In a reaction, chlorine accepts an electron to form Cl-. What is true about the atomic size of the chlorine ion?

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.

What is the volume occupied by 4.20 miles of oxygen gas (O2) at STP

Drupady [299]

Answer: 94.13 L

Explanation: In STP in an ideal gas there is a standard value for both temperature and pressure. At STP,pressure is equal to 1atm and the temperature at 0°C is equal to 273.15K. This problem is an ideal gas so we use PV=nRT where R is a constant R= 0.08205 L.atm/mol.K.

To find volume, derive the equation, it becomes V=nRT/P. Substitute the values. V= 4.20 mol( 0.08205L.atm/mol.K)(273.15K) / 1 atm = 94.13 L. The mole units, atm and K will be cancelled out and L will be the remaining unit which is for volume.

If metal ions in a solution were reduced, what would you expect to see?

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Solid metal

Explanation:

The reduced form of metal ions is the metal in elemental state (simple substance). So, if you have a solution with metal ions and they are reduced, you probably will see the deposition of the metal. For example: if you have a solution with sodium ions (Na⁺), and the ions are then reduced, you will see the aparition of a solid phase of metallic sodium (Na(s)), according to the following half-reaction:

Na⁺ + e- → Na(s)
