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

Chemistry

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.

What occurs to the atoms of reactants in a chemical reaction?
djyliett [7]

Question:

What occurs to the atoms of reactants in a chemical reaction?

Answer:

In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules that interact with each other are called reactants. ... No new atoms are created, and no atoms are destroyed. In a chemical reaction, reactants contact each other, bonds between atoms in the reactants are broken, and atoms rearrange and form new bonds to make the products.

When doing medical research with human subjects, which four limitations are unavoidable?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Answer

The limitations are-

1. Privacy of the individuals involved in the research process.

2. Physical and psychological risks should be minimized

3. The subjects should be chosen equitably

4. Only reasonable exposure to risks is admissible.

Explanation

The privacy of the individuals involved in the research must be taken into consideration. This will ensure safety of patient data and information. The risk of physical and physiological well being of the person must be taken into consideration in such a research. In addition to that, the subject must be made to understand every procedure and the risks involved before testing. Moreover, only minimal exposure to risks is allowed and must have been previously tested in animals to avoid deaths.
