Ionic bond is described as the chemical bond between two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bond the metal loses electron forming a positively charged cation and a non metal which accept the cation to form a negatively charged anion. In ionic bond the atoms are held together by electrostatic force of attraction. In ionic bond the anions and cations are present in the ratio where the total charge of the compound becomes zero. For example, Let us consider NaCl compound. An atom of the sodium has three electrons in its valency shell and the electrons are removed from the outer most shell by applying the energy of 5.14 electron volts. The chlorine atom lacks an electron to attain stable electronic configuration and it accepts the electron from the sodium by releasing 3.62 electron volts of energy which means that it takes only 1.52 electron volts of energy to donate an electron to chlorine when both the atoms are far apart. When these electrons are brought together their electric potential becomes more negative. This means that if the neutral sodium and chlorine atoms are found themselves closer it would be energetically favourable to transfer electrons from sodium to chlorine thus resulting in the formation of the ionic bond.
Answer:
C. The sewage system in a neighborhood
The characteristic being calculated here is the mean or the average of the data set.
To check:
(20.73 + 20.76 + 20.68 + 20.75)/4 [we divide it by 4 because there are 4 numbers]
= 82.92 / 4
= 20.73
Answer:
This is because it is a physical change not a chemical change.
go to periodic table
look for the element you want
find the atomic number on the top right hand side of the element
atomic number = equal to number of proton.
find atomic mass bottom right hand side of the element
atomic mass - atomic number = neutron
i hope this will help
Na atomic number 11 and mass number 23
protons 11
neutron =23-11=12
