It is not correct to say " a molecule of salt " because salt is a compound.
Explanation:
- As we know a molecular bond is present in each molecule.
- Salt (NaCl) is considered as a compound because it is made up of two types of elements that are sodium as well as chlorine.
- On the other hand it is not considered as a molecule as it is not holding an ionic bond.
- As a result we can name it as an ionic compound. Hence it is not considered as a molecule of salt.
Cl is highly electronegative and will actually pull away 1 electron from sodium, forming an ionic bond.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Atomic radius can be defined as a measure of the size (distance) of the atom of a chemical element such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen etc, typically from the nucleus to the valence electrons. The atomic radius of a chemical element decreases across the periodic table, typically from alkali metals (group one elements such as hydrogen, lithium and sodium) to noble gases (group eight elements such as argon, helium and neon). Also, the atomic radius of a chemical element increases down each group of the periodic table, typically from top to bottom (column).
<em>Hence, the atomic radius of phosphorus is smaller than the atomic radius of magnesium. Basically, the atomic radius of phosphorus is 98 pm while the atomic radius of magnesium is 145 pm.</em>
