Answer: Electronegativity increases across a period.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as ability of an atom to attract shared pair of electrons in a bond toward itself.

Electronegativity increases across the period because when we move across the period from left to right numbers of protons and electrons are increased. By increase in number of protons ,nuclear charge also increases due to which electrons present in an atom are strongly attracted towards the nucleus. And due to presence of strong nuclear charge shared pair of electrons in a bond are also attracted towards nucleus of an electronegative atom.

I believe the answer would be A. Electronegativity increases across a period.

A 1.42-g sample of a pure compound with formula m2so4 was dissolved in water and treated with an ex- cess of aqueous calcium chl

solong [7]

The reaction between $m_{2}SO_{4}$ with calcium chloride can be shown as- $m_{2}SO_{4}$ + $CaCl_{2}$ → $CaSO_{4}$ ↓+2mCl. The molecular weight of $CaSO_{4}$ is 136.14g. The weight of sulfate ion is 96.06g. The molecular weight of $m_{2}SO_{4}$ = (2×m + 96.06). From the reaction we can see that 1 mole of calcium chloride reacts with 1 moles $m_{2}SO_{4}$ to produce 1 mole of calcium sulfate. Now 1.36g of calcium sulfate is equivalent to 1.36/136.14=9.989× $10^{-3}$ moles of calcium sulfate.

Thus, 9.989× $10^{-3}$ moles of $m_{2}SO_{4}$ reacts in this reaction.

Let assume the atomic mass of m is x thus the molecular weight of $m_{2}SO_{4}$ is 2x+96.

So we may write 9.989× $10^{-3}$ × (2x+96) =1.42

Or, 2x + 96 = 142.146

Or, 2x = 46.146

Or, x = 23.073

Thus the atomic mass of m is 23.073. The atom (m) is sodium (Na).

damaskus [11]

Answer: Physical change : tearing of paper, fixing of wtaer

Chemical change: rusting of iron , electrolysis of water, Rancidification

Explanation:

Physical change is a change in which there is no rearrangement of atoms and thus no new substance is formed. There is only change in physical state of the substance.

Example: tearing of paper, fixing of wtaer

Chemical change is a change in which there is rearrangement of atoms and thus new substance is formed. There may or may not be a change in physical state.

Example: rusting of iron , electrolysis of water, Rancidification

A negative ion is (larger/smaller) than its parent atom.<br> Why?

Kay [80]

Answer:

When an atom attracts extra electrons it becomes a negative ion. The negative ion is larger than the original atom. The positive nucleus remains the same, with the same attractive force. However, this attractive force is now pulling on more electrons and therefore has less effect.

Positive ions are formed by removing one or more electrons from the outermost region of the atom. The opposite is true of negative ions. When electrons are added to form an anion, the increased electron-electron repulsions cause the electrons to spread out more in space. Thus, anions are larger than their parent atoms.

What's the equation for the reaction of Trifluoro bromide with Ammonia gas. ( brainliest assured )

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Ammonium bromide can be prepared by the direct action of hydrogen bromide on ammonia. It can also be prepared by the reaction of ammonia with iron(II) bromide or iron(III) bromide, which may be obtained by passing aqueous bromine solution over iron filings.
