Chemical reaction that absorbs heat from its environment
Answer:
B.) a cation that is smaller than the original atom
Explanation:
When the atoms of an element gains or loses electrons, it becomes charged. This charged atom is called an ION. An ion can either be a CATION or ANION depending on whether the atom loses electrons to become positively charged (cation) or gains electrons to become negatively charged (anion).
In this case, magnesium (Mg) atom gives up or loses electron(s) to become an ion, it will become positively charged and hence called a CATION. However, since it loses electrons in its atom, it becomes SMALLER than the original magnesium atom. This is because the electrons left in the atom becomes more attracted to the nucleus and decreases the ionic radius.
Answer: well there is a lot of examples that can be used but i feel like a good answer will be a flower peddle once broken its still a peddle but its either larger or smaller than what it originated. another example can be a tree. you can have many trees that are huge in size or you can have small ones. once snapped in half it will still be a tree but the size of the tree will not remane the same but it will still be a tree through and through
Explanation:
Answer:
When two atomic orbitals come together to form two molecular orbitals, one molecular orbital will be lower in energy than the two separate atomic orbitals and one molecular orbital will be higher in energy than the separate atomic orbitals.
Explanation:
<em>Which of the following statements is TRUE? </em>
- <em>Electrons placed in antibonding orbitals stabilize the ion/molecule.</em> FALSE. Electrons in the antibonding orbitals destabilize the ion/molecule.
- <em>The total number of molecular orbitals formed doesn't always equal the number of atomic orbitals in the set.</em> FALSE. The total number of molecular orbitals is always equal to the number of atomic orbitals in the set.
- <em>When two atomic orbitals come together to form two molecular orbitals, one molecular orbital will be lower in energy than the two separate atomic orbitals and one molecular orbital will be higher in energy than the separate atomic orbitals.</em> TRUE. The orbital with lower energy will be the bonding orbital and the one with higher energy will be the antibonding orbital.
- <em>A bond order of 0 represents a stable chemical bond.</em> FALSE. A chemical bond is stable if the bond order is higher than zero.
