Nacl is an ionic solid. the na+ and cl− ions in nacl are bonded through an electrostatic force of attraction commonly known as t

he ionic bond. water is a polar solvent. the oxygen atom, being more electronegative, attracts the electron cloud toward itself. as the electron cloud is pulled by the oxygen atom, it carries a partial negative charge, and the hydrogen atoms carry a partial positive charge. this partial separation of charges in the water molecule makes it polar. which intermolecular forces contribute to the dissolution of nacl in water?

NaCl is the poster-compound for ionic bonding. The bonds in NaCl have approximately 70% ionic character, making the bonds highly polar. It's an exaggeration to say that there are real ions in NaCl with +1 and -1 charges, but the real charges of Na and Cl are certainly close to the expected +1 and -1, correspondingly. Since NaCl is as a network of extremely charged particles, and not separate molecules, NaCl does not display intermolecular forces. 

Water molecules conversely do display London dispersion forces, Keesom forces and hydrogen bonding. 

The polar water molecules are involved to the polarized Na and Cl atoms. This is what permits NaCl(s) to dissolve and ionize in water. Consequently, the kind of attraction accountable for the ionization of NaCl is ion-dipole attraction.

The ion - dipole attractions between the Na+ and the polar water molecule and the ion - dipole attractions between the Cl- and the polar water molecule contribute to the dissolution of sodium chloride in water.

Further Explanation:

Sodium chloride is an ionic compound. The electrostatic attraction between its positive charged ions (Na+) and negatively charged ions (Cl-) holds the crystal lattice together.

Water is a polar molecule. Polar molecules have a net dipole moment due to the differences in electronegativity of the atoms in the molecule and the geometry of the molecule as well. Since oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, it pulls the shared electrons towards itself. The part of the molecule where oxygen is, gains a partial negative charge, since the shared electrons spend more time in this region than near hydrogen. The hydrogen side of the molecule, then becomes mostly electron-deficient giving it a partial positive charge.

In the dissolution of sodium chloride in water, the ion - ion attractions of the salt is weakened as it absorbs heat. Then, polar water molecules start to surround individual Na+ or Cl- ions by orienting themselves accordingly: the partial negative side of water are attracted to the Na+ and the H side of the water molecule is attracted to the Cl- ions. With enough water molecules surrounding the each ion, the ion - dipole attractions formed overcome the ion - ion attraction of the salt.

when metals react they ________________ (gain/lose) electrons. as you go down any group containing metals, it becomes easier to
balandron [24]

Answer:

When metals react they lose electrons.

Explanation:

An ion is defined as a molecule or atom made up of a different number of electrons and protons. This makes the electric charge of the molecule net, not neutral.

In other words, an ion is a molecule or atom that has a positive or negative electric charge, making it an atom whose electric charge is not neutral.

The characteristic property of a metallic atom is to lose one or more of its electrons to form a positive ion. That is, metals lose electrons and acquire a net positive charge, which is why they are electropositive.

Which phrase best defines radiant energy? (a)mechanical waves that require a medium to travel through
slava [35]

Answer:

I think is b

Explanation:

if im wrong, heres some information:

mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium.[1] While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission—the material—is limited. Therefore, the oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position. Mechanical waves transport energy. This energy propagates in the same direction as the wave. Any kind of wave (mechanical or electromagnetic) has a certain energy. Mechanical waves can be produced only in media which possess elasticity and inertia.

In the reaction, A → Products, the rate constant is 3.6 × 10−4 s−1. If the initial concentration of A is 0.548 M, what will be t
Arada [10]

Answer:

        \large\boxed{\large\boxed{0.529M}}

Explanation:

Since the <em>rate constant</em> has units of <em>s⁻¹</em>, you can tell that the order of the reaction is 1.

Hence, the rate law is:

       r=d[A]/dt=-k[A]

Solving that differential equation yields to the well known equation for the rates of a first order chemical reaction:

      [A]=[A]_0e^{-kt}

You know [A]₀, k, and t, thus you can calculate [A].

       [A]=0.548M\times e^{-3.6\cdot 10^{-4}/s\times99.2s}

       [A]=0.529M

In the redox fueling reaction, succinate + nad ↔ fumarate + nadph, the succinate molecule is undergoing which process?
GarryVolchara [31]

The answer is oxidation.

That is in the redox fueling reaction,  

succinate + NAD ↔fumarate + NADPH, the succinate molecule is undergoing oxidation.

As succinate molecule is providing electrons to NAD, so that it can be reduced from NAD to NADPH. So it is losing electrons and undergoing oxidation.

So the answer is oxidation.
