Answer:

Explanation:

Cation:

When an atom lose the electron positive charge is created on atom and atom is called cation.

Anion:

When an atom accept an electron negative charge is created on atom and it is called anion.

Electron have negative charge that's why when in loses from atom negative charge become less and positive charge is increased that's why atom when lose the electron have positive charge.

When atom accept the electron one more negative charge is created and anion is formed because of this negative charge.

When both anion and cations are combine ionic bond is formed.

For example:

sodium atom loses its one valance electron and form cation Na⁺ chlorine atom gain one electron and form anion Cl⁻. both combine to form sodium chloride through ionic bond.

What is the volume of 40g of sugar given it’s listed density
lora16 [44]

Answer:

25.157 cm³

Explanation:

Data Given:

Mass of Sugar (m) = 40g

Density of sugar given in literature = 1.59 g/cm³

Volume of Sugar = ?

The formula will be used is

                              d = m/v ........................................... (1)

where

D is density

m is the mass

v is the volume

So

Rearrange the Equation (1)

                              d x v = m

                               v = m/ d         ................................................ (2)

put the given values in Equation  (2)

                       v = 40g / 1.59 g/cm³

                       v = 25.157 cm³

volume of 40 g of sugar = 25.157 cm³

How many atoms are in 4.6 mol K?
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

27.7  × 10²³ atoms

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Potassium = 4.6 mol

Number of atoms = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

For 4.6 moles of K:

One mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

4.6 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms= 27.7  × 10²³ atoms
