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.

<h3>Answer:  b) 0.250 mol</h3>

============================================

Work Shown:

Using the periodic table, we see that

  • 1 mole of carbon = 12 grams
  • 1 mole of oxygen = 16 grams

These are approximations and these values are often found underneath the atomic symbol. For example, the atomic weight listed under carbon is roughly 12.011 grams. I'm rounding to 2 sig figs in those numbers listed above.

So 1 mole of CO2 is approximately 12+2*16 = 44 grams. The 2 is there since we have 2 oxygens attached to the carbon atom.

-------------------

Since 1 mole of CO2 is 44 grams, we can use that to convert from grams to moles.

11.0 grams of CO2 = (11.0 grams)*(1 mol/44 g) = (11.0/44) mol = 0.250 mol of CO2

In short,

11.0 grams of CO2 = 0.250 mol of CO2

This is approximate.

We don't need to use any of the information in the table.
