Correct Answer: C. 8

Explanation

\(104_x = 68\\

1 \times x^2 + 0 \times x + 4 \times x^0 = 68\\

x^2 = 68 - 4; x^2 = 64\\

x = \sqrt{64}=8\)

Correct Answer: D. cations are smaller than the parent atom

Explanation

The correct statement is D. cations are smaller than the parent atom.

• A is incorrect: Atomic size increases down a group because new electron shells are added.

• B is incorrect: Atomic size decreases across a period (from left to right) because the effective nuclear charge increases, pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus.

• C is incorrect: Anions are larger than their parent atoms because gaining electrons increases electron-electron repulsion, causing the electron cloud to expand.

• D is correct: Cations are formed by losing one or more electrons. This decreases electron-electron repulsion (and often removes an entire outer shell), resulting in a greater net pull from the nucleus, which makes the cation smaller than the neutral parent atom.

Correct Answer: A. Consumer is assumed irrational
