Extreme weather e.g. snow and cold weather. Another main contributing factor is that many places have a long dry season.
<u>Ionic Bond</u> is formed when the electronegativity difference is 0.4 > 2.0. Electronegativity is a term that can be defined as a tendency of an atom to attract electron towards its own self.
Explanation:
Electronegativity is a term that can be defined as a tendency of an atom to attract electron towards its own self.
An electronegativity of an atom is affected by
- The atomic number of the atom
- Secondly by the distance at which the valence electron are residing from the nucleus
1. In case the electronegativity difference (which is denoted by ΔEN) is less than 0.5 then the bond formed is known as N<u>onpolar covalent.
</u>
2. In case the ΔEN is in between 0.5 and 1.6, the bond formed is referred to as the<u> Polar covalent
</u>
3. In case the ΔEN is more /greater than 2.0, then the bond formed is referred to as<u> Ionic Bond</u>
<u>2 Examples of Ionic bonds</u>
- The formation of sodium fluoride, NaF, from a sodium atom and a fluorine atom is an example of Ionic bond formation.
- Another example is the formation of NaCl from sodium (Na),which is a metal, and chloride (Cl), which is a nonmetal
The correct answer would be 3.49 times 10^ minus 24 molecules
Answer:
Protons and neutrons
Explanation:
The particles to forms the nucleus of an atom are the protons and neutrons of the atoms.
These materials are located in the tiny nucleus and contributes the most mass of the atom.
- Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom
- Neutrons do not carry any charges.
- Sum of the protons and neutrons gives the mass number of the atom.
