4.How element gold is different from oxygen?

Chemistry
1 answer:
V125BC [204]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Gold is a metal, more specifically a transition metal, whereas Oxygen is a nonmetal, more specifically a reactive nonmetal. Using this information, you can compare and contrast metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.

Metals are:

Shiny

High melting point

Mostly silver or gray in color

Mostly solids at room temperature – Mercury (Hg) is a liquid at room temperature

Malleable – able to be hammered into a thin sheet

Ductile – able to be drawn/pulled into a wire

Good conductors of heat and electricity

Nonmetals are:

Dull

Low melting point

Brittle – break easily

Not malleable

Not ductile

Poor conductors of heat and electricity

Metalloids are:

Found on the “zig-zag” line on the Periodic Table of Elements

Have properties of both metals and nonmetals

Can be shiny or dull

Semiconductors – able to conduct electricity under certain conditions

Which element has a larger atomic radius than sulfur? chlorine cadmium fluorine oxygen
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

  • <u>Cadmium has larger atomic radius than sulfur.</u>

Explanation:

Down a period, atomic radii decrease from left to right due to the increase in the number of protons and electrons across a period: when a proton is added the pull of the electrons towards the nucleus is larger, so the size of the atom decreases.

Hence, you can compare the elements that belong to a same period and predict that the atom with lower atomic number (number of protons) will haver larger atomic radius. With that:

  • Oxygen and fluorine are in the period 3, being oxygen to the left of fluorine, so oxygen is larger than fluorine.

  • Sulfur and chlorine are in the period 4, being sulfur to the left of chlorine, so sulfur is larger than chlorine.

Now see whan happens down a group. Atomic radius increases from top to bottom within a group due to electron shielding. That permits you to compare the size of the elements in a group:

  • Fluorine and chlorine are in the same group (17), with chlorine directly below fluorine, so the atomic radius of chlorine is larger than the atomic radius of fluorine.

  • Sulfur and oxygen are in the same group (16), with sulfur directlly below oxygen, so sulfur the atomic radius of sulfur is larger than the atocmi radius of oxygen.

So far, you can rank the atomic radius of sulfur, chlorine, fluorine, and oxygen, in increasing order as:

  • O < F < Cl < S, concluding that O, F, and Cl have smaller atomic radius than S.

Cadmiun, Cd, is to the left and below sulfur, so both electron shielding (down a group) and increase of the number of protons (down a period) lead to predict the cadmium has a larger atomic radius than sulfur.

The atomic mass unit is presently based on assigning an exact integral mass (in amu) to an isotope of ________.
MAVERICK [17]

The atomic mass unit is presently based on assigning an exact integral mass (in amu) to an isotope of carbon.

<h3>What is the atomic mass?</h3>

The atomic mass is a measurement used in physics and chemistry to denote the average atomic mass of a given element which is measured in the atomic mass unit or amu.

In conclusion, the atomic mass unit is presently based on assigning an exact integral mass (in amu) to an isotope of carbon.
