Ionic Radius Quiz

What is another word for ionic size?

• Ionic measurement

• atomic size

• atomic radius

• ionic radius

Why are cations larger and anions smaller than their respective atoms?

• Cations are larger than their respective atoms because of decreased electron repulsion
• Cations are larger than their respective atoms because of increased electron repulsion
• Anions are smaller than their respective atoms because of increased effective nuclear charge

Why does ionization energy decrease as you go down a group?

• the atom becomes smaller and the so the electrons in outer shells are closer to the center.
• the atom becomes bigger, so the electrons in the outer shell are further apart from the center.
• the atom becomes smaller, so the electrons in the outer shells are further apart from the center.

Which of these statements correctly represents the trend in relation to the ionic size of elements as we move down a column in the periodic table?

• Whether positive or negative ion, the ionic size increases as we move down a column
• Ionic size first decreases and then increases as we move down a column.
• Whether a positive or negative ion, the ionic size decreases as we move down a column.
• Ionic size first increases and then decreases as we move down a column.
