Answer:
A positive ions is always smaller than the corresponding atom.
A negative ion is always larger than the corresponding atom.
Explanation:
The reason for this is that, when a positive ion is formed, a full shell is usually removed with its electrons thereby reducing the size of the electron cloud and decreasing the size of the electron cloud.
A negative ion is formed by addition of more electrons to the electron cloud hence it spreads out. Interelectronic repulsion accounts for the larger size of the negative ion.

Answer:
21.02moles of KBr
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Number of moles BaBr₂ = 10.51moles
Complete reaction equation:
BaBr₂ + K₂SO₄ → KBr + BaSO₄
Upon inspecting the given equation, we find out that the atoms are not balanced on both sides of the equation:
The balanced equation is:
BaBr₂ + K₂SO₄ → 2KBr + BaSO₄
From the equation:
1 mole of BaBr₂ produces 2 moles of KBr
∴ 10.51 moles of BaBr₂ will yield (2 x 10.51) moles = 21.02moles of KBr
Answer:
Reduction
Explanation:
Reduction:
Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.
Mn⁺⁷ +3e⁻ → Mn⁴⁺
Mn gets three electrons , its oxidation state reduced from +7 to +4 so Mn gets reduced.
Examples:
Consider the following reactions.
4KI + 2CuCl₂ → 2CuI + I₂ + 4KCl
the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.
CO + H₂O → CO₂ + H₂
the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant side and on product side it becomes +4 so carbon get oxidized.
H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O
The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
