Do anions have a larger radius compared to cations?

Yes, anions have a larger radius compared to cations.


What conclusions can we make about the size of cations neutral atoms and anions?

Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.


Do anions become smaller with increasing charge?

no. they become larger in size


What are anions of a particular element generally larger than the atoms of the same element?

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.


Anions of a particular element are generally larger than the atoms of the same element what best explains this difference?

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.


How do the sizes of cations and anions relate to the atoms they form from?

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.


Why are anions always larger than the atoms from which they are form?

When electrons are added into the outer shell repulsion occurs, to minimize the repulsion the electron cloud expands.


How does the ionic radius of a nonmetal compare with its atomic radius?

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


Why r anions larger than their parent atom?

Anions are larger than their parent atoms because they gain one or more electrons, which increases electron-electron repulsion within the electron cloud. This added repulsion causes the electrons to spread out more, resulting in a larger atomic radius. Additionally, the increased negative charge in the anion reduces the effective nuclear charge felt by the outer electrons, allowing them to occupy a higher energy level and further increasing the size.


How does hydration energy change with a change in the size of an anion?

Hydration energy is influenced by the size of an anion; as the size of the anion increases, the hydration energy generally decreases. Larger anions have a greater distance between their charge and the surrounding water molecules, resulting in weaker interactions and lower energy release during hydration. Conversely, smaller anions have a higher charge density, leading to stronger electrostatic interactions with water molecules and greater hydration energy. Thus, smaller anions tend to have more negative hydration energies compared to larger ones.

What is the total charge of two nitrogen anions?

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.
