Answer:
Halogens
Explanation:
From the given choices, the halogens will have the smallest radius within the same period.
The size of an atom is estimated by the atomic radius. This is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance between two nuclei in the solid state.
- Across a period in the periodic table, atomic radii decrease progressively from left to right.
- Down a group from top to bottom, atomic radii increase progressively due to the addition of successive shells.
Since halogen is the right most group from the choices given, it will have the smallest radius.
Alkene on
Hydration yield
Alcohols. When
Asymmetric Alkenes are treated with water in the presence of acid they follow
Markovnikoff rule, and the Hydrogen of incoming reagent goes to that carbon which contain more number of Hydrogen atoms. The reverse (
Anti-Markovnikoff) is done by carrying out Hydroboration reaction.In this case the Hydrogen atom of incoming reagent goes to that carbon which contains less number of Hydrogen atoms. In this reaction both -H and -OH adds in
syn fashion. The Hydroboration reaction of
Chloestrol is shown below,
They have high melting and boiling points and are hard and brittle
