When an ionic solid is added into a solvent, you can see that the ionic solid dissociates into its respective cations and anions

. The solvent molecules immediately cluster around the ions. This is known as solvation. When the solvent is water, the solvation process is called hydration. Dissolution and hydration occur simultaneously, and salt is said to be dissolved in water. You can observe that some of the ions dissolved in the solution recrystallize or deposit to form the solid salt. When the rate of dissolution equals the rate of recrystallization (deposition), dynamic equilibrium is reached.

The order of the steps, from first to last, is as follows based on the information in the question:

1. Salt is broken down into cations and anions.

2. Anion hydration.

3. Cation hydration.

4. Cations and anions that have been dissolved start to settle as a solid salt.

5. The rate of dissolution and recrystallization are equal.

Without hydration of the ions, the cation and anion cannot get separated. The three processes of ion dissociation, cation hydration, and anion hydration must all take place at once.

<h3>Why water is an effective solvent?</h3>

Water is a great solvent that can dissolve a wide variety of compounds due to its polarity and capacity to create hydrogen bonds.

True or false the si in sih4 does not follow the octet rule because hydrogen is in an unusual oxidation stat
ExtremeBDS [4]
The statement is true. The octet rule refers to the general rule of thumb wherein atoms of main-group elements tend to bond with other atoms in such a way that each atom possesses eight electrons (octet) in their valence shell. They tend to form the same electronic configuration as the noble gases. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. One of which is silane, SiH₄. A hydrogen atom only has 1 valence electron and needs another electron to complete its energy level. This is unlike other atoms, for example, carbon which has 4 valence electrons and needs to form 4 covalent bonds to fill its energy levels. Thus, 4 hydrogen atoms need only 4 more electrons. This is given by the silicon atom which has 4 valence electrons. Therefore, when a silicon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms, the resulting molecule, SiH₄, is a stable one.

Why is the Atlantic Ocean growing larger, but the Pacific Ocean is growing smaller?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

A.The Atlantic Ocean has more mid-ocean ridges than the Pacific Ocean so that keeps it growing larger.

Explanation:

Atlantic ocean is getting bigger because of the presence of spreading centers (divergent plate boundary). ... Pacific Ocean is getting smaller because the pacific plate is subducting along the subduction zones. Subduction zones are areas where old, dense plate subducts beneath a less dense plate.
