What can be concluded if an ion of an element is smaller than an atom of the same element?

If an ion of an element is smaller than an atom of the same element, it suggests that the ion has lost electrons compared to the neutral atom. When electrons are lost, the outer electron shell contracts, making the ion smaller. This typically occurs when an element forms a positive ion by losing one or more electrons.


A binary compound with a more positive or basic element or radical?

In a binary compound, the element that is more positive or basic is typically listed first in the chemical formula. This element is usually a metal or a positively charged ion, while the element listed second is often a nonmetal or a negatively charged ion. The more positive element is usually the one that forms cations in chemical reactions.
