How does the size change when an atom forms a cation and when an atom forms an anion?

<span>A cation is an atom that loses a valence electron. When a valence electron is released there is one electron less to create a repulsive force. The loss of a repulsive force will allow the atom to pull tighter together. An anion would therefore be larger in size due to increased repulsion of the valence electrons.</span>

1 mole of no2(g) has a greater entropy than 1 mole of n2o4(g). true or false
bija089 [108]
In order to answer this, you need to find the empirical data for the standard entropies. Please refer to this link: http://www.mrbigler.com/misc/energy-of-formation.PDF

For NO₂ gas, the entropy is 240 J/mol-K. For N₂O₄ gas, the entropy is 304.2 J/mol-K. Therefore, <em>the statement is false.</em>

What is the threshold frequency ν0 of cesium?
Montano1993 [528]
 I think this is what you're after:

 Cs(g) → Cs^+ + e⁻ ΔHIP = 375.7 kJ mol^-1 [1] 


Convert to J and divide by the Avogadro Const to give E in J per photon 


E = 375700/6.022×10^23 = 6.239×10^-19 J 


Plank relationship E = h×ν E in J ν = frequency (Hz s-1) 


Planck constant h = 6.626×10^-34 J s 


6.239×10^-19 = (6.626×10^-34)ν 


ν = 9.42×10^14 s^-1 (Hz) 


IP are usually given in ev Cs 3.894 eV 


<span>E = 3.894×1.60×10^-19 = 6.230×10^-19 J per photon </span>
