Hector claims that a single sodium ion and a single oxygen ion do not bond together to form a stable binary ionic compound. Is h

e correct? Why or why not?
A Hector is incorrect. The two ions have opposite charges, so they will bond together in a binary ionic compound.
B Hector is incorrect. The two ions have more than eighteen protons, so they will bond together in a binary ionic compound.
C Hector is correct. The sum of the charges of the two ions must be zero in order for them to form a stable ionic compound.
D Hector is correct. The sum of the protons of the two ions must be divisible by eight in order for them to form a stable ionic compound.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Looking at the periodic table, we can see that sodium is in group 1, so a sodium ion would be Na⁺, with a charge of +1. Oxygen is in group 16, so an oxygen ion would be O²⁻, with a charge of -2.

A compound formed only by a single sodium ion and a single oxygen ion would thus have a charge of -1, and in order to have a stable ionic compound its charge must be zero.

Answer: A Hector is incorrect. The two ions have opposite charges, so they will bond together in a binary ionic compound.

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Electronic configuration of sodium:

[Na]=1s^22s^22p^63s^1

Sodium atom will loose two electrons to gain noble gas configuration and form sodium cation with +1 charge.

[tex][Na^{+}]=1s^22s^22p^63s^0[/tex]

Electronic configuration of oxygen:

[O]=1s^22s^22p^4

Oxygen atom will gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form oxide ion with -2 charge.

[O^{2-}]=1s^22s^22p^6

Here sodium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as Na^+ cation and oxide O^{2-} is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral Na_2O.

The cations and anions being oppositely charged attract each other through strong coloumbic forces and form an ionic bond.

Need help asp will give brainliest
Levart [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

1: the sciencetific name of a giant squid is called Architeuthis

2: i dont know I think it says diet but: Giant squid mostly eat deep water fishes and other squids.
3: the range of a Giant squid can be found in oceans around the world at depths of at least 2,950 feet, but their exact  range is unknown.

4, characteristics,

1: it has two large fins attached to its mantle.

2: the giant squid have many unique features, such as their ability to produce 'ink' to distract and deter predators.  

3:


facts,

1: Their eyes are the largest eyes in the animal kingdom and are about 10 inches

2: Their big eyes help them to spy objects in dark depths where most other animals would see nothing

3: Until 2005, nobody had ever seen a giant squid that was alive.

4: According to the stories, an huge squid would wrap its arms around a whale, causing a terrible fight to start. 
5: Giant squid have small fins at the rear of their mantles used for locomotion. 


Human IMPACT

Not only can squids and octopuses sense sound, but as it turns out, these and other so-called cephalopods might be harmed by growing noise pollution in our oceans—from sources such as offshore drilling, ship motors, sonar use and pile driving.

True or false: polyvalent cations are usually transition metals​
Rasek [7]

Answer:True

Explanation:

Most of the transition metals—those metals in the center d-block of the periodic table—are polyvalent. Since they can form cations with different charges, those charges must be specified when naming the ions and when naming compounds containing those ions.

A+common+iv+solution+is+0.9%+saline+(nacl+solution).+what+is+the+osmolarity+of+0.9%+saline+mosmoles/l?+the+molecular+weight+of+n
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

An osmolarity of saline solution is 308 mosmol/L.

m(NaCl) = 9 g; the mass of sodium chloride

V(solution) = 1 L; the volume of the saline solution

n(NaCl) = 9 g ÷ 58.44 g/mol

n(NaCl) = 0.155 mol; the amount of sodium chloride

number of ions = 2

Osmotic concentration (osmolarity) is a measure of how many osmoles of particles of solute it contains per liter.

The osmolarity = n(NaCl) ÷ V(solution)  × 2

The osmolarity = 0.154 mol ÷ 1 L × 2

The osmolarity = 0.154 mol/L × 1000 mmol/m × 2

The osmolarity of the saline solution = 308 mosm/L.
