In general, where in the periodic table of elements are the elements with the largest atomic radii located?

A. Upper-right corner

B. Upper-left corner

C. Bottom-left corner

D. Bottom-right comer

Answer Explanation:

In general, atomic radius increases moving down a group due to the increasing number of electron shells. In general, atomic radius decreases moving from left to right across a period due to the increasing number of protons in the energy level. Therefore, atoms of elements in the bottom-left corner of the periodic table tend to have the largest atomic radii.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.

  • Q #1: What types of reaction is Cu (s) + 2AgNO3(aq) → 2Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)?

    A. Single replacement

    B. Double replacement

    C. Synthesis

    D. Decomposition

    Answer Explanation

    This is a single replacement reaction in which copper replaces silver. The copper combines with the nitrate ions, and the silver precipitates out. Single replacement reactions have the general form of

    A + BC AC + B. Double replacement reactions have the general form of AB + CD AD + CB. Synthesis reactions have the general form of A + B AB. Decomposition reactions have the general form AB A+B.

  • Q #3: Which of the heart chambers is the largest?

    A. Left atrium

    B. Right atrium

    C. Left ventricle

    D. Right ventricle

    Answer Explanation

    Of the four heart chambers, the left ventricle is the largest. When it contracts, it pushes blood out to the organs and extremities of the body. The right ventricle pushes blood into the lungs. The atria, on the other hand, receive blood from the outlying parts of the body and transport it into the ventricles.

    The basic process works as follows: Oxygen-poor blood fills the right atrium and is pumped into the right ventricle. from which it is pumped into the pulmonary artery and on to the lungs. In the lungs, this blood is oxygenated. The blood then reenters the heart at the left atrium, which, when full, pumps into the left ventricle. When the left ventricle is full, blood is pushed into the aorta and on to the organs and extremities of the body.
