Answer:

B) an anion

Explanation:

During bonding atoms may share electron or give out electron . In the case of electrovalent or ionic bonding, electron(s) is/are transferred from one atom to another . The atom that donate the electron are known as donor atom and the atom that receives the electron are known as receivers.

The atom that donate the electron becomes a cation(positively charged) as it lose it electron(s) while the receiver gains electron to become an anion which is a negatively charge ion.  

An example of such interaction is between a sodium atom and a chlorine atom.  The Na atom lose it electron to become positively charged(cation) while the chlorine atom gains electron to become negatively charged(anion). Both atom bond together losing and gaining electron to fulfill the octet rule.

Na+  +  Cl-   → NaCl

Which answer correctly ranks the atoms in terms of decreasing electronegativity (the highest electronegativity first)? which ans
Degger [83]

Answer:

O, N, C, H

Explanation:

Electronegativity of an element is the property that combines the ability of its atom to lose or gain electrons. It measures the relative tendency with which the atoms of the element attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.

On the periodic table, Electronegativity increases across the period but decreases down a group.

To solve the given problem, let us use thE Pauling's table of electronegativities to compare the electronegativities of the elements.

On the table:

C = 2.5

H = 2.1

O = 3.5

N = 3.0

In terms of decreasing electronegativities, the atoms are arranged as:

O N C H

After he finished his work, Mendeleev predicted _____.
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

the properties of three undiscovered elements  is the correct answer.

Explanation:

After he completed his work Mendeleev predicted the properties of the undiscovered elements.

In the year 1871, Dmitri Mendeleev predicted the detailed existence and the properties of the three elements that are undiscovered and he gained tremendous fame.

He left the gap in the table to put the elements which are not identified at that time and by glancing at the physical and chemical properties of an element next to the gap, Mendeleev could predict the properties of the not discovered elements.

Rank these compounds by their expected boiling point? CH4 CH3Cl CH3OH? Lowest to highest; 10+ for the best explanation. Thank yo
docker41 [41]
Methane, CH4, would have the lowest boiling point among the three since it has the lowest number of carbon and has no functional groups. Methanol would have the highest boiling point since it has a functional group which contains hydrogen bonding which much stronger than the one in CH3Cl. Hope this helps.<span />
