Which of the following statements is true about the periodic table? the atomic radius increases moving down a column. the atomic radius decreases moving down a column. the chemical reactivity of metals increases moving from left to right. the chemical reactivity of nonmetals decreases moving from left to right.

option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a periodic table, when we move from top to bottom in a periodic table then there will be increase in number of shells because of addition of more number of electrons.

As a result, there will be increase in atomic radius of the atom.

Metals are the elements which have excess of electrons but on moving from left to right in a periodic table reactivity of metals decreases as there valence shells does not contain extra electrons to donate.

On the other hand reactivity of non-metals increases on moving from left to right.

Hence, we can conclude that the statement atomic radius increases moving down a column, is true about the periodic table.

solute : a solute is a substance that is dissolved in another substance is known as a solvent. it is mixed with a special mixture know as homogeneous mixture.

solvent: a solvent is a substance that dissolved a solute, which results in a solution is known as solvent.

he uptake of drugs from the intestine is often strongly influenced by diffusion. for example, consider a water-insoluble steroid for treating inflammation that is solubilized in aggregates of detergent molecules, called micelles. these micelles, aggregates of 80 soap molecules, have a molecular weight of 24,000, a diameter of 2.6 nm, and a charge of -27. the positively charge ions (counterions) in this system are na".
