What is the accurate radius of the atom Xenon?

The atomic radius is 216 pm.


What occurs to the radius when an atom loses an electron?

The negative ionic radius is larger than the neutral atomic radius


If atom are smallest particle than why atom bomb are getting blast?

Atoms are NOT the smallest particle- they are the smallest COMPLETE particle. In an atomic reaction, the atoms are broken apart, and release energy.


Does a hydrogen bomb have a larger blast radius than an atomic bomb?

Trick question. The answer is vastly simplified--perhaps to the point of inaccuracy.Having worked on a system that carried either payload, I can tell you that a hydrogen device will produce a larger blast radius with less long term radiation than the same physically sized uranium or plutonium device, but that efficient detonation does not occur until above the 50 kiloton range--not much of an issue when the average size of the devices of the five NPT states is taken into account. Much of the radiation released by a hydrogen reaction is in the form of heat, hence the term thermo-nuclear. All hydrogen bombs are fusion bombs. Solely uranium and plutonium bombs are fission devices. The difference is in the reaction (fission splits the atom, fusion compresses two hydrogen atoms into a helium atom--similar to the mechanism of stars). Additionally, all hydrogen bombs also have a fissile component that is used to compress and initiate the fusion reaction.


What are the atomic radius of carbon?

Carbon can either have a +4 or a -4 charge because it has four electrons in it's outermost electron level. It would be the same for it to take or remove electrons. This is very rare though, Carbon would most likely share electrons.

Can give you some explanation about the structure of the atom esspecially about it's radius?

Atomic radius is simply the radius of the atom, an indication of the atom's volume.


What is the radius of an atom in picometers?

Scandium empirical atom radius: 160 pm Scandium calculated atom radius: 184 pm


Would you feel anything if a atom bomb went off?

It depends on if you are within the blast radius of an atomic bomb...<br><br>If you are within the firey blast radius of the bomb, then no. You will feel nothing at all. The heat from an atom bomb is so intense that not only does it sear your nerve endings shut, it completely turns you into dust. So, in other words, you will be dead before your brain comprehends what has happened.


When the atom becomes an anion what happens to its radius?

The radius of an anion is bigger than the radius of a neutral atom.


Why is the radius of an atom of iodine greater than the radius of bromine atom?

An iodine atom has one more principal energy level than a bromine atom. Therefore the radius of an iodine atom is greater than the latter.


When an atom becomes a cation what happens to it's radius?

The atomic radius of a cation is smaller than that of its original atom. See the related link for an image example of what this may look like.


Compared to the atomic radius of a sodium atom the atomic radius of a magnesium atom os smaller the smaller radius is primly a result of the magnesium atom having?

a larger nuclear charge


The atomic radius to the distance from the nucleus of an atom to?

The atomic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an atom to the outermost orbital of electron.


When determining the size of an atom by measuring the bond radius the radius of an atom is?

One half the distance between nuclei.


Who has the largest radius calcium atom or calcium ion?

The radius of a cadmium atom is smaller than the radium of a mercury atom. The trend for atomic radius is that the radius becomes larger toward the left side of the row and toward the bottom of the group.


When does the atomic radius of an atom increase?

the radius of an atom gets larger when moving left to right across the Periodic Table because elements gain protons and electrons- the increase in charge brings the atom radius in
