How are ions formed?

Chemistry
1 answer:
stepan [7]3 years ago
3 0

Hey there!

Your answer is c. by the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another.

Ions can be positive or negative. Positive ions are called cations, and negative ions are called anions.

Electrons are transferred because two atoms have a large difference of electronegativity and the electrons are shared so unequally that the electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another, forming ions.

Hope this helps!

1) When chromium chloride, CrCl2, is dissolved in water, the temperature of the water decreases. a) Is the heat of solution exot
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Explanation:  It has been given that the temperature of the water decreases when chromium chloride is dissolved in water. Thus fall in the temperature explains the fact that the bond energies of the reactants have more energy rather than the products.

a) Thus the heat of the solution is endothermic in nature as more energy is needed to break the reactant molecules.

b) The combined ionic bond strength of CrCl2 and inter molecular forces between water molecules must be stronger than the attractive forces between the  water molecules and chromium and chloride ions as the reaction is endothermic in nature thus more energy would be required to break the bonds between the reactants hence making them more stronger.

Describe your understanding of atoms and their subatomatic particles
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Atom is the building block of matter. The atom itself made up of subatomic particles electron, proton and neutron.

Explanation:

Long time ago, Greek philosopher thoughts that matter can be divided into smaller particles until a point is reached when the basic unit is obtained which can not be further sub divided. A Greek philosopher Democritus called these basic units "Atom".

Later on modern research showed that atom could be divided into smaller particles electron, proton and neutron. These smaller particles are called sub-atomic particles of atom.

Atoms are the fundamental unit of matter. Every thing in the universe that occupy space and have mass is called matter. we can say that every matter is composed of atoms. while the atom is composed of subatomic particles called electron proton and neutron.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol = e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10-31 Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

Proton and Neutron:

An atom consist of positively charged central core (nucleus) that is made up of Proton and neutron.  Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P+  

Symbol of neutron= n0  

Mass of proton=1.672623×10-27 Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10-27 Kg

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons.

What kind of intermolecular forces act between two ammonia molecules
iragen [17]

Answer:

extensive hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

The high boiling points of water, hydrogen fluoride (HF) and ammonia (NH3) is an effect of the extensive hydrogen bonding between the molecules. The London dispersion force is caused by random and temporary changes in the polarity of atoms, caused by the location of the electrons in the atoms' orbitals.

Hope this helps :)
