When nonmetals lose electrons and become positives does the size increase or decrease?

They begin to split, almost like a nuclear atom; the more you put on to it the more it splits

Is there any way to increase or decrease the energy possessed by electrons?
You can increase or decrease the kinetic energy of electrons by accelerating or decelerating them, which you can do with an electric field or by collisions. You can increase or decrease the electrical potential energy of electrons by causing them to move to positions with lower or higher voltage. To a very small extent you can increase or decrease the gravitational potential energy of electrons by causing them to move up or down in a gravitational field.
Will the number of lines in an atoms spectra increase or decrease as the number of electrons in an atom increase?
increase
Do valence electrons increase or decrease across the row of tables?
They increase from left to right.
Do metals or nonmetals tend to gain electrons more easily?
nonmetals are located in the right side of the periodic table. The Ionization energy(the amount of energy used to remove an electron) tends to increase from left to right across a period.It is difficult to remove the electrons from the right side because they are becoming stable
How can you can increase or decrease the energy possessed by electrons?
Electrons can absorb photons and gain energy, and they can emit photons and lose energy.
On the application of electric field to a conductor do the velocity of free electrons increase or decrease?
either is constant
When Ca undergoes oxidation does the number of neutrons increase?
Of course not. No change in neutrons. Number of electrons decrease
Why metals more lose electrons more easily than nonmetals?
nonmetals are located in the right side of the Periodic Table. The Ionization energy(the amount of energy used to remove an electron) tends to increase from left to right across a period.It is difficult to remove the electrons from the right side because they are becoming stable
Does a catalyst always increase the rate of reaction or it may decrease it also?
Yes, but those 'negative' catalysts are different compounds then the positives (=increasing rate). They are not that useful, so rather seldom used.
Does heat increase or decrease thermal energy?
increase
Does x increase or decrease making the y increase or decrease?
no. :)
What is the effect on the drift velocity of free electrons by decreasing the length and the temperature of wire?
As we know , resistance(R) is directly proportional to length(L) of conductor and resistence(R) is inversely proportional to current (I) and I=nAqv (v is drift velocity) So , if we decrease the length of the conductor , resistance of the conductor will decrease and current(I) will increase and drift velocity of free electrons will increase . And as we know resistance and temperature have direct relation so , by decreasing the temperature resistence will decrease and current will increase . So drift velocity will increase .
