How does the size of a magnesium ion with a 2 positive charge compare with that of a sodium ion with a single positive charge?

A magnesium ion will be smaller because there will be a greater Zeff on the electrons in the magnesium ion due to a greater number of protons in the nucleus.

What particle has a single electric charge It is part of the nucleus of an atom called?
A single positive charge in the nucleus is the proton
Are electrons positively charged?
Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charge and neutrons have no charge.
How can you compare atom and cation?
An atom is a neutral structure consisting of a single nucleus with its orbiting electrons. A cation is a positively charged structure consisting of a single nucleus with its orbiting electrons. The major difference between an atom and a cation is that the cation has lost one or more electrons and therefore has a positive charge overall.
Would magnesium nitrate react with magnesium?
Yes, aluminum is more electronegative than magnesium thus, resulting in a single displacement reaction. The products would be magnesium + aluminumnitrate
How many electrons do magnesium lend?
Magnesium is a metal element. There are 12 electrons in a single atom.
What elements are in magnesium nitride?
Nitride is an ion consisting of a single nitrogen atom with a 3- charge. This must be balanced by a positive ion, usually a metal ion. What metal it is can vary.
Infer Magnesium and sodium atoms are about the same size How does the size of a magnesium ion with a 2 charge compare with that of a sodium ion with a single charge?
The sodium ion will be larger. Because magnesium has one more proton than sodium, its nuclei pull harder on the electrons, reducing the ion's radius. This means that the magnesium ion is smaller.
How many electrical charges are in protons?
A proton has single positive charge neutrons have no charge and a electron has a single negative charge
What particle has a single electric charge It is part of the nucleus of an atom called?
A single positive charge in the nucleus is the proton
Which is the charge for the Ammonium ion?
Ammonium ion has a single positive charge. + ie NH4
What does a protons Carry?
A single positive charge, (elementary charge, e, value, 1.602176565(35)×10−19 coulombs).the electron has an equal and opposite charge.
What is an electric monopole?
A single point charge, may be positive or negative.
What would be the charge of an atom with 6 protons and 4 electrons?
Each proton is a single positive charge. Each electron is a single negative charge. Therefore: 6 + (-4) = +2
What charge will a Sodium atom have if it loses one electron?
The Sodium atom with be positively charged [it will have a single positive charge]
How can atoms be neutral if they have charged particles?
because in their neutral state the number of positive particles is equal to the number of negative particles and the magnitude of a single positive charge is the same as the magnitude of a single negative charge in short the positive and negative charges cancel each other out
Is a proton a single charge of positive energy?
A proton is made of two Up Quarks with a 2/3 positive charge, and one Down Quark with a 1/3 negative charge. So this gives it a net charge of 1.
Describe the three types of small particles within an atom and explain how they are arranged?
Protons have a single unit of positive electrical charge (+) Electrons have a single unit of negative electrical charge (-) Neutrons have no electrical charge
