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)

Alarge plate is fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 82.4 MPa m1/2. If the plate is expos
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

minimum length of a surface crack is 18.3 mm

Explanation:

Given data

plane strain fracture toughness K = 82.4 MPa m1/2

stress σ = 345 MPa

Y = 1

to find out

the minimum length of a surface crack

solution

we will calculate length by this formula

length = 1/π ( K / σ Y)²

put all value

length = 1/π ( K / σ Y)²

length = 1/π ( 82.4 10^{3/2} / 345× 1)²

length = 18.3 mm

minimum length of a surface crack is 18.3 mm

Which best describes how the current scientific model of the atom was developed?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

A. The model was the result of hundreds of years of experiments.

Explanation:

Since it is not possible to visualize an atom in isolation, scientists have spent hundreds of years experimenting and creating atomic models, that is, images that serve to explain the constitution, properties and behavior of atoms.

The earliest who imagined the existence of the atoms were the Greek philosophers Leucippus and Democritus in about 450 BCE. According to them, everything would be formed by tiny indivisible particles. Hence the origin of the name "atom", which comes from the Greek a (no) and tome (parts).

But in the nineteenth century, some scientists began to conduct experimental tests increasingly accurate thanks to technological advances. Not only was it discovered that everything was actually made up of tiny particles, but it was also possible to understand more and more about the atomic structure.

Scientists used the information discovered by other scholars to develop the atomic model. In this way, the discoveries of one scientist were replaced by those of others. The concepts that were correct remained, but those that proved to be non-real were now abandoned. Thus, new atomic models were created. This series of discoveries of the atomic structure until arriving at the accepted models today was known like the evolution of the atomic model.
