Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A bond formed by donating electrons from one atom to another then the bond formed is known as ionic bond.

For example, sodium has one extra electron as its electronic configuration os 2, 8, 1 and chlorine has shortage of one electrons as chlorine's electronic configuration is 2, 8, 7.

So, sodium will donate one electron to chlorine atom and sodium itself will become positively charged ions. Therefore, it will result in the formation of NaCl by forming an ionic bond.

Thus, we can conclude that a metal atom loses electrons and becomes a positive ion describes a step in the process of forming an ionic bond.

Explain how our body systems work together to get oxygen into and around our body.

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer: (1) Inhales (breathes in) Oxygen - good for the body - gives it to the Circulatory System to be transported throughout the body through the blood. (1) Digestive System gets nutrients (good) from food and hands it over to the blood and Circulatory System then carries those nutrients where they need to go.

Which hybrid orbitals overlap to form the sigma bonds between the indicated atoms in xanthine?

arsen [322]

The highlighted atoms have sp2 - sp3 hybridization. The highlighted atoms are carbon and nitrogen as shown.

The structure of Xanthine is shown in the image attached to this answer. The indicated atoms are Carbon and nitrogen as shown. Let us remember that hybridization has to do with the mixing of atomic orbitals to form appropriate hybrid orbitals that are suitable for overlap with orbitals of other atoms.

The highlighted carbon atom is sp2 hybridized because it has a carbon nitrogen double bond while the highlighted nitrogen atom is sp3 hybridized. Therefore, the highlighted atoms have sp2 - sp3 hybridization.

The combustion of gasoline produces carbon dioxide and water. assume gasoline to be pure octane (c8h18) and calculate how many k

IgorC [24]

<span>Answer: 2 C8H18 + 25 O2 => 16 CO2 + 18 H2O 1.0 kg = 1000 g C8H18 = 1000 g / 114.2293 g/mole = 8.75 moles C8H18 8.75 moles C8H18 produce (16/2) (8.75) = 70 moles CO2 70 moles CO2 = (70 moles) (44.0096 g/mole) = 3081 g CO2 = 3.1 kg CO2</span>
