Silicon (Si-14) has 14 protons and has an atomic radius of 111 pm. Germanium (Ge-32) has 32 protons and an atomic radius of 125 pm. Use the models of these two atoms and the periodic table to explain the difference in atomic radius between the two atoms. Include in your explanation Coulomb's Law, the calculated attractive forces for the outermost electron, and any atomic radius trend needed to fully explain your answer.​

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms

the answer would be a
