The answer for this question would be B. Both elements, one being a Group 1 and the other being a Group 17, want to attain the octet of electrons in the outermost shell for chemical stability. The Group 1 element has one too many electrons, and the 17 is lacking one. To increase the stability of the system, the Group 1 can donate the extra electron to the Group 17 so that both can emulate a stable octet. In doing so, two ions are produced (elements that have a net charge that isn’t 0), and thus we have an “ionic bond.”

Hope this helps!

Which of the following is a salt that will form from the combination of a strong base with a weak acid?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

A. NaHCO₃

Explanation:

NaHCO₃ ⇒ NaOH + H₂CO₃

NaOH is a strong base and H₂CO₃ is a weak acid. Therefore, NaHCO₃ is a salt of a strong base-weak acid reaction. The salt is basic because carbonic acid (H₂CO₃) is a weak acid so it remains undissociated. So, there is a presence of additional OH⁻ ions that makes the solution basic.

Hope that helps.
