Cavendish carried out a second experiment to test the properties of the hydrogen gas produced in the experiment. Was this experiment also a chemical reaction? Explain

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.

Consider the reduction reactions and their equilibrium constants. cu+(aq)+e−↽−−⇀cu(s)pb2+(aq)+2e−↽−−⇀ pb(s)fe3+(aq)+3e−↽−−⇀fe(=6.2×108=4. 0×10−5=9.3×10−3 cu + ( aq ) + e − ↽ − − ⇀ cu ( s ) k =6.2× 10 8 pb 2 + ( aq ) +2 e − ↽ − − ⇀ pb ( s ) k =4.0× 10 − 5 fe 3 + ( aq ) +3 e − ↽ − − ⇀ fe ( s ) k =9.3× 10 − 3 arrange these ions from strongest to weakest oxidizing agent.

With the largest atoms and the smallest number of valence electrons and with the smallest atoms and the greatest number of valence electrons are the most reactive. a. nonmetals; metals b. nonmetals; transition elements c. transition elements; metals d. metals; nonmetals
