Sodium reacts with fluorine to make a covalent bond between them.  A covalent bond is formed when there is a mutual sharing of electrons between the two adjacent atoms.

Here, Sodium is metal and fluorine is non-metal. So, the bond between them may be an ionic bond, but as the Sodium has one valence electron and fluorine is highly electronegative. Sodium wants to lose electrons and fluorine wants to gain electrons to form a chemical bond. Therefore, the sodium donates its valence electron to fluorine, forms a cation, and fluorine accepts the electron and forms an anion and they distribute the difference in the charge between them.

So, we can say that when sodium and fluorine react to form sodium fluoride with a covalent bond.

Describe how particles of iron (Fe) an oxygen (O2) react to how produce oxide (Fe2O3), also known as rust.
forsale [732]

Answer:

Described by a redox reaction below

Explanation:

Iron(III) oxide is an ionic compound, since it consists of a metal, iron, and a nonmetal, oxygen.

Ionic compounds are formed when metals lose their valence electrons in order to have an octet in their previous shell and donate them to nonmetal atoms, so that nonmetals fill their outer shell to have an octet.

As a result, positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions) are formed. When iron reacts with oxygen, the following reaction takes place:

4 Fe (s) + 3 O_2 (g)\rightarrow 2 Fe_2O_3 (s)

This is a redox (oxidation–reduction) reaction, since we have electron loss and gain. Four iron atoms lose a total of 12 electrons to obtain a +3 charge in the final compound, while 3 oxygen molecules gain these 12 electrons to become 6 oxide anions with a -2 charge.

A. 0.5 m/s<br>b. 0.75 m/s<br>c. 2 m/s<br>d. 3 m/s ​
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Option a. 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

This graph shows a straight line, where "Y" axis would be "Position" and "X" graph would be "Time". The ecuation that would describe this straight line is Y= aX + 1 , where "a" is the slope or inclination for this graph, and would give us the speed of the object

How do we find the slope (and hence, the speed)?: if you notice this graph, you will check that:

-When X (Time) is zero, Y (Position) is 1

-When X (Time) is 2, Y (Position) is 2

With these 4 points, you can calculate the slope (which will call "m") for this graph with:

m = (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)   so: Y2=2, Y1=1, X2=2, X1=0

Which gives us: m=1/2 (0.5), the slope or speed of the object: 0.5 m/s

Which must be the same when comparing 1 mol of oxygen, O2, with 1 mol of carbon monoxide has, CO?
Sloan [31]
Answer: 1 mol of oxygen, O₂, and 1 mol of CO will have the same number of molecules, and the same number of atoms.

Justification:


Althought the question is too open, other answers may arise, the most remarkable similarity between the two compounds is that both are diatomic.

That means that both molecules oxygen, O₂, and carbon monoxide, CO have two atoms.

So, 1 mol of oxygen, O₂, and 1 mol of CO will have the same number of molecules, and the same number of atoms.


You must remember that 1 mol means a specific number. It is Avogadro's number, which is 6.022 × 10 ²³.

So 1 mol of CO and 1 mol of O₂ are the same number of representative particles: 6.022 ×10²³ molecules eac, and two times that number of atoms each (since each molecule has two atoms).

Describe the direction of the wind movement around the center of high air pressure
Artemon [7]

The coriolis force caused by the Earth's rotation is what gives winds within high-pressure systems their clockwise circulation in the northern hemisphere (as the wind moves outward and is deflected right from the center of high pressure) and counterclockwise circulation in the southern hemisphere (as the wind moves ...
