Yes, because anions are always bigger than the atom in its ground state. Cations are smaller

Place the following atoms or ions in order of increasing radius O O2- S2- and Se2-?

O, O2-, S2-, and Se2-O is smaller than O2- because O2- has 2 extra electrons but the same amount of protons as O, so they are held less tightly and the atom is bigger. Atom size increases as you move down the periodic table, so O2- < S2- < Se2-.


Why does the ionic radius of N3 than that of O2-?

The ionic radius of N3- is larger than that of O2- because the extra electron in the N3- ion is located in a higher energy level, leading to larger electron-electron repulsions and an increase in the ionic radius. Additionally, the effective nuclear charge experienced by the electrons in the N3- ion is lower than that in the O2- ion, further contributing to the larger ionic radius of N3-.


Which has the larger London dispersion forces O2 or N2?

O2 has stronger London dispersion forces than N2 because O2 has more electrons, which allows for greater polarization and stronger temporary dipoles. This results in stronger attractive forces between O2 molecules compared to N2 molecules.

Is O2 a compound molecule or atom?

O is an atom, but O2 is a molecule.


Which is larger ion chloride ion or oxygen ion?

The chloride ion (Cl-) is larger than the oxygen ion (O2-). This is because the chloride ion has more electrons than the oxygen ion, resulting in a larger atomic radius and hence a larger ionic radius.


What number is bigger o or -2?

0 is larger than -2.


Are oxygen molecules bigger or smaller then nitrogen molecules?

No CO2 is carbon dioxide, which is a compound consisting of one carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms. Carbon dioxide is what you breathe out and what is produced by cars. O2 is simply atmospheric oxygen (what you breathe in). Most oxygen exists as two oxygen atoms bonded together.
