<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.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

1.The electrode on the right is positive

2. 0.058V

Explanation:

The above cell is a concentration cell.

A concentration cell is an electrolytic cell that is made of two half-cells with the same electrodes, but differs in concentrations of the solutions. A concentration cell functions by diluting the more concentrated solution and concentrating the more dilute solution, creating a voltage as the cell reaches an equilibrium thereby transferring the electrons from the cell with the lower concentration to the cell with the higher concentration.

In the above cell, electrons flow from the left electrode (less concentrated) to the right electrode (more concentrated). Therefore, the right electrode is the positive electrode (cathode).

When there is more than two stars, it is called a star system or multiple star system or stellar system.
Depending on the number of stars, they are also called a triple, quadruple or quintuple star system or trinary, ternary, quaternary, quintenary, sextuple, sextenary, septuple or septenary star system.

According to the kinetic molecular theory, which statement describes an ideal gas?
djverab [1.8K]
The correct answer is option 3. There are no attractive forces between the gas particles in an ideal gas. For an ideal gas to be achieved, the molecules are far from each other as possible where no attraction or collisions happen with each molecule.
