Formaldehyde is an organic compound.
Answer:
1) increases
2) smaller
Explanation:
Generally, as electron- electron repulsion increases and more electrons are added to the atom while Z is held constant, the electron cloud size is increased. The size of the anion formed is usually measured as the size of this extended electron cloud. Hence the larger electron cloud means a larger anion size compared to the size of the neutral atom.
For a cation, the converse is true and the cation is found to be smaller than the neutral atom.
The answer is: lose electrons and form positive ions.
Most metals have strong metallic bond, because of strong electrostatic attractive force between valence electrons (metals usually have low ionization energy and lose electrons easy) and positively charged metal ions.
The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).
For example, magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.
Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.
I think Geothermal but I’m not 100% sure
