Answer:
a stable octet state
Explanation:
a stable octet state is when all the energy levels of the atoms are filled with electrons and they are stabe
Answer:
Option B, HCO3 1-
Explanation:
The valence of Sodium ion is +1 and the valence of HCO3 is -1. Thus, sodium ion has an extra electron to be donated to complete its outer shell while HCO3 needs an electron to complete its outer shell
Hence Na will combine with HCO3 to form NaHCO3
Option B is correct
Answer:
Explanation:
The atom X has 1 1 protons (atomic number) and thus would have 11 electrons. This means the atom X would have 1 valence electron in it's outermost shell. While the atom Y has 17 protons (atomic number) and thus would have 17 electrons. This means the atom Y would have 7 electrons in it's outermost shell.
The type of bond this atoms (X and Y) would form is an Ionic (or electrovalent) bond. <u>This bond/combination involves the transfer of electron(s) and a molecule is not formed</u> as seen in the image below.
