Na₂O is an ionic compound. Na is in group 1 which means it has one electron in the outer shell. O is in group 6 so it has 6 electrons in the outer shell.
To become stable atoms need to either lose the electrons in the outer shell or gain electrons to gain a complete outer shell configuration.
To become stable Na loses its outer electron and becomes positively charged. It only loses one electron, so net charge is +1. O to become stable gains 2 electrons to complete its outer shell and becomes negatively charged. since it gains 2 electrons, the net charge is -2.
cation - Na⁺
anion - O²⁻
O gains 2 electrons but Na can give only one electron, therefore 2 Na⁺ ions are required.
the compound can be written by exchanging the charges
ions Na⁺ O²⁻
charge +1 -2
exchange Na₂O
Correct answer is <span>Na has +1 charge and O has -2 charge</span>
Answer:
Explanation:Calcium oxide (CaO), commonly known as quicklime or burnt lime, is a widely used chemical ... Chemical formula. CaO ... Both it and a chemical derivative (calcium hydroxide, of which quicklime is the base anhydride) are important commodity ... The major use of quicklime is in the basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS) process.
Atoms are never rearranged
Answer:
Part A
Ag+ is the Lewis acid and NH3 is the Lewis base.
Part B
AlBr3 is the Lewis acid and NH3 is the Lewis base.
Part C
AlCl3 is the Lewis acid and Cl− is the Lewis base.
Explanation:
A Lewis acid is any specie that accepts a lone pair of electrons. Ag^+, AlBr3 and AlCl3 all accepted lone pairs of electrons according to the three chemical reaction equations shown. Hence, they are Lewis acids.
A Lewis base donates a lone pair of electrons. They include neutral molecules having lone pair of electrons such as NH3 or negative ions such as Cl- .
