Answer: Atoms (ions) are held together in an ionic bond through Electrostatic attraction

Explanation: Ions are atoms that lose or gain one or more electrons to become either positively or negatively charged, which are called anions and cations respectively. The cations are usually metals while anions are usually non-metals.

The bond (ionic bond) is formed when there is a transfer of valence electron(s) between the anion and the cation in order to obtain a full valence shell for both atoms.

Example of an ionic compound is NaCl.

Where: Na is the cation that looses a valence electron to become stable to Chlorine which is the anion that gained an electron to become stable.

What is the main process that happens in the mantle?
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Mantle convection is the very slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior to the planet's surface. The Earth's surface lithosphere rides atop the asthenosphere and the two form the components of the upper mantle.

Which of the solutions below is a weak electrolyte? nacl(aq) koh(aq) hcl(aq) h2so3(aq) all of these?
Deffense [45]

Answer:-

H2SO3 (aq)

Explanation:-

NaCl, KOH and HCl ionic compounds.

Ionic compounds dissociate into ions in water.

Ions can carry electricity in water. So NaCl, KOH and HCl are all strong electrolytes.

H2SO3 is not a strong acid and dissociates to a small extent into ions in water.

Hence number of ions formed is less. Hence it is a weak electrolyte.
