How do you find ionic radius?
Atoms gain electrons and form negative charged ions and become larger. Increased distance= larger radius. On the periodic table, the left is the smaller positive ions. The right side is the larger negative ions.
Which has the smallest radius K Rb K Rb?
Potassium's atomic radius is smaller than rubidium's because potassium has fewer energy levels of electrons.
Is barium larger than aluminum yes or no?
a general answer is that if it is a cation the ion is smaller than the atom due to loosing one or more electrons which would decrease the size of the radius anions are larger because they are gaining more electrons and electron electron repulsion is greater which spreads the anion apart
Compared to a proton an electron has?
The same quantity of a charge and the opposite sign.
What makes an element have a smaller atomic radius the further right on the periodic table you go?
The larger the highest energy level, the larger the atomic radius.

Does an atom of fluorine have larger or smaller radius than an atom of iodine?
Smaller

Potassium's atomic radius is smaller than rubidium's because potassium has fewer energy levels of electrons.
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 happens to an atomic radius when an electrons is lost?
The positive ionic radius is smaller than the neutral atomic radius
What occurs to the radius when an atom loses an electron?
The negative ionic radius is larger than the neutral atomic radius
Why do elements get larger moving down a group?
Elements become larger in atomic radius because they have an increased number of electrons, which increases the level of shielding, which causes the nuclear influence to become less strong on the outer level of electrons allowing them to space farther apart.
Is a proton larger or smaller than an electron?
Protons have a larger mass, but it is unclear which (if either) have a larger radius. The electron does not seem to have ANY measurable radius.
Is barium larger than aluminum yes or no?
a general answer is that if it is a cation the ion is smaller than the atom due to loosing one or more electrons which would decrease the size of the radius anions are larger because they are gaining more electrons and electron electron repulsion is greater which spreads the anion apart
How does the presence of core electrons affect the atomic radius of elements?
When there is an anion (negative charge) the radius will be larger because it is more full whereas it will be smaller if it is a positive charge because of less electrons. ex largest to smallest radius (K-,K, K+)
What is the similarity ratio of a smaller cone with a height of 9 and a radius of 6 and a larger cone with a height of 15 and a radius of 10?
The smaller to the larger is a ratio of 6:10 or 3:5
Why does the metal's radius get smaller and the nonmetal's radius get larger during an ionic bond?
Because the metal loses an electron (making it smaller) and the non metal gains that electron, making it larger.
