When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of sodium does the atom of chlorine become an ion with a smaller or larger radius than the atom of chlorine?
It becomes an ion with a larger radius than the atom of chlorine
Is chlorine atom stable?
Yes, Chlorine atom is stable
An atom of chlorine has 6 more protons than an atom of sodium How many protons does an atom of chlorine have?
Chlorine has 17 protons.
Does chlorine atom has a smaller radius than chlorine ion?
Yes, considerably so. In general, positive ions are smaller than their neutral atoms, and negative ions are larger than their neutral atoms.
A chlorine atom reacts with a sodium atom to form sodium chloride, NaCl. A chlorine atom can also react with another chlorine atom to form a chlorine molecule, Cl2. Which statement BEST explains the behavior of chlorine in these two reactions?
A chlorine atom can form ionic bonds by accepting an electron and covalent bonds by sharing electrons.
When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of sodium does the atom of chlorine become an ion with a smaller or larger radius than the atom of chlorine?
It becomes an ion with a larger radius than the atom of chlorine
Unit used to measure the radius of an atom?
Typically it is an Angstrom, which is 1x10-10 meters
What is the radius of Al?
The radius of an atom of aluminium, in the ground state, is 118 picometres = 1.18*10^-10 metres = 11.8 angstrom.
What is the order of magnitude of the radius of an atom?
The order of magnitude of the radius of an atom is Angstrom Units (10-10 m)
Explain how you determined your answer if the radius of a hydrogen atom is about 0.000000106 millimeter write the length of this radius in scientific notation?
1.06*10-7
What size is a atom?
It's about 1 angstrom and 1 angstrom=0.0000000001 meter.
Width of a hydrogen atom?
About 1 Angstrom.
Which is more massive a chlorine atom or a carbon atom?
a chlorine atom.
Why is the sodium atom smaller than the chlorine atom in a salt molcule?
The sodium atom loses an electron to chlorine. Chlorine has a higher electronegativity so it attracts the electron from sodium. Sodium now has 11 positive protons holding only 10 electrons whereas chlorine has an extra electron to control. Chlorine has 17 protons holding 18 negative electrons, therefore, its proton to electron ratio has gone down. Sodium's proton to electron ratio went up, therefore, the electrons are closer to the nucleus and the ionic radius is less than the atomic radius.
When an electrom is transferred from sodium atom to a chlorine atom the chlorine atom becomes?
Chlorine becomes negatively charged.
Is chlorine atom stable?
Yes, Chlorine atom is stable
An atom of chlorine has 6 more protons than an atom of sodium How many protons does an atom of chlorine have?
Chlorine has 17 protons.
