The atomic radius increases down a column (group) and decreases along a row
Answer:
Explanation:
we are given
there are in 0.073 gallons
we can see that there are two non-zero places after decimals
so, there are two siginificant figures
step-1: Change gallons to quarts
we know that
1 gallon = 4 quarts
so, we can write as
step-2: Change into liter
we know that
1 liter = 1.057 quarts
or
step-3: Change into millilitre
we know that
Since, it is asking for only two significant figures
so, we can also write as

Answer: <span>Molecular geometry around each carbon atom in a saturated hydrocarbon is
Tetrahedral.
Explanation: </span> In saturated hydrocarbons (-CH₂-) the central atom (
carbon) is bonded to either three or two hydrogen atoms and one or two carbon atoms. So, the central atom is having four electron pairs and all pairs are bonding pairs and lacks any lone pair of electron. According to
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR)
Theory the central atom with four bonding pair electrons and zero lone pair electrons will attain a
tetrahedral geometry with
bond angles of 109°.
Metals like sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc. are extracted by electrolysis of their chlorides in molten state.
These metals are not extracted by reduction of their oxides with carbon because:
Carbon has less affinity for oxygen than these metals
Carbon is a weaker reducing agent than these metals
These metals easily form oxides with oxygen, their oxides are very stable. Affinity to the oxygen is one the greatest of all elements.
Reducing agent is element or compound who loose electrons in chemical reaction. Sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium are very strong reducing agents because they easily loose one or two valence electrons.
Electrolysis is a chemical methode that uses electric currents for chemical reactions.

The s-, p-, and d-block elements of the periodic table are arranged into 18 numbered columns, or groups. The elements in each group have the same number of valence electrons. As a result, elements in the same group often display similar properties and reactivity.
