Answer from: kevinh2683

Cadmium has larger atomic radius than sulfur.

Explanation:

Down a period, atomic radii decrease from left to right due to the increase in the number of protons and electrons across a period: when a proton is added the pull of the electrons towards the nucleus is larger, so the size of the atom decreases.

Hence, you can compare the elements that belong to a same period and predict that the atom with lower atomic number (number of protons) will haver larger atomic radius. With that:

Oxygen and fluorine are in the period 3, being oxygen to the left of fluorine, so oxygen is larger than fluorine.Sulfur and chlorine are in the period 4, being sulfur to the left of chlorine, so sulfur is larger than chlorine.

Now see whan happens down a group. Atomic radius increases from top to bottom within a group due to electron shielding. That permits you to compare the size of the elements in a group:

Fluorine and chlorine are in the same group (17), with chlorine directly below fluorine, so the atomic radius of chlorine is larger than the atomic radius of fluorine.Sulfur and oxygen are in the same group (16), with sulfur directlly below oxygen, so sulfur the atomic radius of sulfur is larger than the atocmi radius of oxygen.

So far, you can rank the atomic radius of sulfur, chlorine, fluorine, and oxygen, in increasing order as:

O < F < Cl < S, concluding that O, F, and Cl have smaller atomic radius than S.

Cadmiun, Cd, is to the left and below sulfur, so both electron shielding (down a group) and increase of the number of protons (down a period) lead to predict the cadmium has a larger atomic radius than sulfur.

False, as a substance changes from a solid to a liquid and from a liquid to a gas the molecules get farther apart from each other

Answer from: Quest

percent abundance for cu-63 can be shown as:

63 x + 65 (1-x) = 62.9296

65 - 62.9296 = 2 x

x = 1.035

thus, percent abundance for cu-63 is 1.035

percent abundance for cu-65 can be shown as:

63 x + 65 (1-x) = 64.9278

65 - 64.9278 = 2 x

x = 0.0361

thus, percent abundance for cu-63 is 0.0361

the mass spectrum of cu-63 showing the intense peak as, this isotope is found in nature more abundantly around 92.38 % in comparison to cu-65 which is found 62.58 % naturally
