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

Chemistry

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.

Cell notation will list each half-reaction:
likoan [24]

Answer:

on each side of the salt bridge, which is represented by a double vertical line

Explanation:

While writing a cell notation, the general convention is; anode || cathode. The anode and the cathode are separated by a double line. The anode is written on the lefthand side while the cathode is written on the righthand side.

The cell notation is a shorthand representation of a cell, hence any electrochemical cell can easily be produced based on its cell diagram.

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 30 and its mass number is 70?
Yanka [14]
The answer is 40.

We can solve this by finding out the number of protons, and neutrons. Atomic number of an element means the number of protons in that element. So, the atom has 30 protons if the atomic number is 30.

On the other hand, mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons, but not electrons, because they're too light comparing to the other 2. Therefore, we can simply solve the number of neutrons in the atom by subtracting the number of protons from the mass number. 70 - 30 = 40.

Therfore, the number of neutrons is 40.
