10 Questions
Which of the following statements about protons is true?
Protons have a positive charge
What is the relationship between the number of protons and the positive charge of an atom?
Atoms with higher numbers of protons have a more substantial positive charge
What is the relationship between the number of protons and the radius of an atom or ion?
Atoms with higher numbers of protons have a smaller radius
Which of the following ions are in an isoelectronic series?
Nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), fluorine (F)
What is the relationship between the number of protons and the ionic radius of an anion?
Anions with a higher number of protons have a smaller ionic radius
Which statement best describes the ionic radius of an atom?
The ionic radius can be larger or smaller than the atomic radius.
What is the relationship between the number of electrons gained or lost and the ionic radius of an atom?
The more electrons gained or lost, the larger the ionic radius.
What happens to the ionic radius of an atom when it gains an electron?
The ionic radius increases.
What happens to the ionic radius of an atom when it loses an electron?
The ionic radius decreases.
Can ions of different elements have the same ionic radius?
No, ions of different elements can have the same ionic radius only if they are isoelectronic.
Test your knowledge on ionic radii and how atoms can change when they become ions. Explore how the atomic radius differs from the ionic radius and discover why an element's atoms can have varying ionic radii.
