sodium ions and chloride ions
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
<em>Since the experiment is set out to determine the melting point of the white solid, after missing the melting point due to distraction, there are two possible solutions and both involves a repeat of the experiment.</em>
1. The first one is to allow the molten substance to solidify again and then repeat the experiment. This time around, a critical attention should be paid to be able to notice the melting point temperature once the temperature gets to 132 C.
2. The second solution would be discard the molten substance and repeat the experiment with the a new solid one. Similarly, critical attention should be paid once the temperature gets to 132 C since it is sure that the melting point lies within 132 and 138 C.
Explanation:
Two events involving electrons are gain and loss of electrons.
When there is gain or loss of electrons between two atoms then it results in the formation of ionic bond.
Whereas when there is sharing of electrons between two atoms then it results in the formation of covalent bond.
Therefore, the chemical bonds formed can be ionic or covalent bonds.
A major concept to remember: “Nature seeks the lowest energy state”. In the lowest energy state, things are most stable...less likely to change. The following information that talks about stability is all based on the nucleus tending towards the lowest energy state. Stable atoms have low energy states.
