Which element in the third period has the smallest atomic radius?

Atomic radius decreases across a period. In the third period (Na to Ar), Cl has the smallest radius due to highest nuclear charge. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

What is the mass of nickel deposited at the cathode when a 5 A current flows through Ni(NO₃)₂ solution for 20 minute

Given: What is the mass of nickel deposited at the cathode when a 5 A current flows through Ni(NO₃)₂ solution for 20 minutes? (Molar mass of Ni = 58.7 g/mol, F = 96500 C/mol) These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Q = 5 × 1200 = 6000 C. This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: For Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Ni(s), 2F (193000 C) deposits 58.7 g. Mass = 58.7 × 6000/193000 approx 1.824 g . Result: The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, m/s², 10⁻⁵ are properly used as per NCERT.

What is the atomic number of an element with 3 electrons in its 2p subshell?

Given: What is the atomic number of an element with 3 electrons in its 2p subshell? These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Total electrons = 2 + 2 + 3 = 7, so Z = 7 (nitrogen).. This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: Configuration up to 2p with 3 electrons: 1s² 2s² 2p³. Result: The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, m/s², 10⁻⁵ are properly used as per NCERT.

What is the number of unpaired electrons in [Mn(Hâ‚‚O)6]^{2+ ?

Given: What is the number of unpaired electrons in [Mn(H₂O)6]^{2+ ? These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Mn²⁺ ( d⁵ ) with weak field H₂O in an octahedral field is high spin ( t_{2g³ e_g² ), with 5 unpaired electrons.. This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: Substituting values like 1.2 × 10⁻⁵, 236 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, CH₃CH₂NH₂ etc. into the formula and simplifying step by step. Result: The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, m/s², 10⁻⁵ are properly used as per NCERT.

How many grams of Oâ‚‚ are produced from 49 g of Hâ‚‚Oâ‚‚ in the reaction 2Hâ‚‚Oâ‚‚ -> 2Hâ‚‚O + Oâ‚‚ ? (Atomic masses: H

Given: How many grams of O₂ are produced from 49 g of H₂O₂ in the reaction 2H₂O₂ -> 2H₂O + O₂ ? (Atomic masses: H = 1, O = 16) These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Molar mass of H₂O₂ = 34 g/mol. This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: Moles of H₂O₂ = 49 / 34 ≈ 1.441 mol. 2 mol H₂O₂ produce 1 mol O₂. Moles of O₂ = 1.441 / 2 ≈ 0.7205 mol. Mass = 0.7205 × 32 ≈ 23.06 g ≈ 23 g. Result: The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, m/s², 10⁻⁵ are properly used as per NCERT.

The reaction 2X -> Y has an average rate of formation of Y as 4.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol L^{-1 min^{-1 . What is the rate of di

Given: The reaction 2X -> Y has an average rate of formation of Y as 4.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol L^{-1 min^{-1 . What is the rate of disappearance of X in the same units? These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Rate = -1/2 fracΔ[X]Δ t = fracΔ[Y]Δ t. This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: fracΔ[Y]Δ t = 4.0 × 10⁻⁴, so -fracΔ[X]Δ t = 2 × 4.0 × 10⁻⁴= 8.0 × 10⁻⁴. Result: The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, m/s², 10⁻⁵ are properly used as per NCERT.
