Is halide atom larger than the halide ion?
Yes
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
Is a chlorine atom or chlorine ion bigger?
A sulfur atom is larger than an oxygen atom.
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 halide atom larger than the halide ion?
Yes
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.
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
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. =]
The size of Cl- ion is larger than Cl atom?
As one electron is addded to the clorine, repulsion among the electrons are higher => and repulsion makes the clorine anion bigger.
How does the size ofa negative ion compare to the size of the atom that formed it?
It is larger, because it has gained electrons.
Is a chlorine atom or chlorine ion bigger?
A sulfur atom is larger than an oxygen atom.
How does the size of a negative ion compare to the size of the atom that form?
The size of a negative ion is larger than atom. This makes more negative than positive, allowing the negative electrons to go farther from the nucleus.
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.
How does the size of a negative ion compare to the size of the atom that formed it?
A cation is smaller than the neutral atom because one electron is removed from the original atom to form it. An anion is larger than the neutral atom because one electron is added to the original atom to form it.
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
