The ionic
radii of four Group 17 elements
are given in the table below.
59 Identify the noble gas
that has atoms in the ground
state with the same electron
configuration as a Br- ion in
the ground state.
60 State, in terms
of electrons, why the ionic
radius of a Group 17 element is
larger than the atomic radius
for the same element.
Answer--> The ion has
one more electron than the
atom, so it is larger. |
