I would not think so as their natural state radius is so close. Ca(2+) loses two electrons, so I think it would have the smaller ionic radius.

Which ion has the smallest ionic radius Mg2 plus or Ca2 plus?

Mg2+ has the smaller ionic radius compared to Ca2+ because as you move down a group in the periodic table, the ionic radius increases due to the addition of electron shells. Mg and Ca are in the same group, but Ca has more electron shells than Mg, resulting in a larger ionic radius for Ca2+.


Li or Ca2 which cation is smaller?

Li+ is smaller than Ca2+


Is ca plus 2 or mg plus 2 larger?

The Ca2+ ion is larger than the Mg2+ ion. The ionic radii are: 86pm for the Mg2+ and 114pm for the Ca2+. Besides the fact that the Ca2+ has more electrons this can be explained by the principle of electron shielding. Electron shielding is when lower level electrons block the EFC(effective nuclear charge) from effecting the valence electrons of an ion. Ca2+has more electrons than Mg2+ so more electron shielding occurs.


Which particle is bigger Ca or Ca2 plus?

The particle Ca2+ is bigger in size compared to the Ca particle. This is because Ca2+ has an additional charge compared to Ca, which results in a larger ionic radius due to increased electron-electron repulsion that can overcome the attractive force between the nucleus and electrons.


Is Ca2 plus a cation?

Yes it is a cation which is an ion with fewer electrons than protons, giving it a positive charge.


How many electron ca2 plus?

Calcium has atomic number 20. A neutron calcium atom therefore has 20 protons and 20 electrons. Ca2+ has a charge of positive 2, so it must have 2 more protons than electrons. Ca2+ has 18 electrons.


What is the name of the ionic compound Ca2 plus F-?

The ionic compound formed by Ca2+ and F- ions is calcium fluoride.


The chemical symbol Ca2 plus refers to?

An isotope of calcium


Is the charge of Ca2 plus correct?

The charge of Ca2+ is correct. Calcium typically oxidizes to form a 2+ cation by losing two electrons.


The correct formula for Ca2 plus reacting with NO21-?

In this reaction, Ca2+ reacts with NO2^1- to form Ca(NO2)2. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: Ca2+ + 2NO2^- → Ca(NO2)2.
