Why can’t two metals/cations bond together like ionic or covalent bonds?

Chemistry

6 0

The two metals cannot donate electrons to each other or share electrons

Why?

Elements form bonds in order to achieve the electronic configuration of a noble gas. The way for metals to do this is to lose electrons and form a cation (positively charged ion).

Let's check out each type of bond mentioned in the answer to explain why two metals cannot form those types of bonds:

  • <u>Ionic:</u> In ionic bonding, one atom (cation) donates its electrons to another (anion). If we have two cations there is no atom to receive the electrons, and an ionic bond will not be formed.
  • <u>Covalent</u><u>:</u> In covalent bonding, two atoms share their electrons. This bond is found in non-metals, since the tendency for metals is to give its electrons rather than sharing them, so this type of bond will not form either.

Have a nice day!

A student carried out a titration using HC2H3O2(aq)HC2H3O2(aq) and NaOH(aq)NaOH(aq). The net ionic equation for the neutralizati
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The amount of HC₂H3₃2(aq) in the flask after the addition of 5.0mL of NaOH(aq) compared to the amount of HC₂H₃O₂(aq) in the flask after the addition of 1.0mL is much smaller because more HC₂H₃O₂(aq) is required to react with 5.0 mL NaOH than with 1.0 mL NaOH.

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction between acetic acid, HC₂H₃O₂(aq) and sodium hydroxide, NaOH(aq) is given below:

CH₃COOH (aq) + NaOH (aq) ----> CH₃COONa (aq) + H₂O

The equation of the reaction shows that acetic acid andsodium hydroxide will react in a 1:1 ratio

Since the concentration of NaOH was not given, we can assume that the concentration is 0.01 M

Moles of NaOH in 5.0 mL of 0.01 M NaOH = 0.01 × 5/1000 = 0.00005 moles

Moles of NaOH in 1.0 mL of 0.01 M NaOH = 0.01 ×1/1000 = 0.0001 moles

Ratio of moles of NaOH in 5.0 mL to 1.0 mL = 0.00005/0.00001 = 5

There are five times more moles of NaOH in 5.0 mL than in 1.0 mL and this means that 5 times more the quantity of HC₂H₃O2(aq) required to react with 1.0 mL NaoH is needed to react with 5.0 mL NaOH.

Therefore, the amount of HC₂H₃O2(aq) in the flask after the addition of 5.0mL of NaOH(aq) compared to the amount of HC₂H₃O₂(aq) in the flask after the addition of 1.0mL is much smaller because more HC₂H₃O₂(aq) is required to react with 5.0 mL NaOH than with 1.0 mL NaOH.
