Answer:

NaCl has a smaller lattice energy compared to CaO

Explanation:

We have remember that lattice energy increases as the size of the ions in the ionic solid decreases. According to Oxford dictionary; lattice energy is "a measure of the energy contained in the crystal lattice of a compound, equal to the energy that would be released if the component ions were brought together from infinity."

We know that the larger the magnitude of charge on a cation the smaller in size the cation is and the size of anions increase from left to right in the periodic table. Hence Ca^2+<Na^+ and O^2- < Cl^-. Therefore the lattice energy of CaO is greater than that of NaCl.

nydimaria [60]
I don't know this article, but I do know some major changes: first, the change from the plum pudding model (no nucleus, just electrons) to the gold foil experiment, which had Rutherford shoot alpha particles at a sheet of gold only to find them rebounding, proving the existence of a positively charged mass, i.e a nucleus, in the atom. However, this changed again when Bohr realized that the negatively charged electrons should be attracted to the positively charged center, so that there must be something else inside the nucleus.

Which statement best describes the organelles in a cell
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

(2) Organelles must work together and their

activities must be coordinated

Explanation:

Organelles are usually located in cells. They are saddled with the role of performing specific functions in the cells for the overall functioning of life. In eukaryotic cells, the organelles are membrane bounded but in prokaryotic or primitive cells such is not the case.

Examples of cell organelles are ribosome, food vacuole, nucleus e.t.c. Just like organs in the body, organelles must work together in order to enhance life.

Which two atoms could be the "before'' and ''after'' of an alpha ejection
spin [16.1K]
The answer would be uranium and thorium. When an alpha ejects a particle, it will create a new atom. So, when uranium ejects an alpha particle, it will produce thorium.  They call this process as the alpha decay. Alpha decay often happens on atoms that are abundant nuclei such as uranium, radium, and thorium.
