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.

A sample of nitrogen gas has a volume of 578 mL and a pressure of 124.1 kPa. What volume would the gas occupy at 80.2 kPa if the
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

V2 = 894.4mL

Explanation:

P1= 124.1, V1= 578mL, P2 = 80.2kPa, V2= ?

Applying Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

Substitute and simplify

124.1*578=80.2*V2

V2= 894.4mL

Working principles of lithium/solid electrolytes batteries​
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The electrolyte carries positively charged lithium ions from the anode to the cathode and vice versa through the separator. The movement of the lithium ions creates free electrons in the anode which creates a charge at the positive current collectors

What happens to a charged particle that enters a magnetic field?
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

A charged particle experiences a force when moving through a magnetic field. ... If the field is in a vacuum, the magnetic field is the dominant factor determining the motion. Since the magnetic force is perpendicular to the direction of travel, a charged particle follows a curved path in a magnetic field. i hope this helped you! have a great day
