Which of the following statements correctly compares the relative size of an ion to its neutral atom?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Firlakuza [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When any neutral atom tends to gain an electron then it acquires a negative charge. This means that number of electrons has increased into the atom due to which its atomic radius will also increase.

On the other hand, when an atom tends to lose an electron then it acquires a positive charge. This means that number of electrons has decreases into the atom due to which its atomic radius will also decrease.

Thus, we can conclude that the radius of an anion is greater than the radius of its neutral atom.

Which two particles are always found in equal number in neutral atoms
AysviL [449]

Answer:

When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral.

I hope it helps.

Have a great day.

What is the nucleotide sequence of an mrna strand that has been transcribed from the dna sequence ggtagc?
lys-0071 [83]

CCAUCG  is the nucleotide sequence of an mrna strand that has been transcribed from the dna sequence ggtagc.

<h3>What is a nucleotide sequence?</h3>
  • Transfer RNAs interact with the ribosome system to translate a nucleic acid sequence, known as a messenger RNA or mRNA, into the protein it encodes.
  • Transfer RNAs partition the nucleic acid sequence into triplet codons, each of which specifies one amino acid, by binding to three nucleotides at once.
  • The sequence does not contain punctuation signals to indicate which reading frame should be used, hence the nucleic acid can be read in three different phases or reading frames depending on the point at which division into codons begins.
  • An addition or deletion in the nucleic acid sequence that changes the translation process from one reading frame to another is known as a frameshift mutation.

To know more about the nucleotide sequence, refer:
