Question

The ability of ion depends upon its charge density comment on the statement

Answer 1

Answer:

The statement that an ability of ion depends on its charge density can be understood by its relation to its definition. Where charge density refers to the ratio of charge of ions to its volume.

Explanation:

Their relation is that if,

-Greater the charge density greater will be the ability of ion for reaction/reacting.

- FOR INSTANCE, IF

Sodium ion (Na+) and Magnesium ion (Mg2+)

They both contain 10 electrons , i.e. in the ratio (2,8) .

But, the number( no.) of protons in both ions are different.

In the case of ion( sodium) there are 11 protons present in its nucleus while in case of ion (magnesium ) there are 12 protons present in its nucleus.

Answer 2

Answer:

this relation belongs to hydration

the ability of an ion to form hydrate depends upon the charge density

i.esmaller the size and greater the charge ,greater would be the charge density.
