Cadium
Down a period, atomic radii decrease from left to right due to the increase in the number of protons and electrons across a period.
Answer:
C. cooler than both the crust and the core
Explanation:
It is observed that at the mantle, temperatures range from estimatedly 200 °C (392 °F) around the upper boundary with the crust to approximately 4,000 °C (7,230 °F) at the core-mantle boundary.
So we can say the mantle is cooler than both the crust and the core.
Number of Carbon atoms = 3*1 + 1 = 3 + 1 = 4
In short, Your Answer would be Option B
Hope this helps!
