<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The chemical name and chemical formula formed is sodium nitride and Na_3N

<u>For b:</u> The chemical name and chemical formula formed is strontium oxide and SrO

<u>For c:</u> The chemical name and chemical formula formed is aluminium chloride and AlCl_3

<u>Explanation:</u>

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

  • <u>For a:</u> Sodium and nitrogen:

Sodium is the 11th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ne]3s^1

To form Na^{+} ion, this element will loose 1 electron.

Nitrogen is the 7th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [He]2s^22p^3.

To form N^{3-} ion, this element will gain 3 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for sodium nitride is Na_3N

  • <u>For b:</u> Oxygen and strontium

Strontium is the 38th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [Kr]5s^2.

To form Sr^{2+} ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [He]2s^22p^4.

To form O^{2-} ion, this element will gain 2 electrons.  

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for strontium oxide is SrO

  • <u>For c:</u> Aluminium and chlorine

Aluminium is the 13th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ne]3s^23p^1

To form Al^{3+} ion, this element will loose 3 electrons.

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ne]3s^23p^5

To form Cl^{-} ion, this element will gain 1 electron.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for aluminium chloride is AlCl_3

What occurs in order to break the bond in a Cl2 molecule?
alukav5142 [94]
The bond between the 2 Cl atoms in a Cl₂ molecule is a covalent bond. 
to break this covalent bond, energy is required. 
when new bonds form, energy is released as the bond formation makes the molecule stable. molecules with low energy levels are usually stable. 
To break the covalent bond, energy is required in other words energy is absorbed. 
therefore to break the covalent bond in Cl₂ molecule 
1)energy is absorbed
