When you burned copper, the product copper oxide appeared on the wire. Besides copper, the other reactant is
air
⇒ oxygen, O2.
Explain how you know it must be oxygen. Where did the oxygen come from?

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.

Three alkali metals in group 1 are a. calcium, strontium, barium b. boron, aluminum, gallium c. sodium, potassium, rubidium d. fluorine, iodine, chlorine

How would the number of moles (n) of o2 change if the atmospheric pressure doubled but all other variables stayed the same
