<u>Answer:</u> Non-metals form ions when they gain electrons.
<u>Explanation:</u>
An ion is formed when an atom looses or gains electron.
- When an atom looses electrons, it will form a positive ion known as cation.
- When an atom gains electrons, it will form a negative ion known as anion.
Metals are the elements which have a tendency to loose electrons and thus they form cations. <u>Example:</u> Sodium will loose 1 electron to form
ion.
Non-metals are the elements which have a tendency to gain electrons and thus they form anions. <u>Example:</u> Fluorine will gain 1 electron to form
ion.
Hence, non-metals form ions when they gain electrons.
A cl2 molecule is a diatomic molecule composed of two atoms of identical halogen - chlorine. In this case, this molecule is composed of covalent bonds in which the identical atom- molecule tells that this is also non-polar. To break the bond, energy has to be absorbed to break the intermolecular force that bound the molecule together.
density= mass/volume
we need the volume of the metal to find the density, in which case the answer would be 64.2/volume=density
