What else can I help you with?
Would the same behavior exist in atomic radius for the ions of atoms?
No, the behavior of atomic radius for ions of atoms would not be the same. When an atom gains or loses electrons to become an ion, its radius changes. Cations (positively charged ions) are smaller in radius compared to their parent atoms because they lose electrons, leading to increased effective nuclear charge pulling the remaining electrons closer. Anions (negatively charged ions) are larger in radius as they gain electrons, resulting in increased electron-electron repulsion and expansion of the electron cloud.
What is true about all anions?
Atoms are not anions. An atom is an electrically neutral particle with equal numbers of protons and electrons. An atom becomes an anion by gaining more electrons, so becoming negatively charged.
When atoms gain or lose electrons we call the resulting atom an ion. What are the two different types of ions and how are they formed?
The two types of ions are cations and anions. Cations are formed when atoms lose electrons, resulting in a positively charged ion, while anions are formed when atoms gain electrons, resulting in a negatively charged ion.
How do atoms with different atomic numbers differ from each other?
Atoms with different atomic numbers have different numbers of protons in their nucleus, which determines their identity as different elements. This difference in atomic number leads to variations in their physical and chemical properties, such as size, mass, and reactivity.
How are atoms of different elements similar and how are they different?
Atoms of different elements are similar in that they all contain protons, neutrons, and electrons. However, they are different in terms of their atomic number (number of protons), atomic mass (sum of protons and neutrons), and electron configuration, which determines their chemical properties.
When atoms lose electrons in an ionic bond what do they become?
These atoms become anions.
Would the same behavior exist in atomic radius for the ions of atoms?
No, the behavior of atomic radius for ions of atoms would not be the same. When an atom gains or loses electrons to become an ion, its radius changes. Cations (positively charged ions) are smaller in radius compared to their parent atoms because they lose electrons, leading to increased effective nuclear charge pulling the remaining electrons closer. Anions (negatively charged ions) are larger in radius as they gain electrons, resulting in increased electron-electron repulsion and expansion of the electron cloud.
Do all atoms that are anions have more electrons than protons?
Atom that are anions have two more electrons than it has in protons.
How do the sizes of cations and anions relate to the atoms they form from?
Cations are formed when atoms lose electrons and hence are smaller in size than the corresponding atoms. Anions are formed when atoms gain electrons and hence are larger in size than the corresponding atoms.
Radioactive isotopes have excess electrons?
No (this is valid for neutral atoms); anions have excess electrons.
Do ions have more electrons than the atoms from which they were formed?
of course, ions are formed by loosing (cations) or gaining (anions) electrons. anions have more electrons than the atom from which it is formed.
Do in ionic bonding atoms loose or gain electrons?
Actually both. Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions whereas when atoms lose electrons positively charged cations are formed. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions
What are atoms that tend to pick up electrons in a reaction called?
Anions
What kind of atoms gain electrons?
Generally non-metals gain electrons and form anions.
What is it called when gain of electrons or H?
Gain of electrons form anions (negative charged atoms).
What is true about all anions?
Atoms are not anions. An atom is an electrically neutral particle with equal numbers of protons and electrons. An atom becomes an anion by gaining more electrons, so becoming negatively charged.
How do positive and negative ions forms?
Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions. Atoms lose electrons to form positively charged cations.
