Compare the size of the radius of a negative ion to its neutral atom?
The size of the Radius of a positve ion is smaller than a neutral atom because the postive ion has lost electrons, which means the outer most shell might be lost as well making the positve ion smaller and the nuetral atom remains the same
When an atom becomes a cation what happens to it's radius?
The atomic radius of a cation is smaller than that of its original atom. See the related link for an image example of what this may look like.
Is a kiloliter smaller or bigger than a liter?
It is bigger. A kiloliter is 1,000 liters.
Why is the ionic radius of Na positive less than F negative?
F has one extra electron, which will goes in outer layer making F bigger. Na has one less electron, which will cause its size to get smaller.
Is an atom bigger than a mole?
An atom is a component of matter; mole is a unit for the amount of substance in SI. Of course a mole of atoms is bigger than a single atom.
Is zero a positive or negative?
0 is a neutral number. zero is nor positive or negative because NEGITIVE being a number smaller than zero POSITIVE being a number bigger than zero so since zero isn't being smaller or bigger zero isn't positive or negative
Is positive two bigger or smaller or the same as negative eight?
bigger
Is a positive number bigger or smaller than a negative number?
It is bigger
What do you get when you subtract a positive from a positive?
Depends. If you are subtracting a bigger number from a smaller number, such as 3 - 5, you will get a negative result, -2. If you are subtracting a smaller number from a bigger number, such as 12 - 3 you will get a positive result, 9.
Is there smallest neggative number and largest positive number?
No, there isn't, because for every positive number x you find, you have x+1 which will be bigger. This will be the same for every negative number y: y-1 will be smaller. You do however have infinity and -infinity, which are bigger respectively smaller than any number. But they are generally not considered as numbers themselves.
Is 7.98 bigger or smaller than 7.89?
You can subtract the second from the first and get a positive answer. So the first is bigger.
Is a negative integer bigger then a positive integer?
no, all negative numbers are smaller than positive numbers
If the bigger number is positive and the smaller number is a negative. Would the answer be a negative or a positive?
POSITIVE BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A SMALL NUMBER SO LIKE 16 MINUS -4 IT WOULD BE POSITIVE
