What is likely to occur if sulfur forms an ionic bond with another element is <u>sulfur will accept electrons</u>
<u><em> explanation</em></u>
- Ionic bond is formed when a metal react with a non metal.
- Metal loses ( donate) electrons to form cation ( a positively charged ion) , while non metal accept (gain) electrons to form anion ( a negatively charged ion ).
- Sulfur is a non metal therefore it accept electrons if it form an ionic bond with a metal. sulfur accept 2 electrons to form S2- ion
Answer: 
Explanation:
For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
Here iron is having an oxidation state of +3 called as
cation and oxide
is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral
.
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Answer:
c. 77 %
Explanation:
Percent mass (% mass) of solute = mass of solute/mass of solution × 100
According to this question, a mountain dew solution weighing 300grams contains 231 g of sugar. This means that:
% mass of sugar = 231g/300g × 100
% mass of sugar = 0.77 × 100
% mass of sugar = 77%.
Answer: 8 electrons
Explanation: Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom and they are important in chemical reactions.
Atoms are <em>happy</em> when they follow the octet rule which states that 2 electrons can go in the first shell and 8 electrons can go in the other shells.
Electrons are happy when they have a full outer shell which usually needs to be 8 electrons. However, some of the smaller elements like helium are happy because they can hold a max of 2 electrons and helium has 2 electrons since it has 2 protons in its core as well as 2 electrons in its energy levels.
