1. For this question, the adjective small must be percepted in a relative sense. This is because it is not the smallest ion (that would be hydrogen). It could be that the antimony and beryllium ions are smaller compared to their neutral forms. This is because they donate electrons when ionized. As a result, the electrons are reduced, so does the electron cloud which makes the radius much smaller.
2. The periodic table is arranged in terms of increasing atomic number. For neutral atoms, the number of protons (atomic number) is equal to the number of electrons. So, the farther we go down the table, the higher the atomic number. The higher the atomic number, the bigger the electron cloud which makes the atomic radius bigger. Because by definition, atomic radius is the length from the nucleus to the farthest electron from the nucleus.
Answer:
The electrons of an atom are typically divided into two categories: valence and core electrons. Valence electrons occupy the outermost shell or highest energy level of an atom while core electrons are those occupying the innermost shell or lowest energy levels

i hope u get it :))
Hey there!:
Given % of Mn=59.1% means 59.1 g of Mn present in 100 g of manganese fluoride.
Molar mass of Mn= 54.938 g/mol
Moles of Mn = mass / molar mass
59.1 /54.938 => 1.07 ≈ 1 mol.
and % of F=40.9% means 40.9 g of of F present in 100 g of manganese fluoride.
Molar mass of F=18.998 g/mol
Moles of F :
40.9 / 18.999 => 2.15 mol ≈ 2 mol.
The mole ratio between Mn:F= 1 : 2
Therefore the empirical formula of manganese fluoride:
=> MnF2=Mn1F2
Hope that helps!
Answer:
Ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds
Answer:
F - O - S - Mg - Ba
Explanation:
as you move left to right on the periodic table the number of electrons increase.
