What is an ionic bond?

Chemistry
1 answer:
quester [9]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

D = A bond resulting from the transfer of one or more electrons.

Explanation:

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Explanation:

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion.  

while by sharing of electrons covalent bond is formed.

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial negative.

. an ionic compound is composed of 34.95 g of iron and 15.05 g of oxygen. find the empirical formula of this compound.
Contact [7]

Empirical formula of ionic compound is FeO. In which the composition of atoms is 1 : 1.

Empirical formula of an ionic compound is defined as the formula which gives whole number ratio of atoms of various elements present in molecule of compund.

mass of iron in compound = 34.95 g

molar mass of iron = 55.8 g

mass of oxygen in compound = 15.05 g

molar mass of oxygen = 32 g

number of moles of iron present in the compound are ratio of mass of iron in compound/ molar mass of iron

number of moles of iron in compound= 34.95 / 55.8 = 0.6263 ~ 1

number of moles oxygen in compound= 15.05/ 32 = 0.473 ~ 0.5

the ratio of the number of oxygen atoms to number of iron atoms present in one formula unit of iron compund is 2×0.5 / 1 = 1 : 1

Hence , the required empirical formula of iron compound is FeO.

If the atomic mass of 1 oxygen atom is 15.9994 amu, how much mass does of oxygen have?​
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Oxygen's atomic weight is 16.00 amu. 1 mole of oxygen is 6.02 x 1023 atoms of oxygen 1 amu = 1.661 x 10-24g What is the molar mass (g/mole) of oxygen? Molar mass (in grams) is always equal to the atomic weight of the atom! Molar mass (in grams) is always equal to the atomic weight of the atom!
