Ionic bond is described as the chemical bond between two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bond the metal loses electron forming a positively charged cation and a non metal which accept the cation to form a negatively charged anion. In ionic bond the atoms are held together by electrostatic force of attraction. In ionic bond the anions and cations are present in the ratio where the total charge of the compound becomes zero. For example, Let us consider NaCl compound. An atom of the sodium has three electrons in its valency shell and the electrons are removed from the outer most shell by applying the energy of 5.14 electron volts. The chlorine atom lacks an electron to attain stable electronic configuration and it accepts the electron from the sodium by releasing 3.62 electron volts of energy which means that it takes only 1.52 electron volts of energy to donate an electron to chlorine when both the atoms are far apart. When these electrons are brought together their electric potential becomes more negative. This means that if the neutral sodium and chlorine atoms are found themselves closer it would be energetically favourable to transfer electrons from sodium to chlorine thus resulting in the formation of the ionic bond.

The ions in an ionic bond are held together by electrostatic attraction between the anions and cations in the compound.

For example, sodium chloride [NaCl] (more commonly known as salt) has positively charged sodium [Na+] ions, or cations, and negatively charged chlorine [Cl-] ions, or anions, holding the compound together.

What is the difference between an atom and an element? a An atom cannot be cut into smaller, but an element is a group of atoms
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

c.

Explanation:

One of the main differences between an atom and an element is that an atom can be combined but an element cannot be combined. There are many combinations of atoms that make up different gases, liquids, and solids each with a unique makup. For example, water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H20). Elements are made up of only the same type of atom. For example, the element Hydrogen can only contain hydrogen atoms, while the element Carbon can only contain carbon atoms.

Enter your answer in the provided box. On a certain winter day in Utah, the average atmospheric pressure is 718 torr. What is th
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.047 mol/L

Explanation:

The atmospheric air is a mixture of gases. We can assume an ideal behavior of the gas and use the ideal gas equation:

PV= nRT

where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is a constant (0.082 L.atm/K.mol) and T is the temperature in K.

We have to first convert the pressure from Torr to atm:

760 Torr= 1 atm

⇒ 718 Torr x 1 atm/760 Torr = 0.945 atm

Then, we convert the temperature from ºC to K:

0ºC = 273 K

⇒ -29ºC+273= 244 K

Finally, we introduce the data in the equation and calculate de densitiy, which is the moles per liters of gas (n/V):

PV = nRT

n/V= P/RT

n/V = (0.945 atm)/(0.082 L.atm/K.mol x 244 K) = 0.047 mol/L
