Metalloid is the closest because noble gases are obviously out, nonmetals are terrible conductors, and metals are not malleable
Answer:
It decreases.
Explanation:
Due to changes in the Coulombic force, the protons within the nucleus of the ion have a much easier time pulling at one fewer electrons. This way, the electrons are pulled closer to the center, causing the radius to decrease.
The correct statement is " A single bond, because they overlap orbitals to share one pair of electrons." A fluorine atom is unstable with 7 electrons in its valence shell and so needs one more electron to achieve stability. This is according to the octet rule which states that an atom will gain or lose electrons until there are 8 electrons in its valence shell. So each fluorine donates an electron to form a single pair and the
achieves a noble gas configuration.
Efficiency is defined as the measure of the amount of work or energy is conserved in a certain process. At all times, in every process, work or energy is always lost or wasted due to certain interference. Not all work given is converted to useful work or energy. Thus , efficiency is calculated by dividing the energy or work output to the energy or work input then the value is multiplied by 100 to express efficiency as percentage.
Efficiency = work output / work input Efficiency = (1540 J / 1600 J) x 100= 96.25%
Thus, the answer is B.
