24. Na or K-Which is bigger in atomic size? The metallic character of an element depend on the size of atom. Explain.​

K is bigger in atomic size. The metallic character increases as the size increases.

Explanation:

Reactivity of a metal is defined as the tendency of an element to lose electrons. The metallic character increases as we move down a group and it decreases as we move across a period.

When the size of an element increases, the valence electrons gets away from the nucleus and the tendency of an element to loose electrons increases.

In a group, the size of an element increases because there is an addition of new shell and electron is added in that shell.

Thus for alkali metals, the metallic character increases from Lithium to sodium to potassium and so on.

when the volume of gas is   changed from   717.73 ml   to 852 ml   the temperature will   change   from 315   c to 452   c

    calculation

this is calculated using the charles law formula

that is,   v1/t1 = v2/t2

          v1=?

        t1 = 315 c   into   kelvin = 315 +273 = 588 k

        v2 = 852   ml

        t2 = 425c + 273 =698 k

make v1   the subject of the formula ( by   multiplying both side by t1)

  v1=( v2 xt1) / t2

v1= (852 ml   x 588 k)/ 698 k= 717.73 ml

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!
