Question

The ability of an ion depends upon its charge density why???

Answer 1

Charge density is the ratio of charge of ion to is volume. Greater the charge density greater is the ability of ion for reaction. For example, Sodium ion (Na+) and Magnesium ion (Mg2+) both contain 10 electrons (2,8) . However number of protons in both ions are different. In case of sodium ion there are 11 protons in its nucleus while in case of magnesium ion there are 12 protons in its nucleus.

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, the ability of an ion depends upon charge density as Greater the charge density greater is the ability of ion for reaction.

Explanation:

Charge density is the ratio of charge of ion to is volume. The charge density is directly proportional to the the ion, due to which greater the charge density will leads to greater ability of an ion for a reaction.

For example, Sodium(Na+) ion has high charge density than magnesium (Mg2+) ion. Both ions contains same number of electrons while differ in number of protons.

Thus, charge density is dependent upon the ability of ion.
