When a neutral atom that has a charge of negative absorbs an electron, this tends to lessen the size of the ion. The larger the negative charge of the negatively charged element, the smaller the size of the ion will be. Hence the answer is that the ion will have a smaller size than the neutral atom

Answer is: The atomic size of the chlorine ion is larger than the size of the chlorine atom.

Covalent radii of chlorine atom (Cl) is 0.099 nm and ionic radii of chlorine anion (Cl⁻) is 0.181 nm.

Difference between an chlorine atom and chlorine anion is the number of electrons that surround the nucleus.

Chlorine atom has 17 electrons and chlorine anion has 18 electrons.

Describe some of the practical uses of controlled fission reactions.
Katarina [22]
By the process of Nuclear Fission:
1) We Generate Electricity. - If the process is controlled, then we can do this. It's very better way to generate electricity. 'cause of it's many advantages, all nation wants to enhance their electricity production through this mean.

2) We Create explosive. - Again, with the help of nuclear fission we can create certain helpful bombs like Atom Bomb which will help us in war.

Hope this helps!

Write a balanced half-reaction for the oxidation of solid manganese dioxide to permanganate ion in basic aqueous solution. Be su
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

8 OH⁻(aq) + Mn(s) ⇒ MnO₄⁻(aq) + 4 H₂O(l) + 7 e⁻

Explanation:

Let's consider the following oxidation half-reaction that takes place in basic aqueous solution.

Mn(s) ⇒ MnO₄⁻(aq)

First, we will perform the mass balance. We will add 4 H₂O to the products side and 8 OH⁻ to the reactants side.

8 OH⁻(aq) + Mn(s) ⇒ MnO₄⁻(aq) + 4 H₂O(l)

Finally, we will perform the charge balance by adding 7 electrons to the products side.

8 OH⁻(aq) + Mn(s) ⇒ MnO₄⁻(aq) + 4 H₂O(l) + 7 e⁻
