How are ions formed?

Chemistry
1 answer:
stepan [7]4 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!

The diagram below shows the atoms involved in forming table salt. Which statement best describes what happens next ?
Ghella [55]

An ionic compound is composed of ionic bonds that are formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. The atom that loses electrons acquires a positive charge (cation) while that which gains electrons acquires a negative charge.

In the case of sodium chloride; Sodium Na has 1 electron in its outer orbital while Chlorine Cl has 7 electrons. Thus, Cl requires 1 electron to complete its octet. This electron is donated by Na.

Thus, NaCl is essentially, Na⁺Cl⁻

Ans D) Chlorine becomes an anion by gaining an electron from sodium

**PLATO QUESTION, PLEASE ANSWER CORRECTLY, THANKS SO MUCH**
OLga [1]
None of the questions asked can be answered completely from the graph provided (GHG emissions: Direct, indirect and total Vs Year)

Reason:
1) Question A:<span>What caused a drop in GHG emissions around 2009?. This questions in pointing towards reason for drop of GHG emission around 2009. From the graph, it can be seen that there is a drop in GHG emission around 2009. However, information for reason for this drop is not available in graph.
2) Question B: </span>Did GHG emissions cause the melting of Arctic glaciers?. As mentioned earlier, the graph plotted provides information of GHG emissions: Vs Year. Information related to impact of GHG on environment is not available in graph. 
3) Question C: <span>How much methane was emitted by homes between 1990 and 2000?. Graph provides information of direct and indirect emission for GHG. However, it lacks information about emission from residential or industrial sources. 
4) </span>Question D: <span>Does industrial equipment release gases other than greenhouse gases?: Present study doesnot cover type of gases emitted from industrial equipment.
5) </span>Question E: <span>Which types of industries were included in the study?: Present graph has not specific information related to industries. </span>

A student determines that she used 0.0665 mol of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to completely titrate 25.00 mL of sulfuric acid solutio
AysviL [449]

To determine the concentration of one solution which is specifically basic or acidic solution through taking advantage on its points of equivalence, titration analysis is done.

Let us determine the reaction for the titration below:

2NaOH +2H2SO4 = Na2SO4 +2H2O

 

So,

0.0665 mol NaOH (2 mol H2SO4/ 2mol NaOH) / .025 L solution 

= 2.62 M H2SO4


The answer is the fourth option: 

<span>2.62 M</span>
