How do you know how many electrons an element will gain or lose in forming an ion?

1 answer:

7 0

First the element has to be stable. One chooses the easiest way to make the element stable. for example : Al has 13 electrons and you want to make it stable, you consider the outermost electrons where in AL the are three so it is easier for Al to lose three than to gain five

What type of chemical bond would form between an atom of lithium (Li) and an atom of chlorine (Cl). Explain specifically why thi

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Explanation:

When a bond is formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another then it results in the formation of an ionic bond.

An ionic bond is generally formed by a metal and a non-metal.

For example, lithium is an alkali metal with atomic number 3 and its electronic distribution is 2, 1.

And, chlorine is a non-metal with atomic number 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.

So, in order to complete their octet lithium needs to lose an electron and chlorine needs to gain an electron.

Hence, both of then on chemically combining together results in the formation of an ionic compound that is, lithium chloride (LiCl).

An ionic compound is formed by LiCl because lithium has donated its valence electron to the chlorine atom.

On the other hand, if a bond is formed by sharing of electrons between the two chemically combining atoms then it is known as a covalent bond.

For example, $O_{2}$ is a covalent compound as electrons are being shared by each oxygen atom.

What is the preasure in atmospheres of 20 mol of nitrogen gas in 36.2 L cylinder at 25 degrees C?

Savatey [412]

Answer:

P = 13.5 atm

Explanation:

Given that

No. of moles, n = 20 moles

Volume of nitrogen gas = 36.2 L

Temperature = 25°C = 298 K

We need to find the pressure of the gas. Using the ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

Where

R is gas constant, $R=0.082057\ L-atm/K-mol$

So,

$P=\dfrac{nRT}{V}\\\\P=\dfrac{20\times 0.082057\times 298}{36.2 }\\\\P=13.5\ atm$

so, the pressure of the gas is equal to 13.5 atm.

A sample of nitrogen gas, (N2), occupies 45.0 mL at 27.00∘C and 80.0 kPa. What will be the pressure if the gas is cooled to −73.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

The new pressure is 53.3 kPa

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by this law. when the volume remains constant, pressure changes directly proportional as the Aboslute T° is modified.

T° increase → Pressure increase

T° decrease → Pressure decrease

In this case, temperature was really decreased. So the pressure must be lower.

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂

80 kPa / 300K = P₂/200K

(80 kPa / 300K) . 200 K = P₂ → 53.3 kPa
