What are the physical properties of a chalk

Much of the general structure and physical properties of the interior of the earth are inferred from: a)deep oil and gas bore holes b)geologic investigations c)analysis of seismic waves d) study of volcanoes

Which statement correctly describes potassium iodide, ki? there is a one-to-one ratio of potassium ions to iodide ions. potassium gains electrons and iodine loses electrons during the reaction. the lattice is held together by potassium anions and iodide cations.

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.
