What happens to the valence electrons of a metal and a nonmetal when they form an ionic bond

Physics
1 answer:
shusha [124]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are also known as electrovalent bonds.

For ionic bonds to form, there is transfer of valence electrons from the metal to the non-metal. Metals are electropositive and would easily allow electrons to leave.

The goal of bonding is to achieve the octet configuration. An atom can lose or gain electrons to achieve this.

For example, to form NaCl, Na would loose its 1 valence electron. Cl would gain the Valence electron and complete it's octet with it.

This transfer of electron creates the ionic bond.

The metal which is less electronegative becomes positively charged. The non metal being more electronegative would become negatively charged.

Ionic compounds are polar compounds.

If the frequency of sound is doubled, how will its speed change? how will its wavelength change?
eimsori [14]

From the given equation we can deduce what changes will occur if the frequency of the sound is doubled

V= f (λ)

Speed = frequency. Wavelength  

When the frequency is doubled, speed will not change. Because speed depends on factors like temperature, air pressure, density of the gas. Since all these factors are unchanged thus speed will remain unchanged

Frequency is the number of waves produced per second. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional .Thus, if the frequency is doubled the wavelength would be halved.

Please help ASAP will mark brainliest How do we find the amount of uncertainty we should expect in our measurement of the period
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

The relative uncertainty gives the uncertainty as a percentage of the original value. Work this out with: Relative uncertainty = (absolute uncertainty ÷ best estimate) × 100%. So in the example above: Relative uncertainty = (0.2 cm ÷ 3.4 cm) × 100% = 5.9%. The value can therefore be quoted as 3.4 cm ± 5.9%.
