Why does atomic radii decrease as you move from the left to right across the period

2 answers:

6 0

When we move from left to right across the periodic table, we can see that the atomic radii keeps decreasing. This is because, as you move from left to right, the nucleus gains protons. The atomic number increases and hence the valence electron will feel more attracted towards the nucleus & the atomic radii will decrease.

Answer:

This is because, within a period or family of elements, all electrons are added to the same shell.

Why is the composition of the vapor different from the composition of the solution?

BaLLatris [955]

If there is solution with nonvolatile solute (substance that does not readily evaporate into a gas) only the pure vapor of the solvent is present above the solution and solute stays in solution and do not enters vapor above solution. This is because nonvolatile solute has slow rate of evaporation and low vapore pressure.
If solution has two volatile components, composition of the vapor depends on vapor pressures of the components according Raoult's Law.

If a student's unknown is a white solid and its density was calculated to be about 1.7 g/mL, it is most likely _______. A. water

Triss [41]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter B. Phosphoric acid

Explanation:

A. water is not the right answer because it has a density of 1 g/ml and water is a liquid not a solid.

B. phosphoric acid is the right answer because phosphoric acid is a solid and all solids have a density higher than water (1 g/ml)

C. sodium hydroxide could be the correct answer but it is not because the crystals of sodium hydroxide are more colorless than white.

I don’t need the answers to this but u can if u want but I’m just asking what is this is asking for and how to solve it? I hope

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Salts are produced from the reaction of an acid and a base. In general ...

Acid + Base => Salt + Weak Electrolyte

Acids from the 'Arrhenius Definition' contain an 'ionizable' hydrogen (-H). Such as, HCl, HBr, HI, HNO₃, HClO₄, HF, etc.

Bases from the 'Arrhenius Definition' contain an 'ionizable' hydroxide (-OH). Such as, LiOH, NaOH, KOH, CsOH, Ca(OH)₂, etc.

When the acid and base react, they proceed by what is known as a 'Double Replacement Reaction' or 'Metathesis Reaction'. In the process, the ions of the reactant compounds exchange positions such that a 'Driving Force' compound is formed on the product side. The Driving Force compound is always on the product side of the equation and is a compound that takes one of three forms => A precipitating salt, a compound of a weak acid or weak base (weaker than the starting acid or base) or gas decomposition product (~ vinegar + backing soda rxn => CO₂ gas).

For your problem, split the compound into cations and anions. You can usually tell which is which by using this format on formulas like those listed in your question => reading formula from left to right, place an imaginary line after the 1st metal => this metal will be the cation & the remaining formula will be the anion.

KBr => K | Br => K (Potassium) is the cation (K⁺) and Br (Bromide) is the anion (Br⁻)

KBr => K⁺ + Br⁻

Now. Apply this rule => Add 'H' to anion => HBr, then add 'OH' to cation => KOH.

HBr is the acid and KOH is the base. Therefore ...

Acid + Base => Salt + Wk Electrolyte

HBr + KOH => KBr + H₂O (note how ions of reactants exchange places to form products).

So, KBr comes from the reaction of acid HBr and base KOH.

HBr + KOH => KBr + H₂O

To determine the acid and base origins of LiCl and NaF, use the same logic. Hope this helps. Doc :-)
