Answer: When oppositely charged species interact.

Explanation:

Ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed by the complete transfer of electrons from one element to another element.

In these compounds, oppositely charged ions are attracted towards each other to form a compound.

For Example: NaCl is formed by the attraction of $Na^+\text{ and }Cl^-$ ions. So, same number of oppositely charges maintain electrical neutrality.

Electrical neutrality in a compound is achieved when atoms forming a compound have same number of opposite charges. Basically the charges on cation is balanced by the charges on anion.

Why a neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons

Alex777 [14]

Explanation:

When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. ... Chemically, we say that the atoms have formed bonds.

A water bottle has a mass of 14.0g. Given a density of 1.38g/cm^3, what is the volume of the plastic used to make the water bott

Kipish [7]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Volume \ of \ plastic \ used = 10.14 \ cm^3}$

Given:

Mass = 14.0 g

Density ( $\rho$ ) = 1.38 g/cm³

To Find:

Volume (V)of the plastic used to make water bottle

Explanation:

Formula:

$\boxed{ \bold{Density \ (\rho) = \frac{Mass \ (m)}{Volume \ (V)}}}$

Substituting value of m & density in the formula:

$\sf \implies 1.38 = \frac{14.0}{V} \\ \\ \sf \implies V = \frac{14.0}{1.38} \\ \\ \sf \implies V = 10.14 \ cm^3$

$\therefore$

Volume of the plastic used to make water bottle = 10.14 cm³

What is the relationship between mass and the end stages of stars

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

The mass of stars affect how they end.

Stars with greater mass sometimes end with supernovas, a giant explosion, which can result in black holes or neutron stars, or sometimes nothing.

A medium sized star can result in a planetary nebula, which then results in a white dwarf.

Haha hope this sorta helped :)
