Why do atoms of different elements vary in size?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Usimov [2.4K]2 years ago

Answer:

As you go down the periodic table, usually atoms get bigger because n gets bigger (there are electrons in higher shells). Effective nuclear charge does get bigger too going down the periodic table, but this effect is smaller than the change in shell.

The amount of which subatomic particle is different between an atom and its ion?
11111nata11111 [884]
There are three subatomic particles known: (1) electron which is found outside the nucleus of an atom and (2 and 3) protons and neutrons which are both inside the nucleus. As they are outside the nucleus, it is easier to transport electron than any other subatomic particle. Thus, atom and its ion differ in the number of electrons.

How many moles are equal to 1.3 x 1024 atoms of aluminum?
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2.16 moles</h3>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L}  \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{1.3 \times  {10}^{24} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  \\  = 2.159468...

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.16 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

How many protons and electrons are present in Au+?
balandron [24]

Answer:

Protons: 79

Electrons: 78

Explanation:

1. The number of protons is the atomic number (The atomic number for Au on the periodic table is 79)

2. Since the charge is +1 (positive) it means that there's one more proton than electrons. So, 79-1 = 78 electrons

The coordination sphere of a complex consists of ________. The coordination sphere of a complex consists of ________. the ligand
sammy [17]

Answer:

The coordination sphere of a complex consists of <u><em>the central metal ion and the ligands bonded to it.</em></u>

Explanation:

The Coordination Compounds are sets of a central metal ion attached to a group of molecules or ions that surround it. They are also called metal complexes or simply complexes. Then they are compounds that have a central atom surrounded by a group of molecules or ions, the latter called ligands.

The central atom must have empty orbitals capable of accepting pairs of electrons, with the transition metals being the ones with the greatest tendency. Because of this, they can act as Lewis acids (electron pair acceptors). The ligands have unshared electron pairs, then acting as Lewis bases (electron pair donors).

When forming a complex, it is said that the ligands coordinate to the metal and the central metal and the ligands attached to it constitute the coordination sphere of the complex.

Finally, <u><em>the coordination sphere of a complex consists of the central metal ion and the ligands bonded to it.</em></u>
