2.41 What is an ionic compound? How is electrical neutrality maintained in an ionic compound?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kiruha [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

An ionic compound is a compound in which electrovalent bonds joins the atoms together. Here, electrons move from a less electronegative atom to a more electronegative one. The formation of ionic bonds involves the transfer of elecrons.

The transfer of electrons makes the atoms charged i.e ionized. These oppositely charge ions establishes an electrostatic force of attraction to form the ionic compounds.

How is electrical neutrality maintained in an ionic compound?

Electrical neutrality is maintained in an ionic compound because the compound is made up of ions in which the net charge is zero. There is a transfer of electrons which is completely recieved by the more electronegative atom.

How does the total volume of gas particles compare to the volume of the space between gas particles?
saw5 [17]
Answer:
             There is more space between gas particles than the size of the particles.

Explanation:
                   This scenario can be understand by taking a very simple example. As we know that 1 mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure occupy 22.4 liters of volume. Lets take Hydrogen gas and Oxygen gas, 1 mole of each gas will occupy same volume. Why it is so? Why same volume although Oxygen is 16 times more heavier? This is because the space between gas molecules is very large. Approximately the distance between gas molecules is 300 times greater than their own diameter from its neighbor molecules.

Why is it important to note the temperature when determining the density of a substance?
Andru [333]
It is important to take note of th temperature in determining the density of a substance because this will set as a basis and will likely be a variable in the experiment because this will also contribute on the effects of the experiment and a basis of how the experiment has turned to be that way.
