Answer:
Are transferred completely from the valence shell of an element to the other
Explanation:
Basically, to form a chemical bond, you either transfer or you share. When you share, it is a case of covalent bonding which can be in several other forms. When there is a transfer, it is a case of ionic bonding.
The basic explanation for this is that while some atoms are electronically sufficient, some are electronically deficient. This means while some atoms are having an excess number of electrons, then some are having less number of electrons.
To satisfy both parties, there must be a transfer if electrons between the two parties. While the one with the excess numbers serves as the donor, the one with insufficient number of electrons serve as the acceptor
Answer:
Volume = 3.86 ml (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Density of cadmium = 8.65 g/ml
Mass of pure object = 33.4 g
Find:
Volume pure cadmium
Computation:
Volume = Mass / Density
Volume = 33.4 / 8.65
Volume = 3.86 ml (Approx)
The rate constant : k = 9.2 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹
The half life : t1/2 = 75.3 s
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Reaction 45% complete in 65 s
Required
The rate constant and the half life
Solution
For first order ln[A]=−kt+ln[A]o
45% complete, 55% remains
A = 0.55
Ao = 1
Input the value :
ln A = -kt + ln Ao
ln 0.55 = -k.65 + ln 1
-0.598=-k.65
k = 9.2 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹
The half life :
t1/2 = (ln 2) / k
t1/2 = 0.693 : 9.2 x 10⁻³
t1/2 = 75.3 s
Answer:
B. Ionic Compound
Explanation:
An ionic compound is that compound which contains a positively charged ion called CATION and a negatively charged ion called ANION. The cation loses or transfers electrons to the anion, hence, making the former (cation) positive and the latter (anion) negative.
A polyatomic ion is an ion that contains more than one type of atom e.g OH-, NO3²-, CO3²- etc. A polyatomic ion usually has an overall charge formed from the charges of the individual atoms that makes it up. For example, in OH-, the overall charge is -1.
Since a polyatomic ion can have an overall positive or negative charge, it must enter a reaction with another ion that complements it i.e. a negative polyatomic ion will react with a positive ion to neutralize its charge. Hence, this forms an IONIC COMPOUND. This is why most compounds with polyatomic ions are IONIC COMPOUNDS.
For example, CaCO3 is an ionic compound formed when Ca²+ (cation) reacts with the polyatomic anion: CO3²-
