Sodium Atom has a larger atomic radius than chlorine, because as we go across the period the nuclear charge (charge on the atom) increases, also outermost electrons occupy the same principle energy level as we go across the period(3 sub energy level) so the electrons in chlorine are held more closely and tightly together than that of sodium....so sodium has a larger atomic radius

How does density of helium compare to density of oxygen and nitrogen?

Helium is lighter (less dense) than oxygen & nitrogen.


Why air dissolved in water contains maximum percent of oxygen?

Air dissolved in water contains a higher percentage of oxygen than nitrogen because oxygen is more soluble in water than nitrogen. This is due to the differences in their molecular characteristics, such as molecular weight and polarity, which affect their solubility in water.


Which element has a higher electronegativity than nitrogen?

How many Time more nitrogen than oxygen make up air?

There is: Nitrogen (N2): 78.09% Oxygen (O2): 20.95% in the atmosphere There is ~3.73 times more oxygen than nitrogen in the air and is in a ratio (oxygen to nitrogen) of 39:10 (rounded).


Which two gases are which you exhale more than inhale?

Carbon dioxide is exhaled more than it is inhaled, as it is a waste product of metabolism. Nitrogen is also exhaled more than it is inhaled because it makes up a large percentage of the air we breathe, but is not used by our bodies.


What percentage of our atmosphere is made up of gases other than oxygen and nitrogen?

Approximately 1% of Earth's atmosphere is made up of gases other than oxygen and nitrogen, including argon, carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of gases like helium, neon, and methane.


Does oxygen effuse 1.07 times faster than nitrogen?

No, oxygen does not effuse 1.07 times faster than nitrogen. The effusion rate of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass, so the effusion rate of oxygen would be √(Molar mass of nitrogen / Molar mass of oxygen) ≈ √(28.02 / 32) ≈ 0.91 times faster than nitrogen.


Is nitrogen more reactive than oxygen?

No, oxygen is more reactive than nitrogen. Oxygen readily forms compounds with other elements, while nitrogen is relatively inert under most conditions.
