Why are negative ions larger than the neutral atom from which they form?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tom [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A. because the addition of electrons results in an added energy level

Explanation:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases .

In both of case when extra electron is added the atom becomes anion and anionic radii is larger than neutral atom because of  addition of electrons results in an added energy level.

Suppose you will fill a glass with ice cubes. When the ice cubes melt, is the glass still full
goblinko [34]
No. It will not still be full. The reason being is because when it melts, it's almost the same thing as compacting things down into another object (container). Therefore, you will have some room left i the glass. Like, if your trashcan was over-flowing, and you push it down to compact it so you can add more trash. So when the ice melts, it will not be full.

If m = 45g and V = 15ml, what is D in g/ml?​
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

3 g/mL

Explanation:

We know that the density of an object can be measured by dividing its mass (g) to its volume (mL).

Formula

D=m/v

Given data:

Mass= 45 g

Volume= 15 mL

Now we will put the values in formula:

D=45 g/ 15 mL= 3 g/mL

Calculate the final Celsius temperature when 634 L at 21 °C is compressed to 307 L.
Illusion [34]

Answer:

- 130.64°C.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas:<em> PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If n and P are constant, and have two different values of V and T:

<em>V₁T₂ = V₂T₁</em>

<em></em>

V₁ = 634.0 L, T₁ = 21.0°C + 273 = 294.0 K.

V₂ = 307.0 L, T₂ = ??? K.

<em>∴ T₂ = V₂T₁/V₁ </em>= (307.0 L)(294.0 K)/(634.0 L) = <em>142.36 K.</em>

<em>∴ T₂(°C) = 142.36 K - 273 = - 130.64°C.</em>

What occurs along a convergent plate boundary ?
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Two plates pull towards each other

Explanation:

Along a convergent plate boundary, two plates moves towards each other as the move in the same direction.

This results in different forms of plate interactions depending on the plate types.

  • At an ocean - ocean and continental - ocean convergent front, subduction of the oceanic plate occurs. This is because the oceanic plate below is denser than the asthenosphere.
  • At a continental - continental convergent front, the continental crust is pulls upward and build up as a mountain.
  • The subduction produces trenches and some volcanic islands.
