The Aufbau principle states that, hypothetically, electrons orbiting one or more atoms fill the lowest available energy levels before filling higher levels (e.g., 1s before 2s). In this way, the electrons of an atom, molecule, or ion harmonize into the most stable electron configuration possible.
3 ethyl, 4 methylheptane. The compound is named by first identifying the longest carbon chain in the structure. in this case the chain has seven carbon atoms thus the prefix hept-.
Next you identify the substituent groups attached to the long carbon chain and name them from the lowest value of the integer assigned to the carbon atoms from either side. From the right, the ethyl group is attached to carbon number 3 while from the left, the methyl group is attached to carbon number 4. We therefore start with the right and name the attached groups first, including the carbon atoms to which they are attached.
Then we also take into consideration the highest number of bonds between the carbon atoms which is one from the question. Thus the suffix -ane is added if a maximum of one bond, -ene,if two bonds and -yne if three bonds.
The question requires us to explain the differences in radii of neutral atoms, cations and anions.
To answer this question, we need to keep in mind that a neutral atom presents the same number of protons (positive particles) and electrons (negative particles). Another important information is that the protons are located in the nucleus of the atom, while the electrons are around the nucleus. Also, there is an electrostatic force between protons and electrons, which means that they the protons tend to attract the electrons to the nucleus.
While a neutral atom presents the same number of protons and electrons, a cation is an ion with positive charge, which means it has lost one or more electrons. In a cation, the balance between protons and electrons doesn't exist anymore: now, there is more positive than negative charge (more protons than electrons), and the overall attractive force that the protons have for the electrons is increased. As a result, the electrons stay closer to the nucleus and the radius of a cation is smaller than the neutral atom from which it was derived.
On the other side, anions present negative charge, which means they have received electrons. Similarly to cations, the balance between protons and electrons doesn't exist anymore, but in this case, there are more electrons than protons. In an anion, the overall attractive force that the protons have for the electrons is decreased. As a result, the electrons are "more free" to move and, as they are not so attracted to the nucleus, they tend to stay farther from the positive nucleus compared to the neutral atom - because of this, the radius of an anion is larger than the neutral atom from which it was derived.
