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

Physics
1 answer:
miskamm [114]3 years ago
3 0

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 thermometer reading 70◦Fis placed in an oven preheated to a constant temperature. Through the glass window in the oven door,
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

T0=390 degF

Explanation:

The thermometer reading 70◦Fis placed in an oven preheated to a constant temperature. Through the glass window in the oven door, an observer records that the thermometer reads 110◦F after 12 minutes and 145◦F after 1 minute. How hot is the oven? Newton’s law of cooling yields the following differential equationdTdt=k(T−T0), whereT0 is the ambient temperature.

If T is temperature, then by Newton’s law

dTdt=-k(T−T0)

Where

T0− is temperature of oven  

∫\frac{dT}{T-T0} =\int\limits^0.5_0 {-k} \, dt

ln(T-T0), from 110 to 70=-kt, from 1/2 to 0

ln(110-T0)-ln(70-T0)=-k(1/2-0)

2in\frac{110-T0}{70-T0} =-k\\k=-2ln\frac{T0-110}{T0-70} ...........................1

integrating the LHS of the equation from 110 to 145F

∫∫∫\frac{dT}{T-T0} =\int\limits^1_0.5 {-k} \, dt

ln(145-T0)-ln(110-T0)=-k(1-1/2)

2ln145-T0/(110-T0)=-k

k=-2lnT0-145/(T0-110).......................2

couplijng equatiuon 2 with 1

(T0-110)^2=(T0-70)(T0-145)

T0^2-220T0+12100=T0^2-215T0+10150

5T0=1950

T0=390 degF

What do you know about tides?
Neporo4naja [7]

Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun, and the rotation of the Earth. Tide tables can be used to find the predicted times and amplitude (or "tidal range") of tides at any given locale.

How do satellites stay in orbit?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:A satellite maintains its orbit by balancing two factors its velocity the speed it takes to travel in a straight line and the gravitational pull that Earth has on it. A satellite orbiting closer to the Earth requires more velocity to resist the stronger gravitational pull.

The turns ratio is equal to the voltage ratio. Let n1 and n2 be the primary and secondary turns. Then
5850V/120V=n1/n2
48.75=2680/n2
n2=2680/48.75
