Answer:
- <u>Cadmium has larger atomic radius than sulfur.</u>
Explanation:
Down a period, atomic radii decrease from left to right due to the increase in the number of protons and electrons across a period: when a proton is added the pull of the electrons towards the nucleus is larger, so the size of the atom decreases.
Hence, you can compare the elements that belong to a same period and predict that the atom with lower atomic number (number of protons) will haver larger atomic radius. With that:
- Oxygen and fluorine are in the period 3, being oxygen to the left of fluorine, so oxygen is larger than fluorine.
- Sulfur and chlorine are in the period 4, being sulfur to the left of chlorine, so sulfur is larger than chlorine.
Now see whan happens down a group. Atomic radius increases from top to bottom within a group due to electron shielding. That permits you to compare the size of the elements in a group:
- Fluorine and chlorine are in the same group (17), with chlorine directly below fluorine, so the atomic radius of chlorine is larger than the atomic radius of fluorine.
- Sulfur and oxygen are in the same group (16), with sulfur directlly below oxygen, so sulfur the atomic radius of sulfur is larger than the atocmi radius of oxygen.
So far, you can rank the atomic radius of sulfur, chlorine, fluorine, and oxygen, in increasing order as:
- O < F < Cl < S, concluding that O, F, and Cl have smaller atomic radius than S.
Cadmiun, Cd, is to the left and below sulfur, so both electron shielding (down a group) and increase of the number of protons (down a period) lead to predict the cadmium has a larger atomic radius than sulfur.
Answer:
a) Heterogeneous mixture (b) Homogenous mixture (c) Pure substance (d) Pure substance
Explanation:
Homogenous mixtures contains mixture of substances with similar proportions while Heterogenous mixture contains substances with a varying proportion.
Answer:
84 Joules are wasted per second.
Explanation:
An efficiency of 16% means 84% is wasted as heat energy.
Therefore;
For a 100W bulb;
Heat wasted = 84/100 × 100 W
= 84 W
Therefore;
84 W or 84 joules are wasted as heat per second
Explanation:
The electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are the valence electrons. These electrons are the most loosely held in an atom.
The energy required to remove these electrons are not as great as those of the inner shell electrons.
- Atoms of some elements show no tendency to combine with other atoms because they have completely filled outer energy levels.
- Their outermost shell, valence shell and the electron numbers are complete for them. These are the noble gases.
- other atoms share or exchange their valence electrons in order to have a stable configuration.
- The valence electrons are involve in inter-atomic bond formation and interactions
- Also the distribution of these electrons determines inter-molecular interactions between molecules.
