Ionic bonds are formed when valence electrons are _____ between ____ to form ____
1 answer:
Answer: transferred, atoms , ions
Explanation:
An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.
For formation of an ionic compound, the metal lose electrons to form positively charged ions called as cations and non metals gain electrons to form negatively charged ions called as anions.
For example:
Sodium atom will loose one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form sodium cation with +1 charge.
Chlorine atom will gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form chloride ion with -1 charge.

Answer: -
The experiment Niven is doing is burning of Mg.
The first step would be finding the molar mass of MgO
Atomic mass of Mg = 24 g
Atomic mass of Oxygen = 16 g
Molar mass of MgO = 24 x 1 + 16 x 1 = 40 g
The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is
2 Mg + O2 -- > 2MgO
From the balanced equation we see that
2 Mg gives 2 MgO
2 x24 g of Mg O gives 2 x 40 g of MgO.
28g of MgO gives
= 46.66 g of MgO.
Answer:
696 h
Explanation:
Let's consider the reduction of Cr³⁺.
Cr³⁺(aq) + 3e⁻ → Cr(s)
We can establish the following relations.
- The molar mass of Cr is 52.0 g/mol.
- 1 mol of Cr is deposited when 3 moles of e⁻ circulate.
- 1 mole of e⁻ has a charge of 96468 c (Faraday's constant).
- 1 A = 1 c/s
- 1 h = 3600 s
