Answer:

Ionic bonding can result from a redox reaction when atoms of an element (usually metal), whose ionization energy is low, give some of their electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. In doing so, cations are formed. An atom of another element (usually nonmetal) with greater electron affinity accepts the electron(s) to attain a stable electron configuration, and after accepting electron(s) an atom becomes an anion.

Answer:

In an ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, In which the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

use the Kinetic Theory to explain the following. when you come home from school and open the door you can smell your tea being c

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Tea is getting hot on the stove.

2) As the tea and water gets hot, some combined molecules of tea and water will escape from the teapot.

3) Those escaped molecules now have the entire free space of the entire room to float around in, which they do (because they have high kinetic energy due to being heated).

4) Hence, in this scenario, your nose will detect a few of those molecules and you smell hot or warm tea.

5) Cold tea would be a different story. Cold beverages like cold tea do not have the kinetic energy where molecules can 'break free' of the surrounding container. Someone could be sitting in the room having a can or bottle of cold tea and you would not notice that when you walked in the door.

why do you think you can find silver and gold on their own in rocks but calcium and magnesium are combined with other elements t

Explanation:

Silver and Gold belong to a special group of metals known as the native metals. They are found naturally on their own and not in combined form in rocks.
