Answer:

Ionic or electrovalent bonds

Explanation:

Ionic or electrovalent bonds are interatomic or intramolecular bonds which are formed between two kinds of atoms having a large electronegativity difference usually 2.1.

Electronegativity is the property that combines the ability of an atom to gain or lose electrons. It is expressed as the tendency with which atoms of elements attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.

In this bond type, a metal transfers its electrons to a more electronegative atom which is a non-metal.

The answer is: a. ionic bonding.

Ionic bond is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (cations and anions).  

(brainliest would be great)

For example, compound magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) has ionic bond.  

In this example, chlorine is large company, because it has greater electronegativity than magnesium (small company) and take electrons (assets) from it.

Magnesium (Mg) transfers two electrons, became positive cation, to chlorine (Cl), which became negative anion.  

Magnesium is metal from group 2 and chlorine is nonmetal from group 17 of the Periodic table.  

Electronegativity (χ) is a property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons.

Write the balanced chemical equation for the combination (synthesis) reaction of magnesium with oxygen gas. phases are optional.
NISA [10]
The answer to this question would be:2 Mg<span> + O</span>2<span> = 2 MgO

Magnesium is a metal that can be oxidized easily. The reaction of magnesium and oxygen can be said as burning the magnesium. The reaction can provide a bright light with violet color. Magnesium used mostly in solid state and the oxygen is gas.</span>

The Synthesis Reaction of aluminum (Al) and iodine (I) forms a new, more complex
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Aluminum iodide (AlI₃)

Explanation:

The synthesis reaction of aluminum (Al) and iodine (I) can be illustrated as shown below:

Aluminium exhibit trivalent positive ion (Al³⁺)

Iodine exhibit univalent negative ion (I¯)

During reaction, there will be an exchange of ion as shown below:

Al³⁺ + I¯ —> AlI₃

Thus, we can write the balanced equation for the reaction as follow:

Al + I₂ —› AlI₃

There are 2 atoms of I on the left side and 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of AlI₃ and 3 in front of I₂ as shown below:

Al + 3I₂ —› 2AlI₃

There are 2 atoms of Al on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of Al as shown below:

2Al + 3I₂ —› 2AlI₃

Thus the equation is balanced.

The product on the reaction is aluminum iodide (AlI₃)
