Write a hypothesis for part i of the lab, which is about the
effect of mass on the ability of an object to absorb or
release thermal energy. use the format of "if .. then
because " and be sure to answer this part of the
lesson question: "how does mass affect thermal energy
transfer? "

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.

As we move from left to right across the periodic table, what is the general trend? a) atomic radii increase. b) electronegavitiy decreases. c) nuclear shielding increases. d) metallic character decreases.

The density of the solid phase of a substance is 0.90 g/cm3 and the density of the liquid phase is 1.0 g/cm3. a large increase in pressure will a. lower the freezing point b. raise the freezing point c. lower the boiling point d. raise the triple point e. lower the triple point
