A

A sulfur atom is larger than an oxygen atom.

27
Q

Reading 3.9: Atomic and Ionic Sizes

Determine whether an atom of aluminum or an atom of argon would have a larger radius.

A

An aluminum atom should have a larger radius than an argon atom.

An aluminum atom should have a larger radius than an argon atom.The effective nuclear charge experienced by an element’s valence electrons increases from left to right across a period. This increase in effective nuclear charge results in a decrease in atomic radius. As a result, an

28
Q

29
Q

A

Larger

30
Q

Reading 3.9: Atomic and Ionic Sizes

Compare the relative sizes of Cl and Cl-

A

Cl- is significantly larger than Cl

Cl- is significantly larger than Cl because it has an extra electron but the same nuclear charge of +17. The net negative charge of Cl- allows for greater electron-electron repulsions and results in an increase in size.

31
Q

Reading 3.9: Atomic and Ionic Sizes

Compare the relative sizes of Co, Co2+, and Co3+

A

Co > Co2+ > Co3+

In each case, the nucleus has 27 protons and, therefore, a charge of +27. Co has 27 electrons, Co2+ has 25 electrons, and Co3+ has 24 electrons.

32
Q

Reading 3.9: Atomic and Ionic Sizes

Compare the sizes of Cl-, K+, and Ca2+

A

Ca2+ < K+ < Cl-

The three species each have 18 electrons and are isoelectronic. The Ca2+ nucleus has 20 protons and a nuclear charge of +20, however, resulting in a stronger attractive force on the electrons than in K+ 919 protons) and Cl- (17 protons). Therefore, Ca2+ is the smallest of the three species. Additionally, Ca2+ and K+ are both in the fourth row of the periodic table, but Ca is to the right of K, so Ca2+ should be smaller than K+
Cl- is the largest of the three species because it has more electrons than protons, and the resulting electron-electron repulsions allow the valence electrons to occupy a position farther from the nucleus.

Q

Does the largest increase in ionization energy for potassium occur between removing the first and second electrons or the second and third electrons?

A

The second ionization energy is much greater than the first.

K+ (electron configuration = [Ar]) has a filled valence shell that is disrupted furing its ionization to K2+.
The actual values for the first three ionization energies are 418, 3050, and 440 kJ/mol, respectively. So the largest increase in IE for K occurs between removing the first and second electrons.
