Pretend that you are the size of an atom, observing a reaction between a potassium atom and a fluorine atom. Write an account of

the formation of an ionic bond as the atoms react. Tell what happens to the valence electrons on each atom and how each atom is changed by losing or gaining electrons.

 <span>Each atom in an ionic compound tends either to empty or complete the shell to 8 electrons. So when the number of electrons on the external shell is near 8 , the atom tends to attract electrons to complete the shell giving a positive ion called anion 
Conversely when the number of electrons is small the atom gives these electrons to form a positive ion called a cation</span>

How does changing the volume or temperature of a gas affect the pressure of that gas?
Masja [62]

Answer:

When a gas occupies a smaller volume, it exerts a higher pressure; when it occupies a larger volume, it exerts a lower pressure (assuming the amount of gas and the temperature do not change). Since P and V are inversely proportional, a graph of 1/P vs. V is linear.

A 10.00 g sample of a compound containing only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen forms 23.98 g CO2 and 4.91 g H2O upon complete combu
yanalaym [24]
We can determine the empirical formula by first converting each of the grams to moles. remember to do this, first, we need the molar mass of the molecules which can be calculated by adding the mass of the atoms from the periodic table. 

molar mass of CO2= 44.0 g/mol
molar mass of H2O= 18.02 g/mol

now, lets determine the grams of each atom

Carbon: 23.98 g x (12.011 g / 44.01 g) = 6.54 g C

Hydrogen: 4.91 g x (2.0158 g / 18.02 g) = 0.55 g H

Oxygen: 10.0 - (6.54 + 0.55) = 2.91 g O

Now let's convert each mass to moles.

C: 6.54 g / 12.01 g / mol = 0.54 mol
H: 0.55 g / 1.01 g/mol = 0.54 mol
O: 2.91 g / 16.00 g/mol = 0.18 mol

now that we have the moles of each atom, we need to divide them by the smallest value to find the ration. If you do not get the whole number, you need to multiply until to get a whole number.

C:  0.54 mol / 0.18 mol = 3
H:  0.54 mol / 0.18 mol = 3
O: 0.18 mol / 0.18 mol = 1

empirical formula--> C₃H₃O
