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).


When an atom of phosphorus becomes a phosphide ion p3 the radius?

When an atom of phosphorus gains three electrons to become a phosphide ion (P3-), it will have a larger radius compared to the neutral phosphorus atom. This is because the additional electrons will occupy outer electron shells, leading to increased electron-electron repulsion and the expansion of the ionic radius.


What is the radius size of the atom phosphorus?

The covalent radius of phosphorus is 100 pm.


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).


Does phosphorus have a larger radius than chlorine?

No, chlorine has a larger atomic radius than phosphorus. Atomic radius decreases as you move from left to right across a period in the periodic table, and phosphorus is to the left of chlorine in the periodic table.


What is the radius of phosphorus atoms is 1.9nm?

69


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 exhibits metallic properties due to its tendency to lose an electron and form positively charged ions. Phosphorus has a smaller atomic radius and tends to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, making it more likely to exhibit non-metallic properties.


What element has the largest atomic radius out of sodium magnesium phosphorus and chlorine?

12-Magnesium


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.


Which element has a larger ionic radius than sulfur?

Phosphorus has larger ionic radius than sulfur. There is more nuclear attraction in sulfur.


What happens to the radius of a circle when the diameter triples?

The radius becomes one and a half times larger


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.
