Answer:
electron-electron repulsion
Explanation:
When electrons add into valence shell of neutral elements, the element assumes a negative oxidation state. With this, the number of electrons having (-) charges will be larger than the number of protons having positive (+) charges. As a result, the extra electrons repel one another (i.e., like charges repel) and a larger radius is the result.
In contrast, when cations are formed, electrons are removed from the valence level (oxidation) producing an element having a greater number of protons than electrons. The larger number of protons will function to attract the electron cloud with a greater force that results in a contraction of atomic radius and a smaller spherical volume than the neutral unionized element.
To visualize, see attached chart that shows atomic and ionic radii before and after ionization of the elements.
Answer:
Nope unless u like the ex it’s super wrong but if u like their friend ur good
Explanation:
Group 12 Elements have two valence electrons while Group 13 Elements have three valence electrons.
Number of valence electrons tend to determine factors like reactivity. So elements with different number of valence electrons will have different properties.
That is why G12 and G13 have different properties
