Answer:
electron-electron repulsion
Explanation:
When electrons add into valence shell of neutral elements, the element assumes a negative oxidation state. With this, the number of electrons having (-) charges will be larger than the number of protons having positive (+) charges. As a result, the extra electrons repel one another (i.e., like charges repel) and a larger radius is the result.
In contrast, when cations are formed, electrons are removed from the valence level (oxidation) producing an element having a greater number of protons than electrons. The larger number of protons will function to attract the electron cloud with a greater force that results in a contraction of atomic radius and a smaller spherical volume than the neutral unionized element.
To visualize, see attached chart that shows atomic and ionic radii before and after ionization of the elements.
Answer: b
explanation: i had the question on a test and got it right.
To find out the pressure in atm. You must divide 385 by 760. So pressure in atmospheres equals 385/760.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Chlorine is in group 7 or (VII) in Roman numerals, which means it has 7 balance electrons. It only needs one electron to become stable, hence it is next to the noble gases
