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.

Virty [35]

Answer:

MnO4⁻ (aq) + 8H⁺ (aq) + 5Fe³⁺ (aq) →Mn(aq)²⁺ + 4H2O (l) + 5Fe²⁺(aq)

Explanation:

a)

MnO4⁻ (aq) + 8H⁺ (aq) + 5e⁻ → Mn(aq)²⁺ + 4H2O (l)

b)

5Fe³⁺ (aq) +5e⁻ → 5Fe²⁺(aq)

c)

MnO4⁻ (aq) + 8H⁺ (aq) + 5Fe³⁺ (aq) →Mn(aq)²⁺ + 4H2O (l) + 5Fe²⁺(aq)

Explanation- All three acids that are given combined together to form acid rain in which nitric and sulphuric acid are stronger acids present while carbonic acid is a weaker one.

The carbon dioxide admitted in air combines with water to form carbonic acid and gives a weak acidic nature to rainwater. Pollution in nature makes sulphur and nitrogen present in air react to form the stronger acids responsible for acid rain.
