1. For this question, the adjective small must be percepted in a relative sense. This is because it is not the smallest ion (that would be hydrogen). It could be that the antimony and beryllium ions are smaller compared to their neutral forms. This is because they donate electrons when ionized. As a result, the electrons are reduced, so does the electron cloud which makes the radius much smaller.
2. The periodic table is arranged in terms of increasing atomic number. For neutral atoms, the number of protons (atomic number) is equal to the number of electrons. So, the farther we go down the table, the higher the atomic number. The higher the atomic number, the bigger the electron cloud which makes the atomic radius bigger. Because by definition, atomic radius is the length from the nucleus to the farthest electron from the nucleus.
Answer:
Okay so set up an equation for what's happening
_C + _H + _Cl + O2 --> _CO2 + _H2O
0.451g of CO2. Convert to moles by using the molar mass of CO2 which is 44 g/mol. Now look at the ratio between Carbon and Oxygen in CO2. It's 1C:2O You just want to find C.. so do the number of moles CO2 and multiply it by 1 since the ratio says 1 carbon atom. Now you have moles of carbon. Put this number aside for later.
Do the same thing with H2O. Convert to moles by using the molar mass of H2O which is 18 g/mol. Now look at the ratio between Hydrogen and Oxygen. It's 2H:1O You just want H.. so do the number of moles of H2O and multiply it by 2 since there's 2 hydrogen atoms. Now you have the moles of hydrogen & put this number aside for later
Lastly, you need to find the chlorine. uuhhh I cant figure this part out
Explanation: ..
I hope I helped lol!
