What two types of elements are ionic compounds made of?

mash [69]

Answer:

ionic compounds are made from metal and non mental elements

Explanation:

in this case it is know as an ionic compound because it contains a charge. For example, NaCl is simply a compound as it contains no charges (the charges cancel out as Cl is -1 and Na is +1)

but OH- is an ionic compound as it has a charge if -1 (O has a -2 charge and H has a +1 charge, so -2+1=-1 so OH has -1 charge)

The shielding of electrons gives rise to an effective nuclear charge, Zeff, which explains why boron is larger than oxygen. Esti

Vesna [10]

Zeff = Z - S

Here, Z is the number of protons in the nucleus, that is, atomic number, and S is the number of nonvalence electrons.

For boron, the electronic configuration is 1s₂ 2s₂ 2p₄

Z = 5, S = 2

Zeff = 5-2 = +3

For O, electronic configuration is 1s₂ 2s₂ 2p₄

Z = 8, S = 2

Zeff = 8-2 = +6

Hence, the correct answer is second option, that is, +3 and +6, the Zeff of boron is smaller in comparison to O, thus, boron exhibits a bigger size than O.

Under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, which of the following gases would behave most like an ideal gas?Ne, N₂,

malfutka [58]

Answer:

Explanation:

Atomic number of Ne is 10.

Electronic configuration of Ne:

$1s^2 2s^2 2p^6$

Octet of Ne is complete . Element having complete octet are stable and behave ideal gas.

$N_2$ and $CH_4$ are reactive and hence, does not behave as ideal gas.

Which of the following item(s) explain the differences between the Ka values. Choose one or more: A. The negative charge is on t

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

D. The electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms pull electron density from the oxygen in trifluoroacetate. The negative charge is more stabilized in trifluoroacetate by this effect.

Explanation:

The structures of trifluoroacetate and acetic acid are both shown in the image attached.

The trifluoroacetate anion (CF3CO2-), just like the acetate anion has in the middle, two oxygen atoms.

However, in the trifluoroacetate anion, there are also three electronegative fluorine atoms attached to the nearby carbon atom attached to the carbonyl, and these pull some electron density through the sigma bonding network away from the oxygen atoms, thereby spreading out the negative charge further. This effect, called the "inductive effect" stabilizes the anion formed,the trifouoroacetate anion is thus more stabilized than the acetate anion.

Hence, trifluoroacetic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, having a pKa of -0.18.
