Oxygen is fairly smaller than Beryllium. The two have the same amount of orbital shells, but Oxygen has more protons, which pulls its electrons closer together, thus decreasing the overall size!

How does the size ofa negative ion compare to the size of the atom that formed it?

It is larger, because it has gained electrons.


How is the size of an anion different from the size of the atom from which it was formed?

Anion will have more electron than which atom it was form. So, after forming the the atom will have more electron cloud and size will be smaller compare to the original one.


How does the size if a negative ion compare to the size of the atom that formed it?

It will be have gained one electron. So, it will weigh 1/1875 unit more than the entire whole atom .


How does the size of a negative ion compare to the size of the atom that form?

The size of a negative ion is larger than atom. This makes more negative than positive, allowing the negative electrons to go farther from the nucleus.


How does the size of each compare with the size of the neutral atom form which it is formed?

A cation is smaller than the neutral atom because one electron is removed from the original atom to form it. An anion is larger than the neutral atom because one electron is added to the original atom to form it.


Compare a very large and a small atom in the large atom the outermost electron is farther away from the nucleus?

yes, if by larger you mean size/volume.


Why oxygen size is bigger then zn size in Zinc oxide structure?

In ZnO, Znic (Zn++) ionic radious is 74 pm while Oxygen(O2-) inoc radious is 126pm. As the ionic radious is large of the oxygen atom. So oxygen size is bigger than Zn size.


How does the size of an atomic nucleus compare with the size of the whole atom?

Think of the sun as the nucleus and the oort cloud (past pluto) as where the electron orbitals start. The size (volume) of the nucleus is tiny compared to the size (volume) of the atom (defined by the extent of the electron cloud).
