Why is there a large increase in ionic radius from silicon to phosphorus?
Because while silicon loses electrons to be stable, it loses an electron shell, whereas phosphorus gains more electrons. Therefore, there is a difference of an entire electron shell.
Which has a larger radius arsenic or phosphorus?
Carbon has a larger atomic radius than nitrogen. The radii of these compounds are 67pm and 56pm, respectively. This occurs because the electrons in nitrogen are more attracted to the nucleus than electrons in carbon.
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
When atoms gains electrons what happens to the atomic radius?
The negative ionic radius is larger than the neutral atomic radius
How can you figure out an ion's radius?
The atomic radius is calculated by spctroscopic or X-ray methods.
When an atom of phosphorus becomes a phosphide ion p3 the radius?
When an element from anions, the radius of the ion increases when compared to that of the neutral atom. The same is the true for the element (phosphorus) and its anion (phosphide ion).
When phosphorus becomes phosphide what happens to radius?
The radius of any anion is larger than the original neutral atom. So phosphide (P^3-) which as gained 3 electrons, has a larger radius than phosphorous (P).
What is the radius size of the atom phosphorus?
The covalent radius of phosphorus is 100 pm.
How do the atomic radius and metallic properties of sodium compare to the atomic radius and metallic properties of phosphorus?
Sodium has a larger atomic radius and is more metallic.
Which element has the smallest atomic radius phosphorus or tellurium?
Phosphorus (1.23 Å) has an atomic radius smaller than that of tellurium (1.42 Å).
What is the radius of phosphorus atoms is 1.9nm?
69
Does phosphorus have a larger radius than chlorine?
yes
Which element has a larger ionic radius than sulfur?
Phosphorus has larger ionic radius than sulfur. There is more nuclear attraction in sulfur.
What element has the largest atomic radius out of sodium magnesium phosphorus and chlorine?
12-Magnesium
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.
If you divide a radius of a circle by 2 what will happen to the area?
If the radius of a circle becomes 1/2 as long, the area becomes 1/4 as much.
What happens to the radius of a circle when the diameter triples?
The radius becomes one and a half times larger
