Na is a cation, meaning it needs to lose electrons to gain a full outer shell. Since it is an alkaline metal, it has a charge of +1. (Cations are positive and need to lose electrons.).

Cl is an anion, meaning it needs to gain electrons to gain a full outer shell. Since is is a halogen, it has a charge of -1. (Anions are negative and need to gain electrons).

RIGHT NOW PLEASE <br><br> Polar vs nonpolar molecules definitions.
Sedbober [7]

Answer: Polar molecules occur when there is an electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms. Nonpolar molecules occur when electrons are shared equal between atoms of a diatomic molecule or when polar bonds in a larger molecule cancel each other out.

Which electron configuration represents a selenium atom in an excited state?(1) 2-7-18-6(2) 2-7-18-7(3) 2-8-18-6(4) 2-8-18-7
rosijanka [135]
(2) 2 - 7 - 18 - 7 does, because the electron from the L shell jumped to the N shell, which requires energy.

The rest of them are either different types of atoms (different elements) or are not the excited state (ground state)

Consider the following reaction mechanism: Step 1: (CH3)3AuPH3 ↔ (CH3)3Au + PH3 (fast) Step 2: (CH3)3Au → C2H6 + (CH3)Au (slow)
netineya [11]

Answer: The balanced equation for overall reaction is:

(CH3)3AuPH3 ----> C2H6 + (CH3)AuPH3

Explanation:

The reaction mechanism is given as follows:

Step 1: (CH3)3AuPH3 ↔ (CH3)3Au + PH3 (fast)

Step 2: (CH3)3Au → C2H6 + (CH3)Au (slow)

Step 3: (CH3)Au + PH3 → (CH3)AuPH3 (fast)

To balance this equation, firstly, we conduct proper atom count for each steps of the reaction mechanism.

It is important to note that for a reaction that involves several steps, the rate law is normally derived from the slow step ( which is step2 from the above mechanism).

Therefore, the balanced chemical equation for the overall reaction is:

(CH3)3AuPH3 ----> C2H6 + (CH3)AuPH3

nevsk [136]
To determine if the compound is an ionic compound, heat it up until the compound reaches its melting point and become molten. Use the molten form to set up an electric circuit and see if the compound will conduct electricity. If the compound conduct electricity then it is an ionic compound. If it does not conduct electricity, it is not an ionic compound. Ionic compounds usually conduct electricity in their molten forms.<span />

Matthias wants to dissolve a solid sample of calcium chloride (cacl2), which is an ionic compound. Which solvent will dissolve t
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: water, polar solvent.

Explanation:

Data

sample of CaCl2

Solid copper this option is incorrect because in order to dissolve something the solvent must be liquid and this is a solid solvent.

water, I think this option is right, because CaCl2 is ionic and water is a polar solvent, CaCl2 will dissolve in water.

a polar solvent, CaCl2 will dissolve is a polar solvent like water, this option is correct.

hexane, CaCl2 will not dissolve in hexane because hexane is a non polar solvent and CaCl2 is ionic. This option is wrong

a nonpolar solvent This option is not right, CaCl2 will only dissolve in polar solvents.

liquid mercury, This option is wrong, mercury is not a solvent.
