what happens to the radius of the atoms of an element as you go towards the right in a row of the periodic table ?

Chemistry

Answer:

It decreases

Explanation:

As one moves from left to right on the periodic table, the radius of atoms reduces due to the nuclear pull.

  • The size of an atom estimated by the atomic radius is taken as half of the internuclear distance between the two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements.
  • Across a period, atomic radius decreases progressively from left to right.
  • This is due to the increasing nuclear charge without attendant increase in the number of electronic shell.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Explanation:

It is known that in a simple cubic unit cell the atoms are only present at the corner of the unit cell. This means that there are in total 8 atoms present in a simple cubic unit cell.

Therefore, in one simple cubic unit cell sharing of one atom is only \frac{1}{8}.

Hence, the total number of atoms in a unit cell will be as follows.

            8 \times \frac{1}{8} = 1

Thus, we can conclude that there is 1 calcium atom present in each unit cell.

Predict the reactivity of silicon in water relative to that of sodium, magnesium, and aluminium. Explain your answer. How does t
Inessa [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reactivity of metals has a lot to do with their position in the electrochemical series. However, it is also known that metallic character decreases across the period. This implies that as we move from left to right along the periodic table. Sodium, magnesium, aluminum and silicon continues to decrease in metallic character. As a matter of fact, silicon is a metalloid and not a pure metal.

Sodium reacts with cold water to give a vigorous reaction,magnesium and aluminium reacts with steam at red heat.

Silicon does not react with water, even as steam, under normal conditions.
