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. =]
The size of the Radius of a positve ion is smaller than a neutral atom because the postive ion has lost electrons, which means the outer most shell might be lost as well making the positve ion smaller and the nuetral atom remains the same
When an atom becomes a cation, it loses one or more electrons, causing the outermost electron shell to contract. This contraction of the electron cloud results in a decrease in the atomic radius of the cation compared to the neutral atom.
neutral K atom has 19 electrons with electronic configuration of 2,8,8,1 but K +1 has 18 electrons with electronic configuration of 2,8,8. Thus removing an electron from neutral k atom means only 3 energy shells in k ion as compared to 4 shells in a neutral k atom. Lesser shells means more close to nucleus, thus more attraction by the nucleus which means smaller atomic size. It has one less shell containing electrons.
It is bigger. A kiloliter is 1,000 liters.
No, chlorine is smaller than oxygen. In the periodic table, chlorine (Cl) has fewer electrons and a smaller atomic radius compared to oxygen (O).
0 is a neutral number. zero is nor positive or negative because NEGITIVE being a number smaller than zero POSITIVE being a number bigger than zero so since zero isn't being smaller or bigger zero isn't positive or negative
bigger
It is bigger
Depends. If you are subtracting a bigger number from a smaller number, such as 3 - 5, you will get a negative result, -2. If you are subtracting a smaller number from a bigger number, such as 12 - 3 you will get a positive result, 9.
No, there isn't, because for every positive number x you find, you have x+1 which will be bigger. This will be the same for every negative number y: y-1 will be smaller. You do however have infinity and -infinity, which are bigger respectively smaller than any number. But they are generally not considered as numbers themselves.
no, all negative numbers are smaller than positive numbers
POSITIVE BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A SMALL NUMBER SO LIKE 16 MINUS -4 IT WOULD BE POSITIVE
Generally they are about 13 centimetres, can be smaller or bigger.
depends on the impact
Males are generally smaller in size than the females.
Always, and for all basic operations, EXCEPT when you are subtracting the bigger positive number from a smaller positive number.
You can subtract the second from the first and get a positive answer. So the first is bigger.
