Ion formed for bromine = Br-

And it's reduced in that case as it gained an electron

Answer: The ion formed after the reduction of bromine is Br^-

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of Sodium (Na) = [Ne]3s^1

The electronic configuration of Bromine (Br) = [Ar]3d^{10}4s^24p^5

From the above configurations, Sodium ion will loose 1 electron in order to gain stable electronic configuration and that electron is accepted by the Bromine atom because it is 1 electron short of the stable electronic configuration.

Na\rightarrow Na^++e^-   (oxidation reaction)

Br+e^-\rightarrow Br^-   (Reduction reaction)

Bromine atom is reduced to form Br^-

Reduction reactions are the reactions in which the element gain electrons.

Oxidation reactions are the reactions in which the element looses its electrons.

Which element has a larger atomic radius than sulfur? chlorine cadmium fluorine oxygen
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

  • <u>Cadmium has larger atomic radius than sulfur.</u>

Explanation:

Down a period, atomic radii decrease from left to right due to the increase in the number of protons and electrons across a period: when a proton is added the pull of the electrons towards the nucleus is larger, so the size of the atom decreases.

Hence, you can compare the elements that belong to a same period and predict that the atom with lower atomic number (number of protons) will haver larger atomic radius. With that:

  • Oxygen and fluorine are in the period 3, being oxygen to the left of fluorine, so oxygen is larger than fluorine.

  • Sulfur and chlorine are in the period 4, being sulfur to the left of chlorine, so sulfur is larger than chlorine.

Now see whan happens down a group. Atomic radius increases from top to bottom within a group due to electron shielding. That permits you to compare the size of the elements in a group:

  • Fluorine and chlorine are in the same group (17), with chlorine directly below fluorine, so the atomic radius of chlorine is larger than the atomic radius of fluorine.

  • Sulfur and oxygen are in the same group (16), with sulfur directlly below oxygen, so sulfur the atomic radius of sulfur is larger than the atocmi radius of oxygen.

So far, you can rank the atomic radius of sulfur, chlorine, fluorine, and oxygen, in increasing order as:

  • O < F < Cl < S, concluding that O, F, and Cl have smaller atomic radius than S.

Cadmiun, Cd, is to the left and below sulfur, so both electron shielding (down a group) and increase of the number of protons (down a period) lead to predict the cadmium has a larger atomic radius than sulfur.
