What is the molecular structure of sulfate ion?
Thr polyatomic anion sulfate has a central S atom surrounded by O atoms at the corners of a terrahedron. The bond lengths are all the same, the bond angles are 109.5 o
The central atom in the iodite ion IO2- is surrounded by?
The central atom in the hypothetical iodite ion would be surrounded by 10 electrons
An atom that gains an electron?
An atom that has gained an electron has a negative charge and is called an anion.
If an atom has four valence electrons is it an anion?
An anion is an ion with negative electrical charge.
Is it true that electronegativity is the ability of an anion to attract another anion?
Partially, electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons, there by becoming an anion.
The central atom in PH3 is surrounded by?
A PH3 molecule has a triangular pyramidal shape. The central atom is the Phosphorus atom, which is connected to three Hydrogen atoms.
What is the molecular structure of sulfate ion?
Thr polyatomic anion sulfate has a central S atom surrounded by O atoms at the corners of a terrahedron. The bond lengths are all the same, the bond angles are 109.5 o
The central atom in the iodite ion IO2- is surrounded by?
The central atom in the hypothetical iodite ion would be surrounded by 10 electrons
Is An anion is smaller than the atom from which it is produced?
No, an anion is the atom plus extra electrons which give that atom a negative charge. The anion is thus, always bigger than the original atom.
A phosphorus atom surrounded by four oxygen atoms is commomly called a?
A phosphorus atom surrounded by and chemically bonded to each of four oxygen atoms is commonly called a "phosphate ion" if it is a triply charged anion or a "phosphate group" if present in a covalently bonded compound.
An atom that gains an electron?
An atom that has gained an electron has a negative charge and is called an anion.
When the atom becomes an anion what happens to its radius?
The radius of an anion is bigger than the radius of a neutral atom.
What are anion type?
An anion is an atom with negative electrical charge.
Is anion a leaf?
An anion is an atom with a negative charge, not a leaf.
Why is the radius of anion more than the corresponding atom?
An anion has more electrons than a neutral atom.
If an atom gains electrons it become a?
If the atom was neutral, it becomes an anion. Since electrons have a (-) charge
What did Rutherford picture an atom as?
A short answer for the Rutherford atomic model: the atom is composed from a central part - a nucleus, positively charged, surrounded by electrons - very small negative charged particles.
