An ionic compound is composed of ionic bonds that are formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. The atom that loses electrons acquires a positive charge (cation) while that which gains electrons acquires a negative charge.
In the case of sodium chloride; Sodium Na has 1 electron in its outer orbital while Chlorine Cl has 7 electrons. Thus, Cl requires 1 electron to complete its octet. This electron is donated by Na.
Thus, NaCl is essentially, Na⁺Cl⁻
Ans D) Chlorine becomes an anion by gaining an electron from sodium
Solids have a definite shape and volume. They are always the same shape no matter what they are contained in; their volume is also the same because they don't change unless you add or take away from it.
____________________________________________________________
Liquids have an indefinite shape but definite volume. They expand to fill out the space they are contained in, but their volume doesn't change unless you take out or add more of the liquid.
Gases have an indefinite shape and volume. Gases expand to fill out the space they are in and also don't have a clear shape because they are not always in one form.
Answer:
7.12 mm
Explanation:
From coulomb's law,
F = kqq'/r².................... Equation 1
Where F = force, k = proportionality constant, q and q' = The two point charges, r = distance between the two charges.
Make r the subject of the equation,
r = √(kqq'/F).......................... Equation 2
Given: q = q' = 75.0 nC = 75×10⁻⁹ C, F = 1.00 N
Constant: k = 9.0×10⁹ Nm²/C².
Substitute into equation 2
r = √[ (75×10⁻⁹ )²9.0×10⁹/1]
r = 75×10⁻⁹.√(9.0×10⁹)
r = (75×10⁻⁹)(9.49×10⁴)
r = 711.75×10⁻⁵
r = 7.12×10⁻³ m
r = 7.12 mm
Hence the distance between the point charge = 7.12 mm
Answer: caffeine is a compound.
Explanation:
1) As stated c<span>affeine contains hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms in a fixed ratio.
2) The definition of compound is a pure substance formed by chemical bonding of two or more fifferent elements. That means a defined ratio of the elements in the compound, which conferes uniform and equal properties to every part of the compound.
Some examples of compounds are salt (NaCl), water (H2O), vinegard (CH3 COOH).
A mixture combines several elements or compounds, not bonded by chemical bonds but mixed in ratios which may vary.
