 3) na+, mg2+, s2–, cl–
-BARSIC- [3]
An isoelectronic series is where all of the ions listed have the same number of electrons in their atoms. When an atom has net charge of zero or neutral, it has equal number of protons and electrons. Hence, it means that the atomic number = no. of protons = no. of electrons. If these atoms become ions, they gain a net charge of + or -. Positive ions are cations. This means that they readily GIVE UP electrons, whereas negative ions (anions) readily ACCEPT electrons. So, to know which of these are isoelectronic, let's establish first the number of electron in a neutral atom from the periodic table:

Na=11; K=19; Rb=37; Cs = 55; Ca=20; S=16; Mg=12; Li=3; Be=4; B=5; C=6, Ar = 18

A. Na⁺: 11-1 = 10 electrons
     K⁺: 19 - 1 = 18 electrons
     Rb⁺: 37-1 = 36 electrons

B. K⁺: 19 - 1 = 18 electrons
    Ca²⁺: 20 - 2 = 18 electrons
    Ar:  18 electrons
    S²⁻:  16 +2 = 18 electrons

C. Na⁺: 11-1 = 10 electrons
    Mg²⁺: 12 - 2 = 10 electrons
     S²⁻:  16 +2 = 18 electrons

D. Li=3 electrons
    Be=4 electrons
    B=5 electrons
    C=6 electrons

The answer is letter B.
