How does ionic radius differ from atomic radius?

Ionic radius is greater than atomic radius in a negative ion and less than it in a positive ion.


What is larger radius a sodium ion or chloride ion?

A chloride ion has a larger radius than a sodium ion, because the chloride has an additional complete valence shell of electrons compared to a sodium ion, but a sodium atom has lost the only electron in this valence shell that the sodium atom ever included to form a sodium ion.


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.


Arrange the following in order increasing ionic radius potassium ion sulfide ion chloride ion calcium ion?

Arsenic & Hydrxil ions


Why is the chloride ion larger than the chloride atom?

The chloride ion is an anion, having one more electron than the chlorine atom.


Why the radius of an atom larger than the radius a positive ion formed from it?

The positive ion lost an electron.


Does a sulfide ion have a bigger radius than a sulfur atom?

The nuclear charge is the same for both species, but the eight valence electrons in the sulfide ion experience a greater amount of electron-electron repulsion than do the six valence electrons in the neutral sulfur atom. This extra repulsion in the sulfide ion increases the average distance between the valence electrons, so the electron cloud around the sulfide ion has the greater 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


Which is larger ion chloride ion or oxygen ion?

Chloride ion is larger in size.


Is it true that a chlorine atom has one more electron than a chloride ion?

No. It is the other way around. The chloride ion has the extra electron.


Is chloride ion a compound?

No, the chloride ion is a single elemental ion, Cl-.


Which is stable chlorine ion or chlorine molecule?

Chlorine ion (particularly Chloride ion) is more stable than Chlorine molecule
