Explain Question: Identify correct orders of atomic / Ionic radius

Concept: Atomic Radius
Solution:
(A) B < Al ≅ Ga⇒ B < Al : n ,size
⇒ Al ≅ Ga : d-contraction/scandide contraction
(B) Cu < Zn ⇒ 3d- series size order
(C) C < O < N ⇒ incorrect order as left to right in period, size decreases
Correct order: C > N > O

boundedness for any general function mapping the closed domain [0,2] to [0,2].
Concept: Continuity and Differentiability, Extreme Value Theorem, Properties of
Onto/Bounded Functions.
Solution:

A. If g is onto, then g must be continuous.

A. False. Being onto (surjective) does not imply continuity. For example, a discrete function can
cover the whole interval.

B. If g is continuous, then g must be onto.

A. False. A continuous function need not cover the whole range. For instance, g(x) = x/2 is
continuous on [0, 2] but its range is [0,1], so it is not onto [0,2].
C. g must be bounded.

A. True. The function maps from [0, 2] to [0, 2]. Any function from a finite interval to a finite
interval is automatically bounded.

D. If g is continuous, then g must be bounded.

A. True. Continuous functions on a closed and bounded interval [0, 2] are always bounded by the
Extreme Value Theorem.

52) Explain Question: Compute the smallest possible value satisfying a system of
logarithmic-exponential equations given that x, y, z are positive real numbers.
Concept: Systems of Logarithmic Equations, Algebraic Manipulations.
Solution:
k = log2 3 for for brevity. Taking the base-2 log of each equation gives
(log2x) (log2y + log2z) = 8 + 4k,
(log2y) (log2z + log2x) = 9 + 6k,
(log2z) (log2x + log2y) = 5 + 10k.
Adding the first two equations and subtracting the third yields 2log2x log2y = 12, so log2x log2y
= 6.
Similarly, we get
log2x log2y = 6,
log2y log2z = 3 + 6k,
log2z log2x = 2 + 4k.
Multiplying the first two equations and dividing by the third yields (log2y)2 = 9, so log2y = ±3.
Then, the first and last equations tell us log2x = ±2 and log2z = ±(1 + 2k), with all signs
matching.
Thus
log2x + log2y + log2z = ±(3 + 2 + (1 + 2k)) = ±(6 + 2k),
so

Clearly, the smallest solution is 2–6.3–2 =
