Answer:
In the given figure, There are two atoms -
- Sodium ( Na )
- Chlorine ( Cl )
sodium has one electron in valence shell and to get noble gas configuration ( stability ) it need to donate the outer most electron.
whereas,
chlorine has 7 electrons in valence shell and to get noble gas configuration ( stability ) it need to get one more electron.
in this condition Na ( sodium ) donates it's outermost electron to Cl ( chlorine ) and both became stable.
but now sodium has more number of protons than the electrons hence it get positive (+) charge and chlorine has more electrons than the protons hence it get negative (-) charge
so, they get stick to each other by strong electrostatic force acting on the charged atoms and forms a salt " NaCl " ( sodium chloride ) .
<em>i</em><em> </em><em>hope</em><em> </em><em>it</em><em> </em><em>helped</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em>
A. an ion
The atom gains a net electrical charge if the number of protons and electrons are not equal which makes it an ion.
Answer:
4.68x10²⁵ ions of Na⁺
Explanation:
First of all, we dissociate the salt:
NaCl(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)
An aqueous solution of NaCl dissociates in chlorides anions and sodium cations. Ratio is 1:1, per 1 mol of NaCl, we have 1 mol of Na⁺
We determine the moles of salt: 4543.3 g . 1mol / 58.45 g = 77.7 moles
77.7 moles are the amount of NaCl, therefore we have 77.7 moles of Na⁺.
We count the ions:
1 mol fo Na⁺ has 6.02x10²³ ions
77.7 moles of Na⁺ must have (77.7 . 6.02x10²³) / 1 = 4.68x10²⁵ ions of Na⁺
