How does an atom become a positively charged ion

When, it donates electons.

as for example take
NaCl ( sodium chloride)

it's an ionic compund,
that means it is formed by donating or gaining electrons

Na is writen first than, it must be electropositive i.e it has donated electons which made it positive and the clorine gains electron so it's electronegative.

Na is positive because
as we know it's atomic number is 11 that means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons
now, when it donate electon it has, greater number of protons whose change is +ve so the atom becomes overall positively charged ion or cation.

and something same happens in clorine and because it gains one electron and the number of electrons increase in it by 1 whise charge is -ve so, the atom becomes negatively charged ion or anion which has a -1 charge.

How is mercury obtained and separated from other nearby substances?​
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Most mercury forms in a sulfide ore called cinnabar, but mercury is also frequently found in small amounts in other ores. A common method for separating mercury from cinnabar is to crush the ore and then heat it in a furnace in order to vaporize the mercury. This vapor is then condensed into liquid mercury form.

250 mL of a solution of calcium oxalate is the evaporated until only a residue of solid calcium
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

2.3 * 10^-5

Explanation:

Recall that the solubility of a solute is the amount of solute that dissolves in 1 dm^3 or 1000cm^3 of solution.

Hence;

Amount of calcium oxalate = 154 * 10^-3/128.097 g/mol = 1.2 * 10^-3 mols

From the question;

1.2 * 10^-3 mols dissolves in 250 mL

x moles dissolves in 1000mL

x = 1.2 * 10^-3 mols * 1000/250

x= 4.8 * 10^-3 moldm^-3

CaC2O4(s) ------->Ca^2+(aq) + C2O4^2-(aq)

Hence Ksp = [Ca^2+] [C2O4^2-]

Where;

[Ca^2+] = [C2O4^2-] = 4.8 * 10^-3 moldm^-3

Ksp = (4.8 * 10^-3)^2

Ksp = 2.3 * 10^-5

The electron configuration of an element is 1s22s22p4.
MissTica

The likely thing which happens when two atoms of this element move toward each other is covalent bonding.

<h3>What is Covalent bonding?</h3>

This involves the atoms of element sharing electrons in order to achieve a stable octet configuration.

The element is oxygen which has an atomic number of 8 and needs two electrons to complete its outermost shell which results in the formation of two covalent bonds.
