As one moves across a period, from left to right, both the number of protons and electrons of a neutral atom increase. The enhancing number of electrons and protons results in a greater attraction between the electrons and the nucleus. This uplifted attraction pulls the electrons nearer to the nucleus, therefore, reducing the size of the atom.
On the other hand, while moving down a group, there is an increase in the number of energy levels. The enhanced number of energy levels increases the size of the atom in spite of the elevation in the number of protons. In the outermost energy levels, the protons get attracted towards the nucleus, however, the attraction is less due to an increase in the distance from the nucleus.
Answer:
21.5 g.
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, since the reaction between the given compounds is:
We can see that according to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction, the total mass of products equals the total mass of reactants based on the stoichiometric proportions; in such a way, we first need to compute the reacted moles of Li3P as shown below:
Now, the moles of Li3P consumed by 15 g of Al2O3:
Thus, we infer that just 0.29 moles of 0.73 react to form products; which means that the mass of formed products is:
Therefore, the total mass of products is:
Which is not the same to the reactants (53 g) because there is an excess of Li₃P.
Best Regards!
The chemical could have more or less of a reaction to the other chemicals in the experiment
Thallium has got 81 protons
