Answer:
Ionic size increases from top to bottom within the group.
Explanation:
- Ions are formed when neutral atoms of elements gain or lose electron(s).
- The ionic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an ion to the outermost energy level.
- The ionic size or radius increases down the group as the number of energy level increases.
- Therefore, an ion of an element lower in the group will be larger than the ion of an element higher in the group.
- For example, an ion of potassium, K+, is larger in size compared to the ion of sodium, Na+ since K+ has more energy levels than Na+.
Atoms is the correct answer
Let us see the structure of ascorbic acid
As shown there is no COOH group however the OH group can lose a proton and forms conjugate base
The conjugate base formed is stabilized due to resonance
More the stability of conjugate base more the strength of acid
Hence ascorbic acid behaves as an acid
Organisms is an environment or habitat for species
