How are ionic substances formed?

Chemistry

Answer:

An ionic compound is formed by the complete transfer of electrons from a metal to a nonmetal and the resulting ions have achieved an octet. The protons do not change.

Explanation:

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

Ionic bonds are made when one of the two atoms that are reacting has excess electrons and transfer the electrons to the atom that is deficient in electrons.

A compound composed of only carbon and chlorine is 85.5% chlorine by mass. propose a lewis structure for the lightest of the pos
aivan3 [116]

Answer is in picture below.

Use 100 grams of the compound:

ω(Cl) = 85.5% ÷ 100%.

ω(Cl) = 0.855; mass percentage of the chlorine in the compound.

m(Cl) = 0.855 · 100 g.

m(Cl) = 85.5 g; mass of chlorine.

m(C) = 100 g - 85.5 g.

m(C) = 14.5 g; mass of carbon.

n(Cl) = m(Cl) ÷ M(Cl).

n(Cl) = 85.5 g ÷ 35.45 g/mol.

n(Cl) = 2.41 mol; amount of chlorine.

n(C) = 14.5 g ÷ 12 g/mol.

n(C) = 1.21 mol; amount of carbon.

n(Cl) : n(C) = 2.41 mol : 1.21 mol = 2 : 1.

This compound is dichlorocarbene CCl₂.

What is emitted when an electron returns to its lower energy level?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

When the electron changes levels, it decreases energy and the atom emits photons. The photon is emitted with the electron moving from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. The energy of the photon is the exact energy that is lost by the electron moving to its lower energy level.
