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

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.

Which of the following is true about a system at equilibrium? a The concentration(s) of the reactant(s) is equal to the concentr

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

c The concentration(s) of reactant(s) is constant over time.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the reaction A ⇌ B reaches equilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products are constant over time.

a is wrong, because the concentrations of reactants and products are usually quite different.

b is wrong, because both product and reactant molecules are being formed at equilibrium.

d is wrong. The rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, but they are not zero.

A sample of lemon juice is found to have a pH of 2.3. What is the concentration of hydrogen ions in the lemon juice?

Elenna [48]

Answer: It's equal to 10^(-2.3), or 0.00501 M, or 5.01 * 10^-3 moles/Liter

Explanation:

Well, pH = - log[H+]

Or, in words, pH is equal to -1 multiplied by the logarithm (base 10) of the hydrogen ion concentration. So you have 2.3 = -log[H+]. We want to isolate the H+, so let's start simplifying the right hand side of the equation. First, we multiply both sides by -1. -2.3=log[H+] Now, the definition of a logarithm says that if the log (base 10) of [H+] is -2.3, then 10 raised to the -2.3 power is [H+] So on each side of the equation, we raise 10 to the power of that side of the equation. 10^(-2.3) = 10^(log[H+]) and because 10^log cancels out... 10^(-2.3) = [H+] Now we've solved for [H+], the hydrogen ion concentration!
