How are ionic bonds formed

1 answer:

4 0

Ionic bonds are formed as one atom the metal gives up or transfers one of its valence electron to the other atom that would then be able to accept it. This other atom is a non metal. This process occurs because the atoms want to become more stable by each of them satisfying the octet rule. In which atoms would have a maximum of 8 valence electrons.

There are islands in the ocean that grow larger the Hawaiian islands are good examples of this the reason that the islands were

vredina [299]

Explanation:

The reasons that islands formed are still growing is simply because newer materials are being added to them.

A growing earth is as a result of addition of more materials arising from the mantle.
Generally, Volcanic islands forms as a result of magma that reaches the surface or ocean floor from deeper part of the earth.
This usually occurs in places around a plate boundary where materials upwells from the asthenosphere or shallow crustal melting.
As more materials are being melted, more also reaches the surface and continues to make the Island grow.

Which of the following lists the elements in order of increasing malleability?

Juliette [100K]

The answer would be (B) Sb, Sn, Se.

The periodic table may look like a confusing checkerboard of elements, but they are categorized in more ways than you may know.

For malleability, we look for metals. Metals/metallic elements have characteristics like electrical conductivity, malleability, ductility, and other physical characteristics like luster. The more an element is metallic, the more of these characteristics it will have.

So to answer this question, you simply have to see what kind of elements these are:

Sb, 51 (Antimony): Metalloid

Sn, 50 (Tin): Transition Metal

Se, 34 (Selenium): Non-Metal

Therefore, Antimony will have more metal characteristics than the rest, putting it at the top. Selenium is a non-metal, so that goes at the bottom, and Tin will be second.

Which change will cause the greatest increase in the rate of reaction for this chemical reaction? 8Zn(s) + S8(s) 8ZnS(s) A. addi

Rus_ich [418]

I found another question like this. Someone answered "The best answer to this question is adding a catalyst.

Adding a catalyst will cause the greatest increase in the rate of reaction for this chemical reaction , 8Zn(s) + S8(s) 8ZnS(s). ---> adding a catalyst always affects the rate of a reaction."

explain why particles of colloidal solution donot settle down when left undisturbed , while in the case of suspensions they do .

Leni [432]

Answer:

the partial of colloidal are smaller and they are not heavy whereas the partial of suspension are larger but they are heavy and less movement thus they settle down due to gravity
