Why is nitrogen ion larger than fluoride ion?
The nitride ion has a larger negative charge than the fluoride ion and a smaller positive charge in its nucleus, which means a greater repulsion within the electron shells and a lesser attraction to the nucleus.
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. =]
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.
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.
Which is larger ion chloride ion or oxygen ion?
Chloride ion is larger in size.

Is potassium ion larger then a potassium atom?
No, it is smaller
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.
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 do smaller highly charged ions have a greater affinity for an ion exchange column than larger ions with a smaller charge?
it is the governments fult
Which is larger ion chloride ion or oxygen ion?
Chloride ion is larger in size.
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 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 a nitrogen atom is converted into an ion what is the name of the ion?
It is called a Nitride Ion
When Mg forms an ion will the ion be smaller or longer than the atom?
The ion has a smaller diameter.
What is going to happen to the size of a positive ion as compared to the original atom?
The positive ion has donated an electron to another atom making the other atom a negative ion and much larger in radius. The positive ion is now much smaller in radius.
