Why would Sodium(Na) and Chlorine (CI) want to form a lonic Bond?

Physics
1 answer:
miskamm [114]3 years ago

Answer: to achieve a stable octet of electrons in their outer shell

Explanation:

- Sodium (Na) has an atomic number of 11, and an electronic configuration of 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s1.

- Chlorine (CI) Sodium (Na) has an atomic number of 17, and an electronic configuration of 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p5.

Hence, sodium donates its single valence electron to chlorine, thereby achieving a stable octet structure of 1s2, 2s2 2p6 while chlorine accept the single electron also forming a stable octet structure of 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6. Therefore, the reaction yields NaCl, an ionic compound with ionic (electrovalent) bond.

Na + Cl --> NaCl

Thus, Sodium(Na) and Chlorine (CI) want to form a lonic Bond because both acheive a completely filled outermost shell (octet structure)

The activation of clotting factors will be blocked.
dedylja [7]

With the blocking of activation of clotting factors, the rate of conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin will decrease to a huge extent and this will prevent the clot formation.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The process of stopping of flow of blood through any wound by formation of a clot is known as blood clotting. The clot in blood is formed by conversion of the fibrinogen protein into its polymer form fibrin which forms a meshwork.

The conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin requires a lot of enzymes and factors present which is required one by one, known as the Cascade theory. Total of 13 factors are required, where there are prothrombin, thromboplastin, and different other factors. Inactivation of any of the 13 factors will lead to less conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, thereby the rate of conversion will highly decrease.

An object moves from the position +16m to the position +43m in 12s. What us the total displacement
NeX [460]

First method

initial distance = 16m

final distance= 43 m

total distance covered= final -initial

                                     =43m -16m

                                     =27m

Second method

Si= 16m

Sf =43 m

t= 12 s

first we will find V

V =  (Sf-Si)/ t

V =( 43- 16)/ 12

V = 27/12  ⇒ V= 9/4

V= distance / time

distance= V×time

distance = (9/4) ×12

distance =27

A bead slides without friction around a loopthe-loop. The bead is released from a height 21.9 m from the bottom of the loop-the-
wariber [46]

Answer:

Part a)

v = 12.45 m/s

Part B)

F_n = 0.05 N

Explanation:

Part A)

As we know that the point A lies on the top of the loop

so we will have by energy conservation

mgH = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + mg(2R)

so the speed at point A is given as

mg(H - 2R) = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

v = \sqrt{2g(H - 2R)}

v = \sqrt{2(9.81)(21.9 - 2\times 7)}

v = 12.45 m/s

Part B)

Now the force equation at point A is given as

F_n + mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}

F_n = \frac{mv^2}{R} - mg[/tex]

F_n = 0.004(\frac{12.45^2}{7} - 9.81)

F_n = 0.05 N
