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.

The periodic table is useful because it is organized to show many patterns and trends. What property shows a decrease moving fro
Alex73 [517]

Atomic radius

Explanation:

A decrease in moving from the bottom of Group 3 to the top of the group shows an increase in trend from top to bottom.

The atomic radius of elements increases from top to bottom and decreases from the bottom to the top.

The elements in group 3 are B, Al , Ga, In and Tl

  • Atomic radius is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance between two nuclei in the solid state of metals.
  • Downs a group from top to bottom, atomic radii increases progressively due to successive shells being added.
  • This compensates for the size reducing effect of the increased nuclear charge.

Question 9 (2 points)
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

0.39 moles

Explanation:

To find how many moles are in 50.0 g of CaC₂O₄ you divide the grams of the sample by the molar mass of the compound;

\frac{50.0 g}{128.097 g/mol}=0.39 mol

The grams cancel out and you are left with moles!

I hope this help ^-^
