A negative ion is than its parent atom?
A negative ion is larger than its parent atom because of its additional electron(s).
Why the radius of an atom larger than the radius a positive ion formed from it?
The positive ion lost an electron.
Is a chlorine atom or chlorine ion bigger?
A sulfur atom is larger than an oxygen atom.
A calcium atom is larger than a calcium ion because?
When it becomes an ion it is loosing electrons causing the effective nuclear charge to increase which draws the remaining electrons in closer which makes the ion smaller than the atom.
Which atom or ion in each what pairs would you expect to be larger H or H?
The size will be H- ion > H atom > H+ ion
When electron transfer results in an ion larger than the original atom?
An atom that has gained one or more electrons, becoming a negative ion, is larger than its parent atom.
When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of sodium does the atom of chlorine become an ion with a smaller or larger radius than the atom of chlorine?
It becomes an ion with a larger radius than the atom of chlorine
Is the size of a positive ion generally bigger or smaller than the size of the neutral form which it forms?
We are working on this in Physical Science class. A negative ion is larger then its parent atom. A positive ion is smaller then its parent atom. =]
A negative ion is than its parent atom?
A negative ion is larger than its parent atom because of its additional electron(s).
What one is larger a chlorine atom or a chloride ion?
anion is always larger than its parent atom
Is a negative ion larger or smaller than its parent atom?
Larger because a negative ion contains more electrons than its parent atom therefore it is larger. A positive ion would be smaller because it has less electrons than its parent atom.
Why is the chloride ion larger than the chloride atom?
The chloride ion is an anion, having one more electron than the chlorine atom.
Why the radius of an atom larger than the radius a positive ion formed from it?
The positive ion lost an electron.
Is a sodium atom is larger than a silicon atom?
No. A cesium atom is larger both in terms of atomic mass and atomic radius.
Is a ion larger or smaller than its parent atom?
A negative ion would be considered larger than its parent atom. This is because electrons have mass, which makes the ions gain mass to outgrow their parent atoms.
When iodine becomes an ion is the ion larger or smaller?
Iodine gains one electron to form iodide ion. The size of iodide ion is larger than the size of iodine atom.
Why is fluoride ion larger than the fluoride atom?
Because it has an extra electron
