Chemistry

Alenkinab [10]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u> When oppositely charged species interact.

<u>Explanation:</u>

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.

<u>For Example:</u>  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.

Is dissolving salt a chemical change or physical change and why?
Firlakuza [10]

It's a physical change because the composition of the salt hasn't change. Only the change in substance/form has occured. To tell if something has undergone physical change is:

• Melting

• Boiling

• Freezing

• Condensing

• Breaking

• Bending

• Dissolving

• Molecules can change motion and proximity

To tell if something changed chemically:

• Molecules rearrange with other molecules to make new substance

• Can be production of flames

• Color change

• Bubbling/fizzing

• Temp. change

• change in composition

Worldwide, the single most important chemical weathering agent is ________. worldwide, the single most important chemical weathe
Juliette [100K]
The single most important chemical weathering agent is Carbon dioxide.
Weathering refers to the process that change the physical and chemical character of rock at or near the surface. Weathering has a dramatic impact on the composition of Earth's atmosphere. Chemical weathering removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, allowing it to be transformed into limestone and stored in the crust. Without chemical weathering, the elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would have long made Earth too hot to sustain life.
