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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Kay [80]3 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.

Explain how the copper could be in the lake sample near the picnic area but not have been detected by this test.
Masja [62]

Answer:

May be the instrument is incorrect or may be error in it.

Explanation:

The copper have not been detected by this test because the test may be not for the detection of copper, may be it is used for identification of another minerals. If there is copper in the lake sample but can't be detected in the test so it means that the instrument which is used for detection is not the right one  or having error in that instrument. Every mineral has a specific type of instrument that detect its presence, if we use incorrect instrument for the mineral then we can't detect the presence of that specific mineral.

How many moles of aluminum are equivalent to 4.816x10^24 atoms? 12.5 8 1.25 0.8
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

8

Explanation:

1 mole = 6.02 × 10²³ atoms

? moles = 4.816 × 10²⁴ atoms.

? Moles = 4.816 × 10²⁴ ÷ 6.02 × 10²³

? Moles = 8 moles

8 moles of aluminum = 4.816 × 10²⁴
