Question
60 sts in base Form Q1.9 Relative sizes of atoms and some molecules Number each of the following in order of its mass, with "1" being the largest and 11 being the smallest. Be sure to reason through it logically, based on what you know and what you can find in the text figures, lecture notes etc. hydrogen atom 11electron 1visible NaCI crystal carbon atom- hydrogen ion chloride ion- phospholipid bilayer glucose chlorine atom- ATP ribosome Briefly explain your reasoning below. How do you know which is bigger and which is smaller? (For example, for chlorine atom versus chloride ion, please write something like, "chloride ion has an additional electron versus chlorine atom.")Explanation / Answer
1)-11-hydrogen atom because it is simplest element with one proton in nucleus.
2)-11-electrons because they are much lighter and smaller than proton and neutron. Atom is made up of these three particles.
3)-1-visible NaCl crystal because it is visible to optical microscopy.
4)-11-carbon is usually small atom because its nucleus contain six proton and six neutron.
5)-11-hydrogen ion is smallest because it contain only one proton.
6)-1-chloride ion is larger because negative ion is significantly larger than atom.
7)-1-phospholipid bilayer is larger because it is made up of larger molecules.
8)-11-glucose is smaller unit from which starch is formed.
10)-1-ATP is complex structure because it is made up of three molecules.
