PLEASE HELP The hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons is

an important industrial process. Precious metals,

such as platinum and palladium, can greatly

increase the rate of this reaction. During this

process, the gaseous reactants are pumped

across a layer of metal powder. An example of this

process is shown below.

Describe how the metal probably increases the

reaction rate, identify whether this is an example

of homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysis, and

explain how you know.

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.
