An ionic bond forms when atoms blank electrons

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

An ionic bond forms when atoms transfer electrons.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed when atoms transfer electrons. (In contrast, covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons.)

There's a distinction between the two: when two atoms react to form an ionic bond, one atom would completely lose one electron, while the other would completely gain that electron. The atom that loses the electron becomes a positively-charged ion called a cation, whereas the atom that gains the electron becomes a negatively-charged ion called an anion.

For example, consider the reaction between a sodium $\rm Na$ atom and a chlorine $\rm Cl$ atom: $\rm Na + Cl \to NaCl$ .

When the sodium atom and the chlorine atom encounter, the sodium atom would lose one electron to form a positively-charged sodium ion, $\rm Na^{+}$ . The chlorine atom would gain that electron to form a negatively-charged chlorine ion $\rm Cl^{-}$ .

These two ions will readily attract each other because of the opposite electrostatic charges on them. This electrostatic attraction (between two ions of opposite charges) is an ionic bond.

Overall, it would appear as if the sodium $\rm Na$ atom transferred an electron to the chlorine $\rm Cl$ atom to form an ionic bond.

In contrast, when two atoms react to form a covalent bond, they share electrons without giving any away completely. Therefore, it is possible to break certain covalent bonds apart (using a beam of laser, for example) and obtain neutral atoms.

On the other hand, when an ionic bond was broken, the result would be two charged ions- not necessarily two neutral atoms. The electron transfer could not be reversed by simply breaking the bond.

For example, when table salt $\rm NaCl$ is melted (at a very high temperature,) the ionic bond between the sodium ions and chloride ions would (mostly) be broken. However, doing so would only generate a mixture of $\rm Na^{+}$ and $\rm Cl^{-}$ ions- not sodium and chlorine atoms.

A sample of gas is observed to effuse through a pourous barrier in 4.98 minutes. Under the same conditions, the same number of m

kogti [31]

Answer:

The molar mass of the unknown gas is $\mathbf{ 51.865 \ g/mol}$

Explanation:

Let assume that the gas is O2 gas

O2 gas is to effuse through a porous barrier in time t₁ = 4.98 minutes.

Under the same conditions;

the same number of moles of an unknown gas requires time t₂ = 6.34 minutes to effuse through the same barrier.

From Graham's Law of Diffusion;

Graham's Law of Diffusion states that, at a constant temperature and pressure; the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density.

i.e

$R \ \alpha \ \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{d}}$

$R = \dfrac{k}{d}$ where K = constant

If we compare the rate o diffusion of two gases;

$\dfrac{R_1}{R_2}= {\sqrt{\dfrac{d_2}{d_1}}$

Since the density of a gas d is proportional to its relative molecular mass M. Then;

$\dfrac{R_1}{R_2}= {\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{M_1}}$

Rate is the reciprocal of time ; i.e

$R = \dfrac{1}{t}$

Thus; replacing the value of R into the above previous equation;we have:

$\dfrac{R_1}{R_2}={\dfrac{t_2}{t_1}}$

We can equally say:

${\dfrac{t_2}{t_1}}= {\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{M_1}}$

${\dfrac{6.34}{4.98}}= {\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{32}}$

$M_2 = 32 \times ( \dfrac{6.34}{4.98})^2$

$M_2 = 32 \times ( 1.273092369)^2$

$M_2 = 32 \times 1.62076418$

$\mathbf{M_2 = 51.865 \ g/mol}$

Explanation:

En 1945, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, dos ciudades japonesas; Hiroshima y Nagasaki fueron bombardeadas con bombas atómicas durante el ataque ofensivo.

Hiroshima fue bombardeada el 6 de agosto de 1945 mientras que Nagasaki fue bombardeada el 9 de agosto de 1945.

Las bombas provocaron la muerte instantánea de aproximadamente 120.000 personas y obligaron al emperador japonés a rendirse incondicionalmente.

Energy to thermal energy.

sergiy2304 [10]

A hair dryer converts "electrical energy" to "thermal energy".

Option: C

<u>Explanation</u>:

The "electricity" is converted to "heat energy" in a "wire coil". Here electricity process "air" out of "the hair dryer" with the help of forced convection. Most hairdryers use a nichrome wire coil that will not oxidize when heated and allowing it to "blow" the hair dry with high temperature air which speeds up evaporation. Thus "wire heats" the "air faster", in most of the "hair dryers" the "air" is only in "the barrel" for "half of a second".
