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

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.

Identify the two types of radiation shown in the figure below. Explain your reasoning.
saul85 [17]

Answer:- \gamma and \alpha radiation.

Explanations:-  Alpha particle is helium nucleus with two protons and two neutrons and so it has +2 charge where as gamma is a form of light, so these are rays and not particles. Since these are rays, the charges for gamma rays is zero means they are neutral.

When alpha particles are passed through electromagnetic field they are repelled by the positive plate and attracted by the negative plate as there is an attraction between opposite charges. So, the line we see towards positive plat is representing an alpha particle radiation.

Since gamma rays are neutral, they are not deflected in electromagnetic field and go straight. So, the other line in the diagram is representing gamma rays radiation.

An organism contains chloroplasts in its cells which allows it to make its own food. What Kingdom is it in?
Alina [70]

Answer:

Plantae. Plants are multicellular and most don't move, although gametes of some plants move using cilia or flagella. Organelles including nucleus, chloroplasts are present, and cell walls are present. Nutrients are acquired by photosynthesis (they all require sunlight).

Balance the redox reaction equation (occurring in acidic solution) and choose the correct coefficients for each reactant and pro
algol13
Balanced chemical reaction: 
PbO₂<span>(s) + Sn(s)+ 4H</span>⁺(aq) → Pb²⁺(aq) + Sn²⁺(aq) + 2H₂O<span>(l).
Oxidation half-reaction: Sn </span>→ Sn²⁺ + 2e⁻.<span>
Reduction half-reaction: PbO</span>₂ + 4H⁺ + 2e⁻ → Pb²⁺ + 2H₂O.
Net reaction: Sn + PbO₂ + 4H⁺ + 2e⁻ → Sn²⁺ + 2e⁻ + Pb²⁺ + 2H₂O.
Oxidation is increase of oxidation number, reduction is decrease of oxidation number.
