Why is the size of an ion greater than its parent atom?
Only the anion is greater than the atom because gained an electron.
Why size of hydrogen ion is greater than its atom?
It is NOT greater. It is smaller. This is because the Hydrogen ion has lost its electron from the atom and is thus smaller. The hydrogen ion is a proton.
A negative ion is than its parent atom?
A negative ion is larger than its parent atom because of its additional electron(s).
What is the size of a proton in a beryllium atom?
The same size as it is in a Helium atom
Why is the radius of an atom of iodine greater than the radius of bromine atom?
An iodine atom has one more principal energy level than a bromine atom. Therefore the radius of an iodine atom is greater than the latter.
Why is the size of an ion greater than its parent atom?
Only the anion is greater than the atom because gained an electron.
Is the atomic size of magnesium atom greater than that of be?
If by Be you mean beryllium then yes.
Why size of hydrogen ion is greater than its atom?
It is NOT greater. It is smaller. This is because the Hydrogen ion has lost its electron from the atom and is thus smaller. The hydrogen ion is a proton.
What happens to atomic radius size of a cation and why?
The atomic radius of cation is smaller than its parent atom.This is because of the removal of electron from the parent atom.
Why is an anion larger than its parent atom?
The size of an anion is larger than its parent atom because anions are formed due to the gain of electrons. When the electrons increase, there are still the same number of protons. The attractive force is thus reduced as there are the same number of protons attracting an increased number of electrons. This causes the electrons to not be bound as tightly to the nucleus resulting in an increase in size. In other words, anions have one or more extra electrons that contribute to the size of the atom. These extra electrons increase its size and make it larger than the neutral atom.
What makes an iron atom have a greater mass than an aliminium atom?
The amount of protons in the nucleus of an iron atom is greater than in that of an aluminum atom.
What is a parent atom?
A parent atom is a term used to describe the original state of an atom or element before it undergoes a chemical change. For instance, it may be used when discussing radioactive decay. The original element would be the parent atom, and the element that results from the radioactive decay would be the daughter atom. It may also be used when discussing ions. The parent atom would be the element before it undergoes ionization, and the daughter atom would be the resulting cation or anion.
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. =]
Why the atomic size of argon is more than chlorine?
The size of argon is greater than chlorine because of the interelectronic repulsions start taking place when an atom attain its octet
A negative ion is than its parent atom?
A negative ion is larger than its parent atom because of its additional electron(s).
The volume of an atom is determined by the size of?
By the size of the atom and its mass
If the nucleus of an atom were the size of a marble then the atom itself would be the size of?
The atom itself would be the size of an NFL stadium.
