Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Generally, when we move from top to bottom in a group then there occur increase in the number of electrons due to which there will also occur increase in the number of shells.
As atomic size is the distance between the nucleus and valence shell of an atom. Hence, more is the number of shells present in an atom more will be its atomic radius.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement atomic radius of elements in a group decreases as you go from top to bottom, is generally FALSE.
Answer:
In 4.5 grams of tetraphosphorus decoxide we have 3.85 * 10^22 phosphorus atoms
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
tetraphosphorus decoxide = P4O10
Molar mass of P4O10 = 283.89 g/mol
Mass of P4O10 = 4.5 grams
Number of Avogadro = 6.022 * 10^23 / mol
Step 2: Calculate moles of P4O10
Moles P4O10 = mass P4O10 / molar mass P4O10
Moles P4O10 = 4.5 grams / 283.89 g/mol
Moles = 0.016 moles
Step 3: Calculate moles of P
For 1 mol P4O10 we have 4 moles of phosphorus
For 0.016 moles P4O10 we have 4*0.016 = 0.064 moles P
Step 4: Calculate number of P atoms
Number of P atoms = moles P * number of Avogadro
Number of P atoms = 0.064 moles * 6.022*10^23
Number of P atoms = 3.85 * 10^22 atoms
In 4.5 grams of tetraphosphorus decoxide we have 3.85 * 10^22 phosphorus atoms
The array will be created with the elements equal to null.
