Answer:
A positive ions is always smaller than the corresponding atom.
A negative ion is always larger than the corresponding atom.
Explanation:
The reason for this is that, when a positive ion is formed, a full shell is usually removed with its electrons thereby reducing the size of the electron cloud and decreasing the size of the electron cloud.
A negative ion is formed by addition of more electrons to the electron cloud hence it spreads out. Interelectronic repulsion accounts for the larger size of the negative ion.

Here's what I get
Explanation:
1. Nickel sulfate
base + acid ⟶ salt + water
NiSO₄ is a salt of the base Ni(OH)₂ and the acid sulfuric acid.
Hydroxides of transition metals are insoluble; most sulfates are soluble.
2. Carbonate + acid
Most carbonates are insoluble.
They react with acids to form carbonic acid (H₂CO₃), which decomposes into water and carbon dioxide.
Answer:
Explanation:
How many atoms are in a 3.5 g sample of sodium (Na)? In this example, multiply the grams of Na by the conversion factor 1 mol Na/ 22.98 g Na, with 22.98g being the molar mass of one mole of Na, which then allows cancelation of grams, leaving moles of Na.
