Best Answer

The carbon anion, or carbanion, has a lone pair of unbound electrons that give the carbon ion a negative charge....thus being an anion. Being that electrons do not add to the molecular weight of the ion, carbanion would still have a molecular weight of 12 and fluorine of 19. This is assuming that you are referring to the normal isotopes of carbon and fluorine.

When the atom becomes an anion what happens to its radius?

The radius of an anion is bigger than the radius of a neutral atom.


Is An anion is smaller than the atom from which it is produced?

No, an anion is the atom plus extra electrons which give that atom a negative charge. The anion is thus, always bigger than the original atom.


Does fluorine form a cation or a anion?

Fluorine is a neutral atom, though fluoride is an anion. Fluorine does not form cations, or any compound, complex ion, or coordinate complex in which it has a positive oxidation state, unlike the other halogens.


Why is fluoride ion larger than the fluorine atom?

The addition of an electron in Fluorine atom makes it fluoride ion so no of electrons are higher than protons , the extra electron produces repulsive force in outermost shell and electrons move away from nucleus and hence radius of electronic cloud is larger than fluorine atom.


How does the ionic radius of a typical anion compare with radius for corresponding neutral atom?

The anion is bigger. Because in an anion there are more electrons than protons in the nucleus, making the pull on the electrons weaker.


Which has larger atomic size F or F ion?

Ionization energy increase across a period and decreases down a group, therefore the the element with the greater ionization energy would be found in the top right of the periodic table. In this instance fluorine, F would have the greater ionization energy.


Why are bromine and iodine much denser than fluorine and chlorine?

Is an ion more powerful than an anion?

An anion IS an ion.


What is bigger radius from Oxygen negative and fluorine negative?

Oygen negative 02- has the bigger radius than F -. This is because oxygen has fewer protons attracting the same number of electrons.


Why cl2o is called dichlorine monoxide while f2o is called oxygen difluoride?

Fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen, so it's named as the anion. Chlorine is less electronegative than oxygen, so it's named as the cation.


How do you name the anion if it has more than 1 element?

This is a polyatomic anion.
