What else can I help you with?
When Mg forms an ion will the ion be smaller or longer than the atom?
The ion has a smaller diameter.
Is the size of a positive ion generally bigger or smaller than the size of the neutral form which it forms?
A positive ion is generally smaller in size than the neutral form from which it forms. This is because when an atom loses an electron to become a positive ion, the remaining electrons experience a stronger attraction to the nucleus, leading to a more compact arrangement.
What is smaller cell or atom?
An atom is smaller.
What is the hybridization of the central atom in BCl3?
The central atom in BCl3 is boron, which has only three valence electrons. Since it forms three bonds with the chlorine atoms, the hybridization of the central boron atom is sp2.
What is the hybridization of the central atom in NH2Cl?
The central atom in NH2Cl has sp3 hybridization. The nitrogen atom forms three sigma bonds with two hydrogen atoms and one chlorine atom, requiring the use of three atomic orbitals to form the hybrid orbitals.
What is smaller an atom or an atom's neutron?
The neutron is a part of the atom, therefore it is smaller.
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?
The chlorine atom becomes an ion with a larger radius when it forms an ionic bond with sodium. This is because it gains an electron and becomes a negatively charged ion, causing the electron cloud to expand.
When was our Universe smaller than an atom?
The Universe was never smaller than an atom.
How many electron pairs are on the boron atom in BCl3?
There are exactly three electron pairs attached to the Boron atom, each one of them bonded to a chlorine atom as well.
Is the atom that remains after the nucleus disintegrate larger of smaller than the original atom?
smaller
What part of an atom forms a nucleus?
The nucleus forms the centre of the atom. The protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of the atom.
How does the size change when an atom forms a cation and when an atom forms an anion?
A metal atom is smaller than the cation formed from it, because the electron(s) lost from a metal atom to form its cations are from the outermost electron shell or energy level of the atom. These electrons increase the size of the atom compared with the cation.
