In which of these reactions is energy released

The atomic radius of sodium is 186 pm and of chlorine is 100 pm. the ionic radius for na+ is 102 pm and for cl– is 181 pm. in going from na to cl in period 3, why does the atomic radius decrease while the ionic radius increases? a. the inner electrons in the sodium cation shield its valence electrons more effectively than the inner electrons in the chloride anion do. b. the inner electrons shield the valence electrons more effectively in the chlorine atom than in the chloride anion. c. the outermost electrons in chloride experience a smaller effective nuclear charge than those in the sodium cation do. d. the outermost electrons in chloride experience a larger effective nuclear charge than those in the sodium cation do. e. monatomic ions are bigger than the atoms from which they are formed.

Achemistry student weighs out 0.306 g of citric acid (h3c6h5o7), a triprotic acid, into a 250 ml volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark with distilled water. he plans to titrate the acid with 0.1000 m naoh solution. calculate the volume of naoh solution the student will need to add to reach the final equivalence point. be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Why is it possible for different microorganisms to extract energy not only from carbohydrates and other biological molecules but from a large variety of substances?
