Respuesta :
Rank the ions in each set in order of decreasing size [tex]Te^{-2} > I^- > Cs^+[/tex].
[tex]Te^{2-}[/tex] hast the biggest size, because of the double negative charge.
[tex]Cs^+[/tex] has the smallest size since it has the most positive charge, compared to [tex]Te^{2-}[/tex] and [tex]I^-[/tex].
What is ion?
- Ions are atoms or molecules with a net electrical charge (/a.n, -n/).
- Conventionally, the charge of an electron is thought to be negative; this charge is equal to and opposite to the charge of a proton, which is thought to be positive.
- Because the total number of electrons in an ion is more than the total number of protons, the net charge of an ion is not zero.
- In contrast to an anion, which is negatively charged but has more electrons than protons, a cation is an ion that is positively charged but has fewer electrons than protons.
- The electrostatic force causes opposite electric charges to be drawn towards one another, causing cations and anions to attract one another and easily form ionic compounds.
