Explanation:
Bond forming:
Given species:
Na - Sodium Cl - Chlorine
Na has a valence electron
Cl has 7 valence electron
To form a bond of this nature, there must be a transfer of electrons.
Here, the bond is between a metal and non-metal
The metal is sodium and the non-metal is chlorine;
Na → Na⁺ + e⁻ loss of 1 electron
2,8,1 2,8
isoelectronic with Neon
Cl + e → Cl⁻ gain of one electron
isoelectronic with Argon
Na⁺ + Cl⁻ → Na⁺.Cl⁻
This bond type is an ionic bond
When the work is being done, it is likely that there is an energy being enforced and when the energy is being enforced, it is likely that the energy present is being transferred in order for the work to be able to be able to be exterted upon
Resistance of a material being scratched in known as: Hardness
O is what should go in the blank. O stands for Oxygen.
