Are electrons larger then molecules?
is it true electrons larger then molecules
Why are anions larger?
Anions have supplementary electrons.
When an atom lose or gain an electron?
If an atom gains an electron, it becomes an anion, which is negative. Anions are larger than the original atom because of the added electrons. N + electron(-) --> N(-) If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a cation and positively charged. Cations are smaller than the original atom because of the lost electrons. N(2+) = cation
Why does the size of the elements increase down a group?
The atomic numbers of the elements down a group increase. this means, more electrons. More electrons mean more shells. More shells mean larger radius. Larger radius is nothing but larger size. Thus, the number of electrons or shells is the reason why the size of the atom of elements increase down the group.
How do you rank configurations by atomic radius?
Nuclear radius increases as you go down and to the left on the periodic table due to effective nuclear charge. Bassicaly, it means that sheilding of electrons by larger atoms having more things in the way that blocks the ability of the nucleus to pull on the electrons, thus the electrons are able to be further from the nucleus and have a larger radius.
When electron transfer results in an ion larger than the original atom?
An atom that has gained one or more electrons, becoming a negative ion, is larger than its parent atom.
Are electrons larger then molecules?
is it true electrons larger then molecules
Are electrons larger than neutrons and protons?
no. protons and neutrons are MUCH larger than electrons.
How is direct population transfer different from indirect population transfer?
Direct population transfer is the loss of population as calculated by the exact number of members that have left for any cause. Indirect transfer is extrapolated based on the known reproduction and death rates, including descendants of the original population resulting in a larger figure.
When phosphorus becomes phosphide what happens to radius?
The radius of any anion is larger than the original neutral atom. So phosphide (P^3-) which as gained 3 electrons, has a larger radius than phosphorous (P).
Electrons shared in a molecule are held where to the atoms with the larger nucleus?
Electrons shared in a molecule are held more closely to the atom with the larger nucleus
Do thin wires have smaller electrons and large wires have larger sized electrons?
No. Electrons are all the same size
Why are anions larger?
Anions have supplementary electrons.

Are electrons larger than protrons?
No. Actually electrons are almost 2,00X smaller. About 1,600 or something.
What is larger n He atom or an Ne atom?
the sodium atom as it has a larger nucleus and more electrons.
