I understand that He- is larger than He, but I don't know which is bigger between He- and Ne.. please help??
The size of He- (helium ion) is smaller than that of a neon atom. This is because He- has one less electron than neon, making it have a smaller atomic radius.
He- has a smaller size because it has one less electron than neon. This results in a smaller atomic radius, making it physically smaller.
Yes, the size difference between He- and neon is significant. Even though they are both small atoms, the difference in atomic radius can have a significant impact on their chemical and physical properties.
The smaller size of He- makes it more reactive than neon. This is because the smaller atomic radius allows for stronger interactions with other atoms, making it easier for He- to form bonds and undergo chemical reactions.
Yes, the size of He- and neon can be measured accurately using various techniques such as X-ray crystallography or electron microscopy. These methods allow for the determination of the atomic radius and size of atoms.
