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>

In which of the following types of solution is the rate of dissociation equal to the rate of crystallization? Concentrated Super
Butoxors [25]

In a <u>Saturated </u>solution, the rate of dissociation equal to the rate of crystallization

Explanation:

A saturated solution is one than cannot dissolve any more solute because the solutes inter-molecular spaces are filled with the solute molecules at that temperature. When an attempt is made to dissolve more solute into the solution, the rate at which the solute is dissolved into the solution is equal to the rate at which excess solute is precipitated and crystallized.

A solution has a oh- = 1 x 10-5 m what are the h30 and the ph of the solution
Deffense [45]

I think it's easiest to find the pOH from the given [OH-] first.

-log(1x10^-5)

pOH=5

Then find the pH.

pOH+pH=14

5+pH=14

pH=9

Then find the [H+] using the pH.

antilog(-9) (if you dont have an antilog button use 10^-9)

[H+]=1x10^-9

A compound was isolated and found to contain 72.2% magnesium and the rest nitrogen. What is the empirical formula of this compou
strojnjashka [21]
Since the compound is 72.2% Mg then there would be 27.8% N. Then you can just change it to 72.2 g Mg and 27.8 g N.
then convert to moles by dividing by molecular mass.
72.2÷24.31=2.96 moles Mg
27.8÷14.01=1.98 moles N
then divided by the lowest number.
2.96÷1.98=1.5
Since it is 1.5 you multiply by 2. so you have 3 Mg
1.98÷1.98=1 N
so the empirical formula is Mg3N

Change 6.03x107 to standard notation
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The answer is <u>60300000</u>

Explanation:

The standard notation is the counterpart of the scientific notation, while the scientific notation tries to make the number smaller by using exponential numbers with base 10, the standard notation leaves them as whole numbers or decimal numbers.

Example: 5x10∧3 is written in standard notation as 5000; Where 3 tells us the amount of 0 that follows the whole number.

2.05x10∧2 is = 205 in standard notation; Where the 2 tells us the number of times the comma is moved to the right.
