Answer:
Strontium (St)
Explanation:
The atom that will have a larger radius than zinc is strontium, Sr.
Atomic radius is defined as the half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance between two nuclei in the solid state of metals.
- Across the period atomic radii decreases progressively due to the increase in nuclear charge.
- Down a group atomic radii increase progressively due to the successive shells of electrons being added.
- Since strontium satisfies the criteria, it has the larger atomic radius.
Answer:
C. Cs < K < P
Explanation:
Electronegativity is the basically the tendency of an atom to attract electrons. The pauling scale is used to quantify electronegativity, the most electronegative element; fluorine has a value of 4.0 and francium, the least electronegative element has a value of 0.7
The electronegative values of the following elements are given as;
K = 0.82
Cs =0.79
P = 2.19
Arranging in order of increasing electronegativity, we have;
Cs < K < P. The correct option is;
C. Cs < K < P
Explanation:
(a) mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons
(the atomic number is the number of protons of an element)
mass number of A = 11 + 12 = 23
mass number of B = 17 + 18 = 35
(b) +1 and -1, respectively
(c) A+ + B- → AB (the first plus sign and the minus sign are superscripts)
