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)

dsp73

Answer:

angular speed of both the children will be same

Explanation:

Rate of revolution of the merry go round is given as

f = 4.04 rev/min

so here we have

f = \frac{4.04}{60} =0.067 rev/s

here we know that angular frequency is given as

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi(0.067)

\omega = 0.42 rad/s

now this is the angular speed of the disc and this speed will remain same for all points lying on the disc

Angular speed do not depends on the distance from the center but it will be same for all positions of the disc
