Answer: Yes, metals and non-metals forms ionic bonds.

Explanation:

Ionic bond is defined as the bond which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

The atom which looses the electron is known as electropositive atom and the atom which gains the electron is known as electronegative atom. This bond is usually formed between a metal and a non-metal.

For Example: Formation of sodium chloride

Sodium is a metal and is the 11th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^1$

To form $Na^{+}$ ion, this element will loose 1 electron.

Chlorine is a non-metal and is the 17th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^5$ .

To form $Cl^{-}$ ion, this element will gain 1 electron.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the compound formed between sodium and chlorine atom is NaCl

Hence, metals and non-metals forms ionic bonds.

A sample of gas occupies a volume of 61.5 mL . As it expands, it does 130.1 J of work on its surroundings at a constant pressure

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

the final volume of the gas is $V_2$ = 1311.5 mL

Explanation:

Given that:

a sample gas has an initial volume of 61.5 mL

The workdone = 130.1 J

Pressure = 783 torr

The objective is to determine the final volume of the gas.

Since the process does 130.1 J of work on its surroundings at a constant pressure of 783 Torr. Then, the pressure is external.

Converting the external pressure to atm ; we have

External Pressure $P_{ext}$ :

$P_{ext} = 783 \ torr \times \dfrac{1 \ atm}{760 \ torr}$

$P_{ext} = 1.03 \ atm$

The workdone W = $P_{ext}$ V

The change in volume ΔV= $\dfrac{W}{P_{ext}}$

ΔV = $\dfrac{130.1 \ J \times \dfrac{1 \ L \ atm}{ 101.325 \ J} }{1.03 \ atm }$

ΔV = $\dfrac{1.28398717 }{1.03 }$

ΔV = 1.25 L

ΔV = 1250 mL

Recall that the initial volume = 61.5 mL

The change in volume V is $\Delta V = V_2 -V_1$

$- V_2= - \Delta V -V_1$

multiply through by (-), we have:

$V_2= \Delta V+V_1$

$V_2$ = 1250 mL + 61.5 mL

$V_2$ = 1311.5 mL

∴ the final volume of the gas is $V_2$ = 1311.5 mL

The chemical formula of ordinary sugar is C12H22O11. Calculate the mass of 7.35 mol of sugar.

ch4aika [34]

First, you need to find the mass of 1 mol of sugar. Mass, or molar mass, can simply be found by adding the masses of the individual elements. These are given to you on the periodic table.

$C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}$

12 x 12.011 grams (molar mass of Carbon) = 144.132 g

22 x 1.008 grams (molar mass of Hydrogen) = 22.176 g

11 x 15.999 grams (molar mass of Oxygen) = 175.989 g

Add all of the pieces together.

144.132 g + 22.176 g + 175.989 g = 342.297 grams

So, if one mole has 342.297 grams, then 7.35 of that amount will be your answer.

342.297 g/mol x 7.35 mol = 2,515.88 grams

Explain why more iron filings are located at the ends of the magnet than at

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Inside the bar magnet, the B is actually stronger at the centre (like in the case of a solenoid). Outside the bar magnet, B is small near the centre since there are very less open field lines there. ... A magnet has attracted iron pieces for many times your welcome XD

If a particle has Z = 25 and 23 electrons, what is its charge?

Anton [14]

Answer:- The charge is +2.

Explanations:- Z stands for atomic number. The Z is given as 25 means the atomic number of the element is 25. It has 23 electrons. For a neutral atom the number of electrons is same as the atomic number. Since the number of electrons is less than atomic number, the atom must have lost the electrons.

Number of electrons lost = 25 - 23 = 2

If the element lost electrons then it has positive charge. As, the electrons are lost, the charge is +2.
