Answer:
A positive ions is always smaller than the corresponding atom.
A negative ion is always larger than the corresponding atom.
Explanation:
The reason for this is that, when a positive ion is formed, a full shell is usually removed with its electrons thereby reducing the size of the electron cloud and decreasing the size of the electron cloud.
A negative ion is formed by addition of more electrons to the electron cloud hence it spreads out. Interelectronic repulsion accounts for the larger size of the negative ion.
Explanation:
With all the scaling up and design improvements, the flight range of the R-7 increased to an intercontinental distance from 330 kilometers for the V-2. The R-7 ended up looking oversized even next to its American contemporaries -- the Atlas and Titan ballistic missiles.
Answer:
Sodium reacts with the oxygen in air to form sodium oxide, and traces of yellowish sodium peroxide. ... Probably, the reaction with atmospheric oxygen will be faster, because I have never seen sodium metal turning whitish on exposure, though it does lose its lustre and and reactivity (just the surface).
