What does mean when it asks for the smaller ion

1 answer:

8 0

Explanation:

mg2+ would be the smaller ion this is because each ion has the same number of electrons however mg2+ has a greater number of protons and therefore is more charge dense and the outer electrons feel a greater pull from the nucleus.

I hope it's helpful!!

10 moles of H2 reacts with 5 moles of O2 creating 10 moles of water.
Water has the molar mass 18 g/mole
10 · 18g = 180 g
180 g of water can be produced from 10 moles of hydrogen gas.

Which of the following is false about a neutral atom of hydrogen?

Nesterboy [21]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A neutral hydrogen atom is defined as the atom in which electrons are resent in their ground state only.

Basically in a neutral atom electrons are present in their parent shell.

For example, atomic number of hydrogen is 1 and electronic configuration of a neutral atom of hydrogen is $1s^{1}$ .

Hence, it means there is only one electron present in its valence shell. So, in order to attain stability it will readily react with another atom to gain or share an electron.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement it is less chemically reactive than an atom of aluminum (Al), is false.
