Compare a sodium ion and neutral sodium atom in size. what causes the size difference

Chemistry

4 0
A cation is smaller than its parent atom.
Therefore, here a sodium ion is smaller than the neutral sodium atom.

Reason: Since the sodium atom loses an electron to form an electropositive ion(cation), its nuclear charge increases(the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons) and the orbital electrons are pulled with a greater energy.
Thus,the sodium ion shrinks in size.

Express 749 000 000 in scientific notation,
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

7.49 × 108

Explanation:

Scientific notation is a way to express numbers in a form that makes numbers that are too small or too large more convenient to write. It is commonly used in mathematics, engineering, and science, as it can help simplify arithmetic operations. In scientific notation, numbers are written as a base, b, referred to as the significant, multiplied by 10 raised to an integer exponent, n, which is referred to as the order of magnitude:

What is the acceleration object velocity of +25m/s to rest in 5.0 s
Irina-Kira [14]

The average acceleration is -5.0 m·s⁻².

The formula for acceleration (<em>a</em>) is

a = \frac{v_{f}- v_{i}}{t}

v_{f} = 25 m·s⁻¹;  v_{i} = 0; t = 5.0 s

∴ a = \frac{0-25}{5.0} = -5.0 m·s⁻²

The negative sign tells you that the object is <em>slowing down</em>, i.e., it is <em>decelerating</em>.

A balloon is filled to a volume of 1.50 L with 3.00 mol of gas at 25 C. with pressure and temperature held constant, what will b
bixtya [17]

Answer:

3.2L

Explanation:

PV=nRT

since pressure and temperature are held constant we have V=nR

R is a constant also,

Thus; \frac{v1}{n1}=\frac{v2}{n2}

v1=1.5L  , n1=3mol, n2=1.4mol

\frac{1.5}{3}=\frac{v2}{1.4}

v2=\frac{1.5}{3}*1.4

v2=3.2L
