Arrange the following ions in order of increasing ionic radius: $$\mathrm{Br$$^{-}$$}$$, $$\mathrm{K$$^{+}$$}$$, $$\mathrm{Rb$$^{+}$$}$$, $$\mathrm{Se$$^{2-}$$}.$$

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{K$$^{+}$$} \u003c \mathrm{Rb$$^{+}$$} \u003c \mathrm{Br$$^{-}$$} \u003c \mathrm{Se$$^{2-}$$}$$

Question 4

Which statement best explains why $$\mathrm{O$$^{2-}$$}$$ has a larger radius than $$\mathrm{F$$^{-}$$} in an $$isoelectronic series?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{O$$^{2-}$$}$$ has fewer protons, so the electrons are held less tightly.

Question 5

Question 6

For an isoelectronic series, which ion will have the smallest radius?

Accepted Answer

The ion with the most protons

Question 7

A patient is found to have high levels of $$\mathrm{Na$$^{+}$$}$$ and $$\mathrm{Mg$$^{2+}$$} in $$their blood. Which ion will have a smaller ionic radius, and why?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{Mg$$^{2+}$$}$$; it has more protons pulling on the same number of electrons.

Question 8

Which of the following ions is isoelectronic with $$\mathrm{Ne}$$?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{F$$^{-}$$}$$

Question 9

If you have the ions $$\mathrm{Cl$$^{-}$$}$$, $$\mathrm{S$$^{2-}$$}$$, $$\mathrm{K$$^{+}$$}$$, and $$\mathrm{Ca$$^{2+}$$}$$, which has the largest ionic radius?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{S$$^{2-}$$}$$

Question 10

Which of the following best describes an isoelectronic series?

Accepted Answer

A group of atoms or ions with the same number of electrons

Question 11

Arrange the following ions in order of decreasing ionic radius: $$\mathrm{N$$^{3-}$$}$$, $$\mathrm{O$$^{2-}$$}$$, $$\mathrm{F$$^{-}$$}$$, $$\mathrm{Na$$^{+}$$}.$$

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{N$$^{3-}$$} \u003e \mathrm{O$$^{2-}$$} \u003e \mathrm{F$$^{-}$$} \u003e \mathrm{Na$$^{+}$$}$$

A chemist is comparing the ionic radii of $$\mathrm{Al$$^{3+}$$}$$ and $$\mathrm{Na$$^{+}$$} in an $$isoelectronic series. Which is smaller and why?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{Al$$^{3+}$$}$$; it has more protons attracting the same number of electrons.

Question 13

Which of the following ions would you expect to have the smallest ionic radius: $$\mathrm{P$$^{3-}$$}$$, $$\mathrm{S$$^{2-}$$}$$, $$\mathrm{Cl$$^{-}$$}$$, $$\mathrm{K$$^{+}$$}$$?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{K$$^{+}$$}$$

Question 14

In a hospital setting, why is it important to know the relative sizes of ions such as $$\mathrm{Na$$^{+}$$}$$ and $$\mathrm{K$$^{+}$$}$$?

Accepted Answer

Their sizes affect how they move through cell membranes and influence nerve signaling.

Question 15

Which of the following ions is NOT isoelectronic with $$\mathrm{Ar}$$?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{S$$^{2-}$$}$$

Question 16

A student arranges the ions $$\mathrm{F$$^{-}$$}$$, $$\mathrm{O$$^{2-}$$}$$, $$\mathrm{Ne}$$, $$\mathrm{Na$$^{+}$$} in $$order of increasing radius. Which is correct?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{Na$$^{+}$$} \u003c \mathrm{Ne} \u003c \mathrm{F$$^{-}$$} \u003c \mathrm{O$$^{2-}$$}$$

Question 17

Which of the following ions has the greatest number of electrons?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{S$$^{2-}$$}$$

Question 18

If two ions are isoelectronic, what determines which has the larger radius?

Accepted Answer
