Answer: One formula unit of NaCl consists of one cation, whose chemical symbol is Na^+ and one anion whose chemical symbol is Cl^-

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

The cation is formed by the metal sodium which forms  Na^+ and the anion is formed by non metal chlorine which forms Cl^-.

For a formula unit of sodium chloride,  the charges have to be balanced , thus the valencies of ions are exchanged and the neutral compound result. Thus

Na^+ and  Cl^- combine to form neutral NaCl

Calculate the ratio of the velocity of helium atoms to the velocity of neon atoms at the same temperature.
o-na [289]

Answer:

vHe / vNe = 2.24

Explanation:

To obtain the velocity of an ideal gas you must use the formula:

v = √3RT / √M

Where R is gas constant (8.314 kgm²/s²molK); T is temperature and M is molar mass of the gas (4x10⁻³kg/mol for helium and 20,18x10⁻³ kg/mol for neon). Thus:

vHe = √3×8.314 kgm²/s²molK×T / √4x10⁻³kg/mol

vNe = √3×8.314 kgm²/s²molK×T / √20.18x10⁻³kg/mol

The ratio is:

vHe / vNe = √3×8.314 kgm²/s²molK×T / √4x10⁻³kg/mol / √3×8.314 kgm²/s²molK×T / √20.18x10⁻³kg/mol

vHe / vNe = √20.18x10⁻³kg/mol / √4x10⁻³kg/mol

<em>vHe / vNe = 2.24</em>

Rank the following elements in order of decreasing atomic radius (1 is biggest, 5 is smallest)
AlexFokin [52]

There are various kind of elements that are present in periodic table. Some elements are harmful, some are radioactive, some are noble gases. The atomic radius in decreasing order is Bi>Sb>As>N>O.

<h3>What is periodic table?</h3>

Periodic table is a table in which we find elements with properties like metals, non metals, metalloids and radioactive element arranges in increasing atomic number.

Along the period, the size of elements decreases. Down the group the size of elements increases. The atomic radius in decreasing order is Bi>Sb>As>N>O.

Therefore, atomic radius in decreasing order is Bi>Sb>As>N>O.

How do the atmosphere conditions near the beginning of Precambrian time contrast with the atmosphere conditions that are present
babunello [35]
The early precambrian atmosphere consisted primarily of nitrogen and carbon dioxide with almost no oxygen. 

<span>Today, the atmosphere contains about 20% oxygen, less carbon dioxide and similar amounts of nitrogen. </span>

<span>Photosynthetic green-leaf plants and trees are largely responsible for the change, converting carbon dioxide to oxygen.</span>
