Metal ions are smaller than the neutral atoms they came from.
What else can I help you with?
What conclusions can we make about the size of cations neutral atoms and anions?
Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.
Are electrons lost more easily in larger or smaller atoms?
The positive charges in a atom, concentrated in its nucleus, can more strongly attract electrons from the outside environment because the positive charges are closer to the outside environment in smaller atoms and their attraction is less "screened" by electrons already in the atom, as smaller neutral atoms have smaller number of such electrons than larger neutral atoms. However, note that this principle applies most effectively only down periodic table columns, and other factors such as electron configuration can outweigh the effect of size. For example, hydrogen is smaller than fluorine but has lower electron affinity.
Are cells smaller thsn atoms?
Larger
Are metals neutral charged atoms surrounded by free electrons?
Yes, it is true.
Are cations larger or smaller than the neutral atoms they came from?
They are smaller and this is why: There are less electrons to be attracted by the same original positive charge of the nucleus. (For negative ions it's just the other way around.)
Are atoms of nonmetals among the largest atoms?
Atoms of nonmetals tend to be smaller than atoms of metals in the same period.
What are smaller than cells but larger than atoms?
Molecules are smaller than cells but larger than atoms. They are composed of atoms bonded together to form a distinct structure.
Why do smaller atoms exhibit higher ionization energy compared to larger atoms?
Smaller atoms have higher ionization energy compared to larger atoms because smaller atoms have a stronger attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electrons, making it harder to remove an electron from a smaller atom.
Does chlorine atom has a smaller radius than chlorine ion?
Yes, considerably so. In general, positive ions are smaller than their neutral atoms, and negative ions are larger than their neutral atoms.
Are non metallic ions smaller than the atoms?
no they are larger
Does Br- Br I or I- have the smallest radius?
Neutral atoms are smaller than negatively charged ions of the same element.Bromine is smaller than iodine.So neutral bromine would have the smallest radius of the species listed.
Why is a bromide ion larger than a bromine atom?
Bromide ions are larger than bromine atoms because the ion has one more electron than the neutral atom. The extra electron is less tightly bound than the other electrons because it experiences a smaller effective nuclear charge. Other anions are also larger than their corresponding atoms for the same reason; cations, on the other hand, are smaller than their corresponding atoms because they have fewer electrons.
