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>

Using the electronegativity values in the chart below, which bond is the most polar?
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

C-O

Explanation:

you have to check the all four bonds and find out their electronegativity difference. Whichever has the largest difference, is your answer.

  1. N-O = 3.04 - 3.44 = -0.4
  2. Cl-Cl = 3.16 -3.16 = 0
  3. C-O = 3.44 -  2.55 = 0.89
  4. C-H = 2.55 - 2.20= 0.35

Now check the differences, the largest electronegativity differences means the most polar bond

If 20.0 grams of Na reacts with 30.0 gtams of Cl2 what mass of NaCl is produfed by the reaction
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

mNaCl = mNa + mCl

mNa = 20g

mCl = mCl2/2 = 30/2 = 15g

mNaCl= 20+15 = 35g

A 30.0 g sample of a metal was heated in a hot water bath to 80°c. it was then quickly transferred to a coffee-cup calorimeter.
Annette [7]
when the metal  is lost heat and the calorimeter of water is gained the heat 

and when the heat lost = the heat gained so,

(M*C*ΔT)m =  (M*C*ΔT)w

when Mm= mass of the metal = 30 g 

Δ Tm = (80-25) = 55 °C

and Mw = mass of water = 100 g  

Cw is the specific heat of water = 4.181 J/g.°C

ΔTw = (25-20) = 5 °C

so by substitution:

∴ 30* Cm*55 = 100 * 4.181 * 5 

∴Cm (specific heat of metal) = (100*4.181*5)/(30*55) 

∴C of metal = 1.267 J/g.°C

A certain FM radio wave has a frequency of 1.31 x 108 Hz. Given that radio waves travel at
Westkost [7]

Answer:

2.28 m

Explanation:

Use the relationship  

λ=vf

 

to solve for wavelength λ. Substituting the known quantities yields:

λ=vf

 

λ=2.99 x 108 m/s1.31 x 108 Hz

 

λ=2.28 m
