Radius of the positive ion will be smaller than the radius of its parent atom.
<h3>Explanation</h3>
Sodium Na has atomic number 11. A neutral Na atom has 11 electrons. It has
- 2 electrons in the first main shell,
- 8 electrons in the second main shell, and
- 1 electron in the third main shell.
Na tends to lose one electron. It would form an Na⁺ ion. The ion is positive and has ten electrons. It has
- 2 electrons in the first main shell, and
- 8 electrons in the second main shell.
Three of the main shells of Na contain electrons. Only two main shells contain electrons in Na⁺. The energy of the second main shell is higher than the first. It is more distant from the nucleus than the first electron shell. Similarly, the third main shell is further away from the nucleus than the second.
The outermost shell in Na is the third main shell. The outermost shell in Na⁺ is the second main shell. As a result, the outermost electrons in Na are further away from the nucleus that electrons in Na⁺. As a result, the radius of Na appears to be larger than that of Na⁺.
When an atom loses electrons to form a positive cation, it tends to lose all electron in its outermost shell (the valence shell). That will give the ion an octet, which is more stable than having one or two electrons left in the valence shell. The rule on Na shall still apply. The positive ion will have one less main shell; its radius shall be smaller than that of the parent atom.
Answer:
The part that is put in the same time as ruthenium, but has a greater number of atoms than silver.
Answer:
METHOD 1: (surface area of a solid reactant) METHOD 2: (concentration or pressure of a reactant)
Explanation:
METHOD 1: (surface area of a solid reactant) Increasing the surface area of a solid reactant exposes more of its particles to attack. This results in an increased chance of collisions between reactant particles, so there are more collisions in any given time and the rate of reaction increases.
METHOD 2: (concentration or pressure of a reactant) Increasing the concentration means that we have more particles in the same volume of solution. This increases the chance of collisions between reactant particles, resulting in more collisions in any given time and a faster reaction. As we increase the pressure of reacting gases, we increase the rate of reaction.
Answer:
The dots were not properly located and arrows are not used in Lewis structures
Explanation:
If we intend to write a Lewis structure for a compound, that lewis structure must consist of only dots. These dots actually show the valence electrons on the outermost shell of the molecule.
We do not involve arrows when writing dot electron structures for compounds. The valence electrons of magnesium ought not to be written together because they are not a lone pair, rather they are two unpaired electrons. The use of an arrow suggests a coordinate covalent bond which is not the case here.
The correct lewis structure for MgCl2 is shown in the image attached to this answer.
Anomalous data on a graph would show up as say a very high or very low value which does not fit in with the normal values which may be background values.If it was a straight line graph then the anomalous point would plot well above or below the line or if it was a bar graph ie a histogram it would be much higher or lower than the surrounding data. In mineral exploration, anomalies are looked for in say geophysics or geochemistry data values for high or low magnetism or conductivity or high chemical values indicating the presence of valuable minerals at that point.
