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.
The ionic charge of the element in question depends on it's oxidation state in the molecule it is part of. Since these elements are generally nonmetallic, they mostly form covalent bonds rather than ionic ones. However, if they do form ionic bonds the charges can vary from 2+ to 4+.
