A negative ion is (larger/smaller) than its parent atom. Why?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Kay [80]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

When an atom attracts extra electrons it becomes a negative ion. The negative ion is larger than the original atom. The positive nucleus remains the same, with the same attractive force. However, this attractive force is now pulling on more electrons and therefore has less effect.

Or

Positive ions are formed by removing one or more electrons from the outermost region of the atom. The opposite is true of negative ions. When electrons are added to form an anion, the increased electron-electron repulsions cause the electrons to spread out more in space. Thus, anions are larger than their parent atoms.

The reaction below has an equilibrium constant kp=2.2×106 at 298 k. 2cof2(g)⇌co2(g)+cf4(g) calculate kp for the reaction below.
AnnZ [28]

<span>I believe the correct 2nd reaction is:</span>

cof2(g)⇌1/2 co2(g)+1/2 cf4(g)

where we can see that it is exactly one-half of the original

Therefore the new Kp is:

new Kp = (old Kp)^(1/2)

new Kp = (2.2 x 10^6)^(1/2)

<span>new Kp = 1,483.24 </span>

Explain why current flowing indicates the presence of ions
seraphim [82]

Explanation:

An electron current, the flow of electrons, contributes to an electric current since the electron 'carries' negative electric charge. ... The flow of ions (either positively or negatively charged) also contributes to an electric current in, for example, the electrolyte of an electrochemical cell.

hope it will work well?!
