I went straight to a PhD after my bachelor's and I have lots of thoughts. -You get finished with your degree faster - you don't have this interim stage between BA and PhD. -You don't have to figure out how to pay for your MS, or worse, take on debt for it. -You get to jump right into what you really want to do.
What is the ionic charge of a sulfate ion? Which has a larger ionic radius a strontium ion or a rubidium ion? Both are ions and we should consider the ionic radius, not the atomic radius. Rubidium ion (Rb+) will have a larger IONIC radius than strontium ion (Sr2+). Both ions have â¦the same electronic configuration. But strontium ion has more number of protons in the nucleus. Hence it will have greater force of attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons, resulting in smaller size.
Ernest Z. Potassium iodide is an ionic compound. Potassium is in Group 1 of the Periodic Table. That means it is a metal. Iodine is in Group 17 of the Periodic Table. That means it is a nonmetal. Metals react with nonmetals to form ionic compounds. A sodium atom transfers an electron to a chlorine atom to form a sodium ion and a chloride ion. The product is the ionic compound, sodium chloride. In the same way, a potassium atom transfers an electron to an iodine atom to form a potassium ion and an iodide ion. So, potassium iodide is an ionic compound.
