John is going on a summer trip and can either stay at the Banks hotel near the ocean, or the Diamond hotel which is far inland. John wants to have warm weather and no rain on his trip. Which hotel should John stay at? (2 points) The Banks hotel, because water from the ocean warms up the surrounding air in the summer.
The Banks hotel, because the water from the ocean heats up faster than land in the summer.
The Diamond hotel, because inland regions have less precipitation and warm faster than areas near oceans.
The Diamond hotel, because the ocean will carry warm air towards the inland regions.

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.
