Pauling ionic radius pm of sodium?
The Pauling ionic radius of the sodium ion is 95.
Is sodium carbonate a covalent or ionic compound?
sodium on its own is neither it is simply an element. When in a compound it will always be ionic as sodium is a metal
Is sodium iodide iodide ionic or covalent?
Sodium iodide, like all sodium compounds, is ionic.
What happens to the atomic radius when an electron is lost?
the positive ionic radius is smaller than the neutral atomic radius
Is sodium nitride ionic?
Yes. Sodium nitride is ionic as are all sodium compounds.
Pauling ionic radius pm of sodium?
The Pauling ionic radius of the sodium ion is 95.
Why do chloride ions have a smaller ionic radius than sodium ions?
They do not. Sodium ions have a smaller ionic radius than chloride ions. This is because with the chloride ion, the 17 protons have more difficulty attracting 18 electrons in the Cl- ion than sodium does with 11 protons and only 10 electrons to attract with the Na+ ion. With sodium there is 1/11= 10% more attraction (by excess) than in neutral state and hence a smaller ionic radius. With chlorine 1/17= 5.5% less attraction by proton 'shortage' and hence a larger ionic radius. At the related link there are diagrams of sodium chloride showing the larger size of the chloride ion.
Is sodium carbonate a covalent or ionic compound?
sodium on its own is neither it is simply an element. When in a compound it will always be ionic as sodium is a metal
Is sodium chloride an ionic or covalent bond?
Sodium chloride is ionic
What has the smalled ionic radius?
The Hydrogen Ion has the smallest ionic radius.
Is sodium iodide iodide ionic or covalent?
Sodium iodide, like all sodium compounds, is ionic.
Is sodium chloride ionic or covalent?
No, but the bond in sodium chloride is covalent.
Is sodium carbinate ionic or covalent?
Sodium carbonate is ionic as are all sodium compounds
Is sodium nitride ionic?
Yes. Sodium nitride is ionic as are all sodium compounds.
What happens to the atomic radius when an electron is lost?
the positive ionic radius is smaller than the neutral atomic radius
Sodium bromide covalent or ionic?
NaBr is an ionic compound. Generally, a metal bonded with a nonmetal forms an ionic compound. Also, the difference in electronegativity between Na and Br is 2.03, which is definitely ionic.
What is the definition of ionic radius?
The ionic radius is the measure of an atom's ion in a crystal lattice. The value for an ionic radius is typically 30 pm to about 200 pm. An ionic radius is usually measured using x-ray crystallography.
