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.

Which of these conditions most likely produces an unstable isotope?

A100 kmol/h stream that is 97 mole% carbon tetrachloride (ccl4) and 3% carbon disulfide (cs2) is to be recovered from the bottom of a distillation column. the feed to the column is 16 mole% cs2 and 84% ccl4, and 2% of the ccl4 entering the column is contained in the overhead stream leaving the top of the column. calculate the mass and mole fractions of ccl4 in the overhead stream, and determine the molar flow rates of ccl4 and cs2 in the overhead and feed streams. 12. mw_ccla- 153.82; mw_cs2-76.14.
