What is the predicted ionic radius of tennessine?

138 pm (predicted)

Explanation:

The ionic radius is half the distance between atomic ions in a crystal lattice. To find the value, ions are treated as if they were hard spheres. The size of an element's ionic radius follows a predictable trend on the periodic table. As you move down a column or group, the ionic radius increases. Advanced calculations show that the radius of an tennessine atom that has formed one covalent bond would be 165 pm, while that of astatine would be 147 pm. With the seven outermost electrons removed, tennessine is finally smaller; 57 pm for tennessine and 61 pm for astatine.

35 KJ.

Explanation:

The activation energy is the minimum energy that must be overcome for a reaction to take place.

In the diagram given above, the activation energy lies between the energy of the reactants and that at the peak.

Thus we can calculate the activation energy as follow:

Energy of reactants = 30 KJ

Energy at the peak = 65 KJ

Activation energy =..?

Activation energy = Energy at the peak – Energy of reactants

Activation energy = 65 – 30

Activation energy = 35 KJ

Therefore, the activation energy of th reaction is 35 KJ
