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.
What is the difference between iron atom and a sodium atom?
No difference. Invoking "element" simply refers to chemcial properties, and these are present in the atom as well.
Why is an iron atom a different element than a sodium atom?
An iron atom is a different element than a sodium atom because it has a different ground state electron configuration. In fact, any atom that differs from any other atom in ground state electron configuration is a different element.
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
What is larger radius a sodium ion or chloride ion?
A chloride ion has a larger radius than a sodium ion, because the chloride has an additional complete valence shell of electrons compared to a sodium ion, but a sodium atom has lost the only electron in this valence shell that the sodium atom ever included to form a sodium ion.
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.
What is larger n He atom or an Ne atom?
the sodium atom as it has a larger nucleus and more electrons.
What is the difference between iron atom and a sodium atom?
No difference. Invoking "element" simply refers to chemcial properties, and these are present in the atom as well.
Does a sodium atom have fewer neutrons in its nucleus than an iron atom?
Yes. Sodium has 12 neutrons whereas iron has 30 neutrons for their most stable isotpe.
Why is an iron atom a different element than a sodium atom?
An iron atom is a different element than a sodium atom because it has a different ground state electron configuration. In fact, any atom that differs from any other atom in ground state electron configuration is a different element.
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
What is larger radius a sodium ion or chloride ion?
A chloride ion has a larger radius than a sodium ion, because the chloride has an additional complete valence shell of electrons compared to a sodium ion, but a sodium atom has lost the only electron in this valence shell that the sodium atom ever included to form a sodium ion.
Which is larger a sodium atom or sodium ion with a plus 1 charge?
The sodium atom is much bigger than a sodium cation with a plus 1 charge, because the "lost" electron of the ion had a higher principal quantum number than any remaining electron in the ion and therefore was distributed through a larger volume of space than any of the remaining electrons.
Is sodium atom is a isolated atom?
yes sodiom atom is an isolated one it is the atom of sodium sodium chloride is salt
What is the smallest particle of the element iron that can still be classified as iron?
An iron atom is the smallest iron particle that still has the properties of iron.
Compared to the atomic radius of a sodium atom the atomic radius of a magnesium atom os smaller the smaller radius is primly a result of the magnesium atom having?
a larger nuclear charge
Is sodium an atom?
No. It is an element. Although you can have one atom of sodium.
