The diameter of neutral atoms generally decreases going left to right across one period on the periodic table. What change cause

s this decrease in diameter of atoms?
Chemistry
1 answer:
Lubov Fominskaja [6]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Atomic size gradually decreases from left to right across the periodic table because within a period of elements, all electrons are added to the same shell. However, at the same time, protons are being added to the nucleus, making it more positively charged. The effect of increasing proton number is greater than that of the increasing electron number. Therefore, there is a stronger nuclear attraction. This means that the nucleus attracts the electrons more strongly, pulling the atom's electron shells closer to the nucleus. As a result, the atomic diameter of the atom decreases.

Write and balance the equation for the combination of ammonia gas with solid copper (II) oxide to produce copper metal, nitrogen
Katena32 [7]

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

3CuO(s)+2NH_3(g)\rightarrow 3Cu(s)+N_2(g)+3H_2O(l)

By the stiochiometry, 3 moles of solid copper(II)oxide react with 2 moles of ammonia gas to give 3 moles of copper metal, 1 mole of nitrogen gas and 3 moles of liquid water.

The states of matter of each elements and compound is,

Copper(II)oxide is in solid state

Ammonia is in gaseous state

Copper metal is in solid state

Nitrogen is in gaseous state

Water is in liquid state

Consider the reaction: HCN (aq) + H2O (l) ⇄ CN- (aq) + H3O + (aq) Which of the following statements will decrease the amount of
alekssr [168]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction shows that hydrogen cyanide acid has been added to water which results in the formation of hydronium ion and cyanide ion.

Also, when we add a base like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to HCN then it will help in accepting a proton (H^{+}) from hydrogen cyanide. As a result, formation of CN^{-} anion will be rapid and easy.

This will make the system not to do any extra work. So, amount of work done by system will decrease.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, add solid NaOH to the reaction (assume no volume change) will decrease the amount of work the system could perform.
