Chapter 7, Problem 21E
Tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal in the periodic table: 3422 °C. The distance between W atoms in tungsten metal is 2.74 A. (a) What is the atomic radius of a tungsten atom in this environment? (This radius is called the metallic radius.) (b) If you put tungsten metal under high pressure, predict what would happen to the distance between W atoms.

The reaction of lithium with sulfur is similar to that of sodium with sulfur. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of lithium with sulfur. Include phase symbols.
As you move down a family (group) of the periodic table the size of atoms increases from period 2 to period 3 by about 30-40 pm. For example, the radius of B is 84 pm and the radius of Al is 121 pm. However, as you move from aluminum (radius of 121 pm) to gallium (radius of 122 pm) the radius only increases by 1 pm. Which of the following explains this small increase in radius from Al to Ga?
Select one:
a. the scandide contraction
b. the lanthanide contraction
c. the mercurate elongation
d. the zincate elongation
e. Aluminum is just larger than you might expect.
Oxygen (8O) and argon (18A) are both gases. Oxygen combines readily with other elements, but argon does not. What accounts for this difference?
