Answer:
Ions
Explanation:
Ionic bonds are formed when an element loses electrons (usually a metal), and other elements gain these electrons(usually a nonmetal or the hydrogen). When the element loses electrons, it becomes a cation, an ion with a positive charge; and when the element gains electrons it becomes an anion, an ion with a negative charge.
The charge in the ions produces an electrostatic attraction between them, and that attraction is the force that gets them together in a bond.
Noble gases are the elements located in the eighth group of the periodic table. These elements have the following properties:
They are odorless
They have single atoms (monoatomic)
They are colorless
They have very low chemical reactivity
The naturally occurring noble gases are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon.
Answer:
120g
Explanation:
Step 1:
We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction.
Sn + 2HF —> SnF2 + H2
Step 2:
Determination of the number of mole HF needed to react with 3 moles of Sn.
From the balanced equation above,
1 mole of Sn and reacted with 2 moles of HF.
Therefore, 3 moles Sn will react with = 3 x 2 = 6 moles of HF.
Step 3:
Conversion of 6 moles of HF to grams.
Number of mole HF = 6 moles
Molar Mass of HF = 1 + 19 = 20g/mol
Mass of HF =..?
Mass = number of mole x molar Mass
Mass of HF = 6 x 20
Mass of HF = 120g
Therefore, 120g of HF is needed to react with 3 moles of Sn.
