What is the relationship between atomic radius and ... - Socratic
2017年9月11日 · Atomic radius is the measure of the size of an atom. (An estimate of the radius, or distance, between the nucleus and the electron on the furthest occupied shell. As for the atom structure, the positive nucleus is in the center, and the negatively charged electrons are around, so the only force (relatively) acting on the electron that will ...
What is atomic radius? - Socratic
2018年4月14日 · The radius of an atom. It is defined as the distance between the center of the atom's nucleus and its valence electrons. Atomic radius is the distance from an atom's nucleus to one of its valence electrons. Every atom has a difference atomic radius. There are certain trends for atomic radii. When we go down a group, more electrons are present in the atom, so more …
How does atomic radius change from left to right across a
2015年10月26日 · The trend in the periodic table is from right to left, and top to bottom, the atomic radii increases. Top to bottom: because as you go down the periodic table, the energy level increases, the electrons (which is negatively charged) orbits further away from the positive nucleus, which means the attraction between the two is weak making the radius bigger. Right …
How do you find atomic radius given the density? - Socratic
2016年6月1日 · Here's one way to do it. > For a metal, you need the density, the molar mass, and the crystal structure. Let's calculate the atomic radius of polonium, which has molar mass = 209 g/mol, density = "9.32 g/cm"^3, and exists in a simple cubic unit cell. We see that there is 1 atom per unit cell (1/8 "atom" at each corner) and that the edge length of the cell (a) is twice the …
What are the periodic trends for atomic radii, ionization ... - Socratic
2016年11月13日 · Of these, atomic radius is the most predictable, and ionization energy and electron affinity trends follow (at least in part) from such trends. ATOMIC RADII. In general, the atomic radius (except for many transition metals) has a pattern where it decreases from the bottom-left to the top-right of the periodic table. This is because:
Why does atomic radius decrease as you go across a period?
2015年10月20日 · Nuclear charge dominates whilst adding electrons to the same shell. The net result is atomic contraction across a period. This is a very important periodic phenomenon: the contraction of atomic radii across the period. While as we add to Z (the number of protons in the nucleus), we also add another electron (and charge is therefore kept neutral), the increased …
How do trends in atomic radius relate to ionization energy?
2014年4月9日 · The smaller the radius, the higher the ionization energy. This is because the electrons are being held in closer to the protons, which have opposing charges and therefore hold on to them, in an atom with a small radius. If the radius is larger, then those electrons on the outer edge of the atom aren't being held in so close and are easier to lose - requiring a lower …
How would you describe the trends in atomic radius of the
2016年10月1日 · Atomic radius increases down the alkali metals group. Every time we move down the group, the number of electron shells of the element increases by one. E.g. sodium has 3 electron shells, potassium has 4, rubidium has 5. Since the number of electron shells increase, the atom is getting larger and thus the atomic radius would get larger. Furthermore, the …
How does atomic size affect reactivity? - Socratic
2014年12月6日 · The larger an atom is, the more reactive it will be. It helps to think about the size of an atom with the location of the electrons and nucleus in mind. You know that protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged, therefore there is a level of attraction between these two oppositely charged subatomic particles. This attraction helps stabilize the …
How does ion size relate to solubility? - Socratic
2014年4月28日 · Compounds with small ions tend to be less soluble than those with large ions. The solubility of a compound is the result of a competition. The ions in the compound attract each other, and the water molecules attract the ions. If the water molecules have a greater attraction to the ions than ions have for each other, then the compound will be soluble in water. …
