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.
A large volume of material will have a small amount of mass when the
material in question is gaseous or porous, and therefore has a lot of
space within it despite taking up a large amount of space overall.

Hello there!
In this case, since the reaction between lead (II) nitrate and potassium bromide is:
Exhibits a 1:2 mole ratio of the former to the later, we can calculate the moles of lead (II) bromide product to figure out the limiting reactant:
Thus, the limiting reactant is the KBr as it yields the fewest moles of PbBr2 product. Afterwards, we calculate the mass of product by using its molar mass:
And the resulting percent yield:
Regards!
Answer:
Elements
Explanation:
The <u> elements</u> which are represented by a single uppercase letter, or represented by an uppercase letter followed by a lowercase letter. This tells you the types of <u>elements</u> in the compound.
Elements are one of the simplest chemical substances that cannot be decomposed in a chemical reaction or by any chemical means. They are made up of small indivisible particles called atoms, all having the same number of protons.
<span>The cell would swell and burst, because the 20% salt solution is hypotonic with respect to the cell, causing a net movement of water into the cell. Example, water moves from the blood filtrate that will form urine. The same will do while pure water moved to seawater.</span>
