Chemistry

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A bond generated after transfer of an electron from one atom to another is known as an ionic bond. And, a bond generated by sharing of electron(s) between two atoms is known as a covalent bond.

Sodium is a metal with atomic number 11 and electronic distribution 2, 8, 1. On the other hand, chlorine is a non-metal with atomic number 17 and electronic distribution 2, 8, 7.

So, in order to attain stability sodium will lose one electron and develop a positive charge as Na^{+}. Whereas chlorine at the same time will take up one electron from sodium atom and acquire a negative charge as Cl^{-}.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chlorine ion form an ionic bond.

How many moles of glucose are in 19.1g of glucose?​
Crank

Answer:

0.106 mol (3s.f.)

Explanation:

To find the number of moles, divide the mass of glucose (in grams) by its Mr. Glucose has a chemical formula of C6H12O6. To find the Mr, add all the Ar of all the atoms in C6H12O6.

Ar of C= 12, Ar of H= 1, Mr of O= 16

These Ar values can be found on the periodic table.

Mr of glucose= 6(12)+ 12(1) + 6(16)= 180

Moles of glucose

= mass ÷ mr

= 19.1 ÷ 180

= 0.106 mol (3 s.f.)

The answer is 1 and 3. The number of atoms per molecule of these three substance is not equal. So they will not contain same number of atoms. And for gas, under same condition with same number of moles will have the same volume. The g.f.w is related to the atomic mass. So they are different.
