Anions have supplementary electrons.
Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.
Its C. Anions gain electrons without gaining protons. This increased negative charge with no increase in positive charge allows electrons to orbit farther from the nucleus; therefore the ions are larger.
its c. anions gain electrons without gaining protons. this increased negetive charge with no increase in positive chare allows electrons to orbit farther from the nuculeus; therefore the ions are larger.
When electrons are added into the outer shell repulsion occurs, to minimize the repulsion the electron cloud expands.
In MgBr2, there are two bromide anions (Br-) for each magnesium cation (Mg2+), so the total number of anions in MgBr2 is 2.
Yes, anions have a larger radius compared to cations.
Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.
no. they become larger in size

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.
When electrons are added into the outer shell repulsion occurs, to minimize the repulsion the electron cloud expands.
in the case of non-metals, the anions are formed by the addition of electrons. So the ionic radius is larger than that of the atomic radius
The ions are b, anions and cations. Note that xenon is not an ion, it is a noble gas.
The total charge of two nitrogen anions is -2. Nitrogen typically forms anions with a charge of -3, so two nitrogen anions would have a total charge of -6.
In MgBr2, there are two bromide anions (Br-) for each magnesium cation (Mg2+), so the total number of anions in MgBr2 is 2.
Yes. Anions are negative ions and cations are positive ions.
