Answer: A. Sodium chloride

Explanation: Sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic compound formed by transfer of electrons from sodium to chlorine.

Electronic configuration of sodium:

[Na]=1s^22s^22p^63s^1

Sodium atom will loose one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form sodium cation with +1 charge.

[Na^+]=1s^22s^22p^63s^0

Electronic configuration of chlorine:

[Cl]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

Chlorine atom will gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form chloride ion with -1 charge.

[Cl^-]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

These ions can be separated in polar solvent water and thus are soluble in water.

Whereas methane (CH_4) is a covalent compound formed by sharing of electrons and is soluble in non polar solvents.

Bromine (Br_2) is a covalent compound formed by sharing of electrons and is soluble in non polar solvents.

Ammonia is produced industrially via this exothermic reaction.
Cloud [144]

Answer:

high pressure of 200-300 atm.

low temp. of between 400-500 degrees celsius:this is for continuous development of ammonia since it decomposes at high temp fathermore the reaction is exothermic

a catalyst to speed up the rate of reaction:i guess it is finely divided iron impregnated in aluminium oxide

platinum can be used as a catalyst but it is easily poisoned

hope it helps

Which statement correctly compares the masses of subatomic particles in an atom such as carbon?
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

C- A proton has about the same mass as a neutron .

Explanation:

In an atom such as a carbon atom, the masses of the proton and neutrons are the same.

The mass of the electrons is very negligible.

  • Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom
  • Neutrons do not carry any charges
  • Both protons and neutrons have similar masses.
  • They contribute the bulk of the mass of the atom.
  • The electrons carry negative charges and they have negligible masses.

The mass of protons and neutrons are similar.

How does water's dissolving power support life on Earth?
kozerog [31]
The dissolving power of water is very important for life on Earth. Wherever water goes, it carries dissolved chemicals, minerals, and nutrients that are used to support living things. Because of their polarity, water molecules are strongly attracted to one another, which gives water a high surface tension
