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

Chemistry
1 answer:
n200080 [17]3 years ago
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.

How did Niels Bohr describe electrons in his atomic model? Their energies can have any values. Their exact positions cannot be k
Fed [463]

Answer is: They orbit the central nucleus in discrete paths.

According to the Bohr model of the atom:

1. Electrons orbit the nucleus in orbits that have a set size and energy.

2. Energy levels of electrons are discrete (certain discrete values of energy).

3. Electrons can jump from one energy level to another, absorbing or emitting electromagnetic radiation with a frequency ν (energy difference of the levels).
