How are the number of protons and electrons related to the charge of an ion?​

Chemistry

Protons have a positive charge, electrons are negative; say theres 5 protons and 5 electrons, those cancel each other out therefore it would be neutral or just no charge. If there is more protons then electrons then it would be a positive ion, if there is more electrons then protons then it would be a negative ion

Is 2Na+Cl2=2NaCl a balanced chemical equation
lilavasa [31]

Hey there!

2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl

This is a balanced chemical equation.

There are 2 atoms of sodium (Na) on the left, and 2 atoms of sodium (Na) on the right.

There are 2 atoms of chlorine (Cl) on the left, and 2 atoms of chlorine (Cl) on the right.

This means the equation is balanced since there are the same amount of each element on both sides.

Hope this helps!

N the ionic compound aluminum selenide, each atom of aluminum (gains or loses)
Volgvan

Answer:

loses, gains

Explanation:

In the ionic compound aluminum selenide, each atom of aluminum will lose electrons while each atom of selenium will gain the electrons.

An ionic compound is an interatomic bond formed between a metal and non-metal. The metal is less electronegative compared to the non-metal. In this case, the metal will lose electrons to become positively charged whereas the non-metal, selenium will gain the electron to become negatively charged.

The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions leads to the formation of the ionic bond.

Which element among these has the most negative electron affinity (i.e., has most exothermic electron affinity). A. H B. Li C. C
OleMash [197]

Answer:

D. F

Explanation:

Electron affinity is defined as the change in energy (in kJ/mole) of a neutral atom (in the gaseous phase) when an electron is added to the atom to form a negative ion. In other words, the neutral atom's likelihood of gaining an electron.

The electron affinity values of the following elements is given;

Electron Affinity of Hydrogen is 72.8 kJ/mol.

Electron Affinity of Lithium is 59.6 kJ/mol

electron affinity of carbon is 153.9 kJ mol‑1

Electron Affinity of Fluorine is 328 kJ/mol

The electron affinity of neon is 0 kJ mol‑1.

When nonmetals gain electrons, the energy change is usually negative because they give off energy to form an anion (exothermic process); thus, the electron affinity will be negative.

Nonmetals have a higher electron affinity than metals, meaning they are more likely to gain electrons than atoms with a lower electron affinity.

That explains why florine seems to have the highest electron affinity value.
