PLEASE HELP ASAP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST explain in terms of subatomic particles why the X+ ion is smaller than the X atom.

X+ ion cation is smaller than neutral atom because when one or more electrons are lose by an atom it usually result in lose of shell.

And when electron is removed positive/ negative charged ratio increas which causes more effective nuclear charge.

The more effective nuclear charge the less its size.

Explanation:

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).

the correct answer would be b. amelia, because the particals of gas move really fast (charged particals) and gas also has a lot of room (particals move independently) so the only answer that has both of those is amelia's.
