Explain why Ra is larger than Be. With 2 points.

Chemistry
1 answer:
igor_vitrenko [27]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

<h2>Radium(Ra)=> </h2>

atomic number=88

<h2>BERYLLIUM (Be)=></h2>

atomic number =4

why is Ra larger than Be

<h3>1. since the atomic number of Ra is greater than Be, the number of electrons is more, which means there are more number of shells present in Ra than Be. </h3><h2>(atomic Radius)</h2>

<h2>2. the more the valence electron (excluding fully filled ones) the less is the nuclear attraction force</h2><h3>since Ra has more valence electron in its outermost shell, the nuclear attraction force is less which means that Ra 's size is greater than Be.</h3>

hope it helps:)

Refer to the periodic table tool and write the electron configurations of the following elements in both long and short terms
ahrayia [7]

Answer:-

Carbon

[He] 2s2 2p2

1s2 2s2 2p2.

potassium

[Ar] 4s1.

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

Explanation:-

For writing the short form of the electronic configuration we look for the nearest noble gas with atomic number less than the element in question. We subtract the atomic number of that noble gas from the atomic number of the element in question.

The extra electrons we then assign normally starting with using the row after the noble gas ends. We write the name of that noble gas in [brackets] and then write the electronic configuration.

For carbon with Z = 6 the nearest noble gas is Helium. It has the atomic number 2. Subtracting 6 – 2 we get 4 electrons. Helium lies in 1st row. Starting with 2, we get 2s2 2p2.

So the short term electronic configuration is [He] 2s2 2p2

Similarly, for potassium with Z = 19 the nearest noble gas is Argon. It has the atomic number 18. Subtracting 19-18 we get 1 electron. Argon lies in 3rd row. Starting with 4, we get 4s1.

So the short electronic configuration is [Ar] 4s1.

For long term electronic configuration we must write the electronic configuration of the noble gas as well.

So for Carbon it is 1s2 2s2 2p2.

For potassium it is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

Increasing the temperature increases the rate of a many reactions by:
Bogdan [553]
Increasing the temperature increases reaction rates because of the disproportionately large increase in the number of high energy collisions. It is only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction) which result in a reaction.
