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.

A mixture of helium, nitrogen and oxygen has a total pressure of 821 mmHg. The partial pressure of helium is 105 mmHg, and the p
skad [1K]

Answer:

Total partial pressure, Pt = 821 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Helium, P1 = 105 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Nitrogen, P2 = 312 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Oxygen, P3 = ? mm Hg

According to Dalton's law of Partial pressures,

Pt = P1 + P2 + P3

So, <u>P3 = 404 mm Hg</u>

1. In general, the nucleus of a small atom is stable. Therefore, over very short distances, such as those in a small nucleus,
postnew [5]
<h3>1. <u>Answer;</u></h3>

a. the strong nuclear force is much greater than the electric force.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>For an atom to be stable it means it has enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus together permanently. </u></em>
  • Therefore, <em><u>an unstable atom lacks enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus permanently and thus undergoes decay to achieve stability. Unstable atoms are therefore referred to being radioactive.</u></em>
  • Small atoms are stable; <u>this is because they have equal number of protons and neutrons and thus the protons and neutrons fill up energy levels while maximizing the strong force binding the nucleus together. </u>

<h3>9.<u> Answer;</u></h3>

b. change into a different element altogether.

Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay. Therefore, uranium-238 will  <em><u>change into a different element altogether</u></em>.

<h3><u> Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay in order to achieve stability of their nucleus.
  • <em><u>Uranium-238 is an example of such atom, which may undergo decay to achieve stability.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Alpha decay is one of the types of decays,</u></em> others being beta decay and gamma decay. <em><u>In alpha decay the radioactive isotope undergoes decay such that its mass number is decreased by four and its atomic number is decreased by two.</u></em>
  • Therefore, <em><u>Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay to form a different element whose mass number is 234 and atomic number is 90, known as thorium-234. </u></em>
