Which ion is larger? Cu+ Cu2+ Why? Because Cu2+ has the filled 4s subshell. Because Cu2+ cannot be oxidized further. Because Cu2

+ has a larger positive charge. Because Cu+ has one more subshell than Cu2+. Because Cu+ has one more electron than Cu2+.

Answer:

Cu^+ ion size is larger than Cu^{2+} ion.

This is because Cu^+ has one more electron than Cu^{2+}.

Explanation:

Cations: They are formed when an atom looses its valence electrons. They are positive ions.

For positive ions, the removal of electron increases the nuclear charge for an outermost electron because the outermost electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus. So, the effective nuclear charge increases for cations and with that size of the ion also decreases.

As the positive charge on an ion increases the effective nuclear charges also increases which pulls remaining electrons present in the valence shell more closer towards the nucleus. Due to this size of an ion further decreases.

Cu^+>Cu^{2+}

Also number of electrons in Cu^+ ions are more than that of the Cu^{2+} ions.

So, that is Cu^+ ion size is larger than Cu^{2+} ion.

The atomic number of Cu = 29

Valence electron configuration of Cu = 3d¹⁰4s¹

Cu+ is formed when 1 electron is lost from Cu. Therefore, the atomic number for Cu+ = 28

Similarly, loss of 2 electrons from Cu results in Cu2+ with an atomic number = 27

Cu+ is the larger ion. This is because as electrons are removed from the valence orbitals, the attraction between the outer electrons and the nucleus tends to increase which then results in a decrease in size.

Ans: Cu+ has one more electron

Using wolfram alpha or some other reference, determine which of these elements would be liquid at 525 k (assume samples are prot
romanna [79]
The choices for this problem are bismuth, Bi; platinum, Pt; selenium, Se; calcium, Ca and copper, Cu. I think the correct answer would be selenium. The melting point of bismuth is at a temperature of 544.4 Kelvin. At a temperature of 525 K, it would exist as solid. Platinum melts at 2041.1 K. At 525 K, platinum would be in solid form. Selenium has a melting point at 494 K so that at a temperature of 525 K, it would exist in its liquid state. Calcium has a melting point of 1112 K so it would exist as solid at 525 K. Copper has a melting point at 1358 K, so it would still exist as solid at a temperature of 525 K. Therefore, the answer would only be selenium.
