<u>Answer:</u> The given statement is true.

<u>Explanation:</u>

An ion is formed when a neutral atom looses or gains electrons.

  • When an atom looses electrons, it results in the formation of positive ion known as cation.
  • When an atom gains electrons, it results in the formation of negative ion known as anion.

Metals are the elements which have a tendency to loose electrons and thus they form cations. <u>Example:</u> Lithium will loose 1 electron to form Li^+ ion.

Non-metals are the elements which have a tendency to gain electrons and thus they form anions. <u>Example:</u> Chlorine will gain 1 electron to form Cl^- ion.

Ionic compound is formed by the complete transfer of electrons from 1 atom to another atom. The cation is formed by the loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Hence, the given statement is true.

ANEK [815]

Answer:

A- Physical, B- Chemical, C- chemical, D- Physical

Explanation:

A is physical because you can see it changing its form is changing.

B is Chemical because a new substance is formed creating the orange color of rust.

C is a Chemical reaction because it is being broken down so the banana itself is changing not just how we see it.

D is physical because we are just changing the shape/ size of the item, not anything to do with its substances.

Explain how carbon’s bonding ability makes it unique.
STatiana [176]

\huge\fcolorbox{red}{pink}{Answer ♥}

The carbon atom is unique among elements in its tendency to form extensive networks of covalent bonds not only with other elements but also with itself. ... Moreover, of all the elements in the second row, carbon has the maximum number of outer shell electrons (four) capable of forming covalent bonds.

Hope it helps uh ✌️✌️✌️

Ethanol melts at -114 degree C. The enthalpy of fusion
Brut [27]

Answer: The heat required is 6.88 kJ.

Explanation:

The conversions involved in this process are :

(1):ethanol(s)(-135^0C)\rightarrow ethanol(s)(-114^0C)\\\\(2):ethanol(s)(-114^0C)\rightarrow ethanol(l)(-114^0C)\\\\(3):ethanol(l)(-114^0C)\rightarrow ethanol(l)(-50^0C)

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy change.

\Delta H=[m\times c_{p,s}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})]+n\times \Delta H_{fusion}+[m\times c_{p,l}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})]+n\times \Delta H_{vap}+[m\times c_{p,g}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})]

where,

\Delta H = enthalpy change = ?

m = mass of ethanol = 25.0 g

c_{p,s} = specific heat of solid ethanol= 0.97 J/gK

c_{p,l} = specific heat of liquid ethanol = 2.31 J/gK

n = number of moles of ethanol = \frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{\text{Molar mass of ethanol}}=\frac{25.0g}{46g/mole}=0.543mole

\Delta H_{fusion} = enthalpy change for fusion = 5.02 KJ/mole = 5020 J/mole

T_{final}-T_{initial}=\Delta T = change in temperature

The value of change in temperature always same in Kelvin and degree Celsius.

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get

\Delta H=[25.0 g\times 0.97J/gK\times (-114-(-135)K]+0.534mole\times 5020J/mole+[25.0g\times 2.31J/gK\times (-50-(-114))K]

\Delta H=6885.93J=6.88kJ     (1 KJ = 1000 J)

Therefore, the heat required is 6.88 kJ
