Which of the following pairs of elements is most likely to form an ionic compound?1.Nitrogen and sulfur? OR 2. Magnesium and Flu
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

  • <u><em>Magnesium and fluorine.</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Ionic compounds</em> are formed by the electrostatic attraction of cations and anions.

Cations, positive ions, are formed when atoms lose electrons, and anions, negative ions, are formed when atoms gain electrons.

When two different atoms have similar atraction for electrons (electronegativity) they will not donate to nor catch electrons from each other, so cations and anions will not be formed. Instead, the atoms would prefer to share electrons forming covalent bonds to complete their outermost shell (octet rule).

Then, in order to form ionic compounds the electronegativities have to substantially different. This situation does not happen between two nonmetal elements, which nitrogen and sulfur are. Then, you can predict safely that nitrogen and sulfur will not form an ionic compound.

Ionic compounds, then require the electronegativity difference that exist between some metals and nonmetals. Being magnesium an alkaline earth metal, its electronegativity is very low. On the other hand, fluorine the first element of the group 17, has the highest electronegativity of all the elements.Thus magnesium and fluorine will have enough electronegativity difference to justify the exchange of electrons, forming ions and, consequently, ionic compounds.

The ionization of pure water forms _____.
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer: The ionization of pure water forms <u><em>hydroxide and hydronium ions.</em></u>

Explanation:

Ionization is a reaction in the pure water in which water breaks down into its constituting ions that hydronium ion and hydroxide ions.

H_2O+H_2O\rightleftharpoons H_3O^++OH^-

One molecule of water looses its proton to form hydroxide ion and l=the lost protons get associated with another water molecule to form hydronium ion.

A solution of hydrocloric acid has a molarity of 2.25 M HCl. If a reaction requires 5.80 g of HCI, what
Natali [406]

Answer:

0.071L

Explanation:

From the question given, we obtained the following data:

Molarity of HCl = 2.25 M

Mass of HCl = 5.80g

Molar Mass of HCl = 36.45g/mol

Number of mole of HCl =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of HCl = 5.8/36.45 = 0.159mole

Now, we can obtain the volume required as follows:

Molarity = mole /Volume

Volume = mole /Molarity

Volume = 0.159mole/ 2.25

Volume = 0.071L
