An ionic compound is composed of ionic bonds that are formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. The atom that loses electrons acquires a positive charge (cation) while that which gains electrons acquires a negative charge.
In the case of sodium chloride; Sodium Na has 1 electron in its outer orbital while Chlorine Cl has 7 electrons. Thus, Cl requires 1 electron to complete its octet. This electron is donated by Na.
Thus, NaCl is essentially, Na⁺Cl⁻
Ans D) Chlorine becomes an anion by gaining an electron from sodium
To solve this we assume
that the gas is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is
expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant temperature and number of moles of the gas
the product of PV is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of
temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:
P1V1 =P2V2
P2 = P1V1/V2
P2 = 740mmhg x 19 mL / 30 mL
<span>P2 = 468.67 mmHg = 0.62 atm</span>
When water reaches its boiling point and turns into water vapor, the molecular structure of water remains the same. It is only the state of the substance that is changed in this process. I hope this helps you
