Ionic bonds are formed as one atom the metal gives up or transfers one of its valence electron to the other atom that would then be able to accept it. This other atom is a non metal. This process occurs because the atoms want to become more stable by each of them satisfying the octet rule. In which atoms would have a maximum of 8 valence electrons.
Answer: Option b. 50 neutrons and 38 protons.
Explanation:
Atomic number = proton number = 38
Mass number = proton number + Neutron
Mass number = 88
Proton = 38
Neutron number =?
Neutron number = Mass number — proton number
Neutron number = 88 —38 = 50
Answer:
The Earth formed billions of years after the Universe formed
Explanation:
The "universe" is said to have been formed <em>billions of year ago</em> through an explosion. This was called the <em>"Big Bang Theory." </em>This lead to the<u> expansion of the universe</u> owing to its high temperature and density. After which, the universe cooled down. Galaxies and stars were then formed. Some of the stars died due to explosion, which then led to the <u>creation of planets</u>. Such formation of the planets happened around <u>4.5 billion years ago.</u> This is <em>9.3 billions of years later</em> than the universe was formed<em> (13.8 billions of years ago)</em>. So, this explains the answer.
Answer:
High melting point,High density,Nonreactive
Explanation:
The following are the Properties of transition elements:
They have large charge/radius ratio. They are harder and they have high densities;.They have high melting and boiling points.They form compounds which are paramagnetic. They show variable oxidation states. They form colored ions and compounds. Compounds are formed with profound catalytic activity. Stable complexes are formed by them.
When Comparing with the alkali metals present in group 1 and the alkaline Earth metals that are present in group 2, the transition metals are considered to be much less reactive. They do not react fast with water or oxygen, which contributes to their resistance to corrosion.
