While staying in the same period, if we move from left to right across the period, the atomic radius decreases. The reason is, in a period the number of shells remain the same and the number of electrons and protons increase as we move across the period to the right. The increased electrons and protons attract each other with greater force and hence the atomic size decreases.
So the element on the left most will have the largest atomic radius. So the correct ans is Potassium. Potassium will have the largest atomic size among Potassium, Calcium and Scandium.
That would be C. Organelles
The freezing point depression is a colligative property which means that it is proportional to the number of particles dissolved.
The number of particles dissolved depends on the dissociation constant of the solutes, when theyt are ionic substances.
If you have equal concentrations of two solutions on of which is of a ionic compound and the other not, then the ionic soluton will contain more particles (ions) and so its freezing point will decrease more (will be lower at end).
In this way you can compare the freezing points of solutions of KCl, Ch3OH, Ba(OH)2, and CH3COOH, which have the same concentration.
As I explained the solution that produces more ions will exhibit the greates depression of the freezing point, leading to the lowest freezing point.
In this case, Ba(OH)2 will produce 3 iones, while KCl will produce 2, CH3OH will not dissociate into ions, and CH3COOH will have a low dissociation constant.
Answer: Then, you can predict that Ba(OH)2 solution has the lowest freezing point.
