Which of the following ionic compounds would have the most negative lattice energy: NaCl, KCl, or MgCl2? Explain your answer.​

Chemistry

Basile [38]3 years ago

Answer:

MgCl2

Explanation:

Lattice energy will be higher on ion with higher charge, or smaller size. A higher charge means it will have a stronger force. Smaller size ion will have less distance.  

Magnesium has +2 charge and located in the third row, make it strongest of these three. Natrium will be the second strongest even though its charge is +1, the same as Kalium. Natrium has smaller size as it is on the third row, compared to Kalium that was in the fourth row.

Describe two situations that reduce the dissolved oxygen content of water?
Olin [163]
Hi sweetie, hope this helps!

The more salt that is dissolved in the water, the less oxygen will be dissolved in it.

The higher the temperature of the water, the less oxygen will be dissolved it in.


Goodluck!,

What was the action between the 2 atoms in an ionically bonded compound that caused that ionic bond to form in the first place?
Andreas93 [3]
Ionic bonds form between two elements that have a very large difference in electronegativity ie. a metal and a non-metal. The electronegative element will want an electron to make it stable whilst the less electronegative element wants to donate an electron to make it stable. Therefore the metallic element donates a electron to the non-metal and both become ions, which attract each other. Eg. Na becomes Na+ and Cl becomes Cl-, the opposite charges attract, forming the bond.
