Anika [276]

Answer:

As you move across a period the electrons are being added to the same shell. But, protons are being added as well. This makes the nucleus more positively charged and, increasing protons has a greater effect than electrons. So, there is a greater nuclear attraction and, because the electrons are being added to the same shell that shell gets pulled in more. This causes a decrease in atomic radius.

Answer: D)The distance from Earth and mass of ISS exert negligible gravitational force on the astronaut.

Explanation:

The distance from Earth and mass of ISS exert negligible gravitational force on the astronaut. Gravity is a very weak force and varies with mass and the inverse square of distance. The astronaut's distance from Earth and the relative small mass of ISS result in gravitational force near zero.
