The radius of a lithium atom is 130 picometers, and the radius of a fluorine atom is 60 picometers. The radius of a lithium ion,

Li⁺, is 59 picometers, and the radius of a fluoride ion, F⁻, is 133 picometers.Explain, in terms of subatomic particles, why the radius of a lithium ion is smaller than the radius of a lithium atom.

Answer:

A positive ions is always smaller than the corresponding atom.

A negative ion is always larger than the corresponding atom.

Explanation:

The reason for this is that, when a positive ion is formed, a full shell is usually removed with its electrons thereby reducing the size of the electron cloud and decreasing the size of the electron cloud.

A negative ion is formed by addition of more electrons to the electron cloud hence it spreads out. Interelectronic repulsion accounts for the larger size of the negative ion.

What is the density of a cube of water measuring 2cmX4cmX1cm, with a mass of<br> 8g?
Vinil7 [7]

The actual formula for volume for a cube is the length multiplied by the width and then multiplied by the height. Since all three measurements are the same, the formula results in the measurement of one side cubed. For the example, 5^3 is 125 cm^3. Multiply the volume by the known density, which is the mass per volume.
