An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal. A covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between atoms.
Answer:
moon
Explanation:
the moon's gravitational pull generates tidal force which affects earth's tides
Upon addition to water, chlorine forms hypochlorous acid which can neutralize basic solutions.
please mark me as brainliest.
Answer:
I, III, and V
Explanation:
All five options are correct.
However, your instructor is probably expecting the answer I, III, and V.
These three elements are on the left-hand side of the Periodic Table. Thus, they tend to lose electrons and form positive ions most easily.
H is the most reluctant to form a cation. Its first ionization energy is 1100 kJ·mol⁻¹.
However, F and He can lose electrons to form cations.
It takes only 1700 kJ·mol⁻¹ to remove an electron from F. However, F tends to add electrons to get a complete valence shell.
Even He, with a complete valence shell, will give up a valence electron for the expenditure of only 2400 kJ·mol⁻¹.
