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.

What types of evidence do scientists use to determine evolutionary relationships among groups
lions [1.4K]
There are several things that can help scientists evaluate which category something belongs to. The similarity in features is one of them. If two skulls looked alike, they were probably species of the same evolutionary category. For example say humans and monkeys rather than humans and dogs.
Similarly fossils have helped scientists categorise species. Study of the chromosomes (in cases with available chromosomes) can help scientists figure out a lot about the subjects and categorise them.

How many grams of water can be produced when 8.73 moles of benzene (C6H6) react with excess oxygen?. . Unbalanced equation: C6H6
Alex_Xolod [135]
<span>2 C6H6 + 15 O2 = 12 CO2 + 6 H2O
</span>
2 moles C6H6 -------------------- 6 moles H2O
8.73 moles C6H6 --------------- ( moles H2O)

( moles H2O) = 8.73 x 6 / 2

( moles H2O) = 52.38 / 2

= 26.19 moles of H2O

Molar mass H2O = 18.00 g/mol

1 mole -------------- 18.00 g
26.19 moles ----- ( mass of H2O)

mass of H2O = 26. 19 x 18.00 => 471.42 g of water

hope this helps!
