Why do atoms get smaller as you move across a period

Neutral atoms get smaller as you move across the periodic table from (left to right) because the atom increases in electrons. The more electrons, the bigger the effective nuclear charge (electron and proton attraction) and so basically the atom shrinks.

Put these different types of radiation in order from MOST to LEAST penetrating.
Naily [24]

Answer:

C. Gamma > beta > alpha

Explanation:

<u>Alpha rays</u> : These are positively charged  and have mass 4u. These contain high energy Helium nucleus with 2 proton and 2 neutron.

These are heavier and maximum charged than beta and gamma particles.They have low velocity,least penetration power (can't travel more than 10-18 cm).

<u>Beta rays</u> : They are negatively charged and have negligible mass.

On emmission of beta particle, neutron is divided into proton and electron. They have less mass and very high velocity, so their penetrating power is more than alpha particles.

<u>Gamma rays</u>: These are parts of electromagnetic spectrum and travel with the speed of light (maximum velocity).Gamma rays do not have mass have maximum penetrating power.

Consider a reaction that has a positive ΔH and a positive ΔS. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A) This reaction will be
Alja [10]

Answer: A) This reaction will be spontaneous only at high temperatures

Explanation:

\Delta G= +ve, reaction is non spontaneous

\Delta G= -ve, reaction is spontaneous

\Delta G= 0, reaction is in equilibrium

Using Gibbs Helmholtz equation:

\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S

Given : \Delta H=+ve

\Delta S=+ve

\Delta G=(+ve)-T(+ve)

\Delta G=(+ve)(-ve)

Thus the value of  \Delta G  is negative and spontaneous when temperature is high.
