Answer:True

Explanation: An anion has a larger radius than a neutral atom because it gains valence electrons. There are added electron/electron repulsions in the valence shell that expand the size of the electron cloud, which results in a larger radius for the anion.

hit the crown for me pls :)

An electron has an uncertainty in its position of 513 pm. What is the uncertainty in its velocity?

ella [17]

"The uncertainty in velocity is Δv=1.05⋅105m/s . According to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, you cannot measure simultaneously with great precision both the momentum and the position of a particle. m - the mass of an electron - 9.10938⋅10−31kg."

Al + AgNO3 -> Al(NO3)3 + Ag. As a balanced equation

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Al + 4AgNO3 >>Al(NO3)3+ 3Ag

Explanation:

the number of moles of No3 of the products is 3 therefore we have to balance the reactants by adding 3 before the "AgNO3" which also leades us to adding 3 mols to Ag on the products side
