What one is larger a chlorine atom or a chloride ion?
anion is always larger than its parent atom
What is bigger a chlorine atom or a chlorine ion?
A chloride ion is slightly larger than a chlorine atom, because in an ion there is one more electron than proton, allowing the electron shells to expand slightly. In a chlorine atom, the number of electrons and protons is the same.
Which is larger ion chloride ion or oxygen ion?
Chloride ion is larger in size.
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.
What does a chloride ion have that a chlorine atom does not?
The chloride ion has an electron in plus.
What one is larger a chlorine atom or a chloride ion?
anion is always larger than its parent atom
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.
Is a chlorine atom or chlorine ion bigger?
A sulfur atom is larger than an oxygen atom.
What is bigger a chlorine atom or a chlorine ion?
A chloride ion is slightly larger than a chlorine atom, because in an ion there is one more electron than proton, allowing the electron shells to expand slightly. In a chlorine atom, the number of electrons and protons is the same.
Which is larger ion chloride ion or oxygen ion?
Chloride ion is larger in size.
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.
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 does a chloride ion have that a chlorine atom does not?
The chloride ion has an electron in plus.
Is the size of a positive ion generally bigger or smaller than the size of the neutral form which it forms?
We are working on this in Physical Science class. A negative ion is larger then its parent atom. A positive ion is smaller then its parent atom. =]
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.
A negative ion is than its parent atom?
A negative ion is larger than its parent atom because of its additional electron(s).
Is a negative ion larger or smaller than its parent atom?
Larger because a negative ion contains more electrons than its parent atom therefore it is larger. A positive ion would be smaller because it has less electrons than its parent atom.
