What type of bond is formed between oxygen and chlorine?
anion
Where in the periodic table is the smallest anionic radius found?
The smallest element is hydrogen (atomic number = 1). When one electron is added to hydrogen, hydride ion is formed and this is the anion with smallest ionic radius.
How does the ionic radius of a typical anion compare with radius for corresponding neutral atom?
The anion is bigger. Because in an anion there are more electrons than protons in the nucleus, making the pull on the electrons weaker.
How is copper carbonate an ionic bond?
The ionic bond is formed between Cu2+ cation and CO32- anion.
Is F- an anion?
F is fluorine, and it is neither a cation or an anion. F^- is formed when F gains an electron. F^- is an ANION.
When the atom becomes an anion what happens to its radius?
The radius of an anion is bigger than the radius of a neutral atom.
What type of bond is formed between oxygen and chlorine?
anion
What is the relationship between the name of the acid and the name of the anion that forms it?
If the name of the acid ends in the letters "ic" and the acid contains oxygen, the name of the anion formed from it replaces the "ic" with "ate". If the name of the acid ends in the letters "ous" and the acid contains oxygen, the name of the anion formed from it replaces the "ous" with "ite." If the name of acid ends in the letters "ic" and the acid does not contain oxygen, the name of the anion formed by the acid changes "ic" to "ide", and if the name of the acid begin with "hydro", these letters are deleted from the name of the anion.
Is an ionic bond a connection between two cations?
No, an ionic bond is formed between a cation and an anion.
Where in the periodic table is the smallest anionic radius found?
The smallest element is hydrogen (atomic number = 1). When one electron is added to hydrogen, hydride ion is formed and this is the anion with smallest ionic radius.
How does the ionic radius of a typical anion compare with radius for corresponding neutral atom?
The anion is bigger. Because in an anion there are more electrons than protons in the nucleus, making the pull on the electrons weaker.
Why is the radius of anion more than the corresponding atom?
An anion has more electrons than a neutral atom.
How is copper carbonate an ionic bond?
The ionic bond is formed between Cu2+ cation and CO32- anion.
What is the relationship between the number oh hydrogen in acid and the charge on the anion?
# of hydrogen ions in an acid is equal to the charge of the ion
What is the anion name for HClO3?
The ClO3- anion formed when HClO3 is dissolved is called Chlorate
Is F- an anion?
F is fluorine, and it is neither a cation or an anion. F^- is formed when F gains an electron. F^- is an ANION.
How can you figure out an ion's radius?
The atomic radius is calculated by spctroscopic or X-ray methods.
