Do metal atoms decrease in size when they combines with nonmetal atom?
As metals have to become metal ions in order to chemically combined with nonmetals they have to lose their valance electrons. This process is associated with making the atoms smaller.
Explain what does the strength of a metallic bond depends upon?
Number of valence electrons-The greater the number of freely mobile valence electrons, the higher the charge of positive metal ion, the stronger the metallic bond. Size of metal atom or ion-The smaller the size of the metal ion, the closer the nuclei of metal cations are to the delocalized mobile electrons, the stronger the forces of attraction between the electrons and nuclei, the stronger the metallic bonds.
What happens when an atom of metal an atom of nonmetal are combined?
The metal loses its electrons and trannsfers them to the non-metal to form an ioinic bond.
What is the size is an atom?
The size of an atom refers to the typical distance from the nucleus to the boundary of the surrounding cloud of electrons.
How is the size of an anion different from the size of the atom from which it was formed?
Anion will have more electron than which atom it was form. So, after forming the the atom will have more electron cloud and size will be smaller compare to the original one.
Which atom is the smallest in size?
The atom that is smallest in size is the hydrogen atom.
When a metal atom combines with a non-metal atom how will the non-metal atom react?
metal and non metal usually combines to form complexes. as the valecy to be satisfied by both does not let them to form simple compounds with each other
The volume of an atom is determined by the size of?
By the size of the atom and its mass
Is zinc an atom?
Yes. Zn is a metal atom.
When do ionic bonds form?
They are formed when a strong metal atom is bonded with a strong non metal atom.
What is the approximate size of an atom?
An atom is the size of an orange compared to the Earth.
What is the size of a silicon atom?
The size of a silicon atom is about 0.11 nanometers.
What type of atom is the oxygen atom?
it is a non- metal element.
What two atoms form and an ionic bond?
An ionic bond is formed between a metal atom and a non-metal atom. The metal atom donates electrons to the non-metal atom, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that are attracted to each other, forming an ionic bond.
How many metal atoms are in NaF?
none its two ions one of which (Na) comes from a metal
Do metal atoms decrease in size when they combines with nonmetal atom?
As metals have to become metal ions in order to chemically combined with nonmetals they have to lose their valance electrons. This process is associated with making the atoms smaller.
What is the largest alkaline earth metal Atom?
Barium is the largest alkaline earth metal atom in terms of atomic radius.
