The correct answer is  a metal atom forms a cation, and a nonmetal atom forms an anion.  This is because metals are less electronegative than nonmetals and will therefore give electrons to nonmetals.  Atoms that give up electrons will have a positive charge therefore becoming a cation while atoms that accept electrons will have a negative charge therefore becoming an anion.


Ions that have the same charge can't be attracted to each other since it takes a positive and negative charge to cause attractive forces. 

A less electronegative atom will transfer electrons to a more electronegative atom.

A metal (cation) can pull electrons from another metal (not an ion) but that does not form an attractive force between the two metals (You will learn more about this when you go over reduction potentials, redox reactions, and electrochemistry).

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

A student wants to make a 0.150 M aqueous solution of silver (I) nitrate but only has 11.27 g of AgNO3. What volume of the 0.150
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

442.3 mL

Explanation:

Remember that Molarity is a measure of concentration in Chemistry and it's defined as the number of moles of the substance divided by liters of the solution:

M=\frac{Moles of substance X}{Volume of the solution}

Then, you can express 11.27 g of AgNO3 as moles of AgNO3 using the molar mass of the compound:

11.27 g AgNO_{3} *\frac{1 mole AgNO_{3}}{169.87 g AgNO_{3}} = 0.06634 moles AgNO_{3}

Then you can solve for the volume of the solution:

Volume of the solution=\frac{Moles of AgNO_{3}}{M} =\frac{0.06634 mol AgNO_{3}}{0.150 M} =0.4423 L = 442.3 mL

Hope it helps!

PLEAZE HELP!!!
Alla [95]

Answer:

V= 12mL

Explanation:

you had the right idea with your Significant figures however, when we divide we see that it requires 2 significant figures as our least amount. this is because when looking at our division, 62 has 2 sig. fig. while 5.35 has a total 3. when looking at your answer we see that you had a total of 3 sig. figures. so in actuakity you had to round up to 12 and not to the tenths because the decimal makes .6 count as your third sig fig.

Suppose a friend says that we don't need to worry about the rising temperatures associated with global climate change. Her claim
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Carbonic acid could be formed.

Explanation:

Hello,

Based on her claim, it would be a really useful strategy to prevent global warming, nevertheless, there would be a problem if a increasing amount of carbon dioxide is not buried at the bottom of the ocean yet it flows freely along the sea and probably reacting with the water, causing carbonic acid to be formed  and subsequently cutting back the sea's pH (increasing its acidity).

It would be useful, but a constant monitoring of the sea's pH must be needed because this could cause some species to be affected not only by the temperature but for the acid pH as well.

Best regards.
