Explain why calcium (Ca) has a greater atomic radius than magnesium (Mg).

Chemistry
1 answer:
g100num [7]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Magnesium nucleus will attract the electrons more toward it and therefore, shrinking the size of the atom. Magnesium atom is smaller than Calcium atom because Calcium has more electron ( 20e− ) which will occupy more energy levels ( n=4 for Calcium versus n=3 for Magnesium)

It takes one oxygen to combine with two hydrogen atoms to form water. What is the mass ratio of oxygen to hydrogen? 1 to 2 4 to
Rasek [7]

Answer:

8 to 1.

Explanation:

  • Oxygen combines with hydrogen atoms to form water according to the balanced equation:

<em>O₂ + 2H₂ → 2H₂O.</em>

It is clear that one mole of oxygen combines with two moles of hydrogen atoms to form 2 moles of water.

So, the molar ratio of oxygen to hydrogen is (1 to 2).

  • The mass of 1 mole of oxygen = (no. of moles)(molar mass) = (1 mol)(32.0 g/mol) = 32.0 g.
  • The mass of 2 moles of hydrogen = (no. of moles)(molar mass) = (2 mol)(2.0 g/mol) = 4.0 g.

<em>So, the mass ratio of oxygen to hydrogen (32.0 g/4.0 g) = (8: 1).</em>

Which of Newton's Three Laws is BEST described by the following statement: A ball dropped from the 10th story of a hotel had mor
Zolol [24]

Answer:

I believe the answer is Newton's Second Law

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law states that the acceleration of an object will count on how much mass and the amount of force that is applied.

The bowling ball was dropped from the 10th story window and had more force than when the ball was dropped from the 5th story window because the 10th story window gave the bowling ball more acceleration.
