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>

An atom's tendency is to become stable. What does this mean? A. The electrons all move to one electron shell. B. The atom gains
masya89 [10]
The answer is D. To put it simply, all atom wished to become stable. The only way for that is to obtain an octet structure where the outermost shell would have 8 electrons, thus being full.

If an experiment calls for 0.200mole acetic acid (Hc2H3O2)how many grams of glacial acetic acid do we need?
bija089 [108]
<h3>Molar mass:-</h3>

\\ \sf\longmapsto HC_2H_3O_2

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1u+2(12u)+3(1u)+2(16u)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1u+24u+3u+48u

\\ \sf\longmapsto 28u+48u

\\ \sf\longmapsto 76u

\\ \sf\longmapsto 76g/mol

  • No of moles=0.2mol
  • Given mass=?

\\ \sf\longmapsto No\:of\;moles=\dfrac{Given\:Mass}{Molar\:Mass}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.2=\dfrac{Given\:mass}{76}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Given\:Mass=0.2\times 76

\\ \sf\longmapsto Given\:Mass=1.52g
