Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Generally, when we move from top to bottom in a group then there occur increase in the number of electrons due to which there will also occur increase in the number of shells.
As atomic size is the distance between the nucleus and valence shell of an atom. Hence, more is the number of shells present in an atom more will be its atomic radius.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement atomic radius of elements in a group decreases as you go from top to bottom, is generally FALSE.
Answer:
Option A. FeCl3
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Mass of iron (Fe) = 6.25g
Mass of the compound formed = 18g
From the question, we were told that the compound formed contains chlorine. Therefore the mass of chlorine is obtained as follow
Mass of chlorine (Cl) = Mass of compound formed – Mass of iron.
Mass of chlorine (Cl) = 18 – 6.25
Mass of chlorine (Cl) = 11.75g
The compound therefore contains:
Iron (Fe) = 6.25g
Chlorine (Cl) = 11.75g
The empirical formula for the compound can be obtained by doing the following:
Step 1:
Divide by their molar mass
Fe = 6.25/56 = 0.112
Cl = 11.75/35.5 = 0.331
Step 2:
Divide by the smallest
Fe = 0.112/0.112 = 1
Cl = 0.331/0.112 = 3
The empirical formula for the compound is FeCl3
Breaking down that’s why they make land slides
