Answer: Na, S, Cl

Explanation:

Atomic size decreases as one moves from left to right on the periodic table with elements in the same period. This is as a result of the electrons increasing in the outer circle and thus being drawn to the protons in the nucleus which will lead to the outer shell area decreasing.

Sodium (Na) comes before Sulfur (S) which comes before Chlorine (S) so this is the decreasing order as they are all in the same period.

Both natural products and synthetic products come from natural resources. Explain why this statement is true.

xz_007 [3.2K]

Explanation:

All resources used in making all products can be traced to their natural origin. What differentiates a natural product from a synthetic one is the level of processing that goes into making synthetic products.

For example, a synthetic product such as plastic is actually derived from natural product.
Instead of using the sap of rubber plants for making this product, scientists engineered a way to produce plastics from petroleum products which are derived from crude oil.
Most synthetic products are merely products of alternate source of manufacturing which are well engineered.

Loss of a beta particle

zlopas [31]

When a beta particle is emitted from the nucleus the nucleus has one more proton and one less neutron. This means the atomic mass number remains unchanged and the atomic number increases by 1.
We can also say that beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which a proton is transformed into a neutron inside an atomic nucleus.

a) converts a neutron into a proton

What is the quantum number set of the ground-state electron that is found in lithium (Li) but not in helium (He)?

statuscvo [17]

The electron configuration of lithium atom is: $Li:[He]2s^1$

The number "2" is the value of the principal quantum number "n". Letter "s" is associated with the value of secondary quantum number "l" and it is equal to zero. The value of "m" (or magnetic quantum number) is zero too. The quantum number set for the highest energy electron will be (2, 0, 0, 1/2).
