A cation has a smaller atomic radius compared with the neutral atom.
Potassium has the largest atomic radius.
The atomic radius gets larger toward the bottom left of the Periodic Table. In general, the radius gets smaller as you go from left to right across the same period and the radius gets larger as you go from top to bottom down the same group.
the atomic number is 2
The Na+ will have a larger size (atomic radius) while Mg2+ will have relatively smaller size. Both elements have lost their valence (outermost) electrons and achieve a stable octet state as ions. what makes a difference is the effective nuclear charge. because Mg has a higher nuclear charge, the valence electrons are pulled more towards the nucleus thereby reducing the atomic radius.
The atomic number of hydrogen is 1.
Potassium has the largest atomic radius.
Na has a higher atomic radius then Na+, since it still has it's outer electron (3s).
Radius of 'n'th orbit of hydrogen like species of atomic no.'z'
The first and third are quadratic expressions in x, the second is a quadratic expressions in n, and the fourth is a quadratic expressions in y. None of them are equations so cannot be solved.
The atomic radius gets larger toward the bottom left of the Periodic Table. In general, the radius gets smaller as you go from left to right across the same period and the radius gets larger as you go from top to bottom down the same group.
5x^2(x^2 + 5)
231 + 231 = 2 x 231 = 232
The neutral atom of potassium has the largest radius.
You fail SO badly. If we have x^4, the 4 is the exponent- the power to which a number is raised. It can be positive or negative.
Electron (beta minus) decay: the atomic mass remain approx. constant, the atomic number will be greater with 1 Positron (beta plus) and electron capture decay: the atomic mass remain approx. constant, the atomic number decrease with 1 Double beta decay: the atomic mass remain approx. constant, the atomic number will be greater with 2
the atomic number is 2
A potassium atom has 19 protons and 19 electrons, plus 20-22 neutrons. A rubidium atom has 37 protons and 37 electrons, plus 46-50 neutrons and so is bigger.
