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

1 answer:

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

Make since? i hope this helps

The process of generating electricity from dams and nuclear power plants is very different, but some of the energy transformatio

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Kinetic energy to mechanical energy, and mechanical energy to electrical energy.

Explanation:

From the Law of conservation of Energy, which state that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another. Energy transformation is essential in science and technology, in the process of generating electricity from dams and nuclear power plants

some of the energy transformations are the same, the energy transformations occur in both dams and nuclear power plants is Kinetic energy to mechanical energy, and mechanical energy to electrical energy. Kinectic energy is the energy in motion which means the dams is a running water and posses a Kinectic energy then it's is been convert to mechanical energy (which is the macroscopic energy) then to electrical energy by producing light.
