What is an ionic compound? How is electrical neutrality maintained in an ionic compound?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alenkinab [10]3 years ago
7 0

<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.

The concentration of hydroxide ions is less than the concentration of hydronium ions for acidic solutions. True False
wolverine [178]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

It's true because the pH is a measure of how basic or acid a solution is. In an acidic medium, the pH scales goes from 0 to 7. While in a basic medium goes from 7 to 14. The lower the pH value of the most acid the solution is.

1. The expression pH = -log(molar concentration of hydronium) allow to calculate the pH of a solution.

2. On the other hand, the expression pOH = -log(molar concentration of hydroxide) allow to determine the pOH of a solution.

The values of pH and pOH always obey the following expression:

pH + pOH = 14

Thus if for instance the pH becomes smaller the pOH must become bigger in order to fulfill the equation. Which means that the concentration of hydronium ions is greater than the hydroxide concentration.

For example, in an acidic medium:

if pH= 3, pOH= 11

In this case the molar concentration of hydronium is 0,001M. And the molar concentration of hydroxide ions is just 0,00000000001M.

Lostsunrise [7]
Red blood cells are formed in the red bone marrow of bones. Stem cells in the red bone marrow called hemocytoblasts give rise to all of the formed elements in blood. If a hemocytoblast commits to becoming a cell called a proerythroblast, it will develop into a new red blood cell.
