Describe the relationship between the radius of a cation and that of the atom from which forms.

4 0

The radius of the cation is much smaller than the corresponding neutral atom.(b) The radius of an anion is much larger than the corresponding neutral atom.Explanation:The size of the atom or ion is inversely proportional to the nuclear charge experienced by the electrons.(a)The size of the cation is smaller than the size of the corresponding neutral atom. This is because after removal of an electron from the highest principle energy level the nuclear charge experienced by the valence electrons increases resulting in the decrease in size.(b)The size of an anion is larger than the size of the corresponding neutral atom. In an anion, an extra electron is added to the highest principle energy level but the effective nuclear charge pulling the electrons towards the nucleus is still same. The net effective nuclear charge experienced by the electrons present in the outermost shell decrease. Moreover, due to the added electron, the repulsion between the electrons also increases resulting in the increase in size

When a redox reaction that takes place in an acidic solution involves an oxygen imbalance, oxygen should be balanced by adding _

Balancing redox reactions:

Oxygen should be balanced by adding $H_{2}O$ as needed, while hydrogen should be balanced by adding $H^{+}$ .

What is a redox reaction?

Redox reactions, also known as oxidation-reduction reactions, involve the simultaneous oxidation and reduction of two different reactants.

The Half-Equation Method is one technique used to balance redox processes. The equation is divided into two half-equations using this technique: one for oxidation and one for reduction.

By changing the coefficients and adding $H_{2}O$ , $H^{+}$ , and $e^{-}$ in that order, each reaction is brought into equilibrium:

By putting the right number of water ( $H_{2}O$ ) molecules on the other side of the equation, the oxygen atoms are brought into balance.
By adding $H^{+}$ ions to the opposing side of the equation, one can balance the hydrogen atoms (including those added in step 2 to balance the oxygen atom).
Total the fees for each side. Add enough electrons ( $e^{-}$ ) to the more positive side to make them equal. (As a general rule, $e^{-}$ and $H^{+}$ are nearly always on the same side.)
The $e^{-}$ on either side must be made equal; if not, they must be multiplied by the lowest common multiple (LCM) in order to make them equal.
One balanced equation is created by adding the two half-equations and canceling out the electrons. Additionally, common terms should be eliminated.
Now that the equation has been verified, it can be balanced.
