Explain why the atomic radius decreases across a period and increases down a group ?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
andreyandreev [35.5K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

In general, atomic radius decreases across a period and increases down a group. ... Down a group, the number of energy levels (n) increases, so there is a greater distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital. This results in a larger atomic radius.

In order for a process to be spontaneous, Multiple Choice the entropy of the surroundings must increase. the entropy of the surr
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is entropy change of the surrounding plus the entropy change of the system must be positive.

Explanation:

The term entropy is a state function.Entropy can be defined as the disorder or randomness of the molecules in a system.

 A spontaneous reaction is a type of reaction which deals with the release of free energy.The change of free energy in case of spontaneous reaction is always negative.

 According to the second law of thermodynamics a spontaneous reaction will occur in a system if the total entropy of both  system and surrounding increases during the reaction.

Electron X can change to a higher energy level or a lower energy level. Which statement is true of electron X?
rosijanka [135]

Answer: 2) Electron X absorbs energy when it changes to a higher energy level.

Explanation:

The electrons in an atom exist in various energy levels. When an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, energy is absorbed by the atom. When an electron moves from a higher to a lower energy level, energy is released (often as light).

4. How many grams of hydrogen is produced from 12.5 g of Mg reacting with hydrochloric acid in this
Volgvan

From the reactions, 1.04 g of H2 and 7.995 g of aluminum phosphate is produced.

<h3>What is stoichiometry?</h3>

The term stoichiometry has to do with the amount of substances that participates in a reaction.

For reaction 1;

Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂

Number of moles of Mg reacted =  12.5 g/24g/mol = 0.52 moles

If 1 mole of Mg produced 1 mole of H2

0.52 moles produces 0.52 moles of H2

Mass of H2 =  0.52 moles * 2 g/mol = 1.04 g

For reaction 2;

2Li3PO4 + Al2(SO4)3 → 3Li2SO4 + 2AIPO4

Number of moles of lithium phosphate =  7.5 g/116 g/mol = 0.065 moles

2 moles of Li3PO4 produced 2 moles of AIPO4

0.065 moles of  Li3PO4 produced 0.065 moles of AIPO4

Mass of AIPO4  = 0.065 moles  * 123 g/mol = 7.995 g
