The answer which is the best description of how electrons are transferred in an ionic bond is - A metal atom loses electrons and a nonmetal atom gains electrons. W<span>hile forming an ionic bond the metal atom loses electrons to gain a positive charge whereas the non-metal atom gains these electrons and gets a negative charge and then these charges attract and they bond together forming the ionic bond.</span>

The last one will be It's better to use the average data instead of the single trail because the average you don't have to multiply add subtract and all that nonsense but if you use the single trail you will have to do all the adding multiplying etc.

Consider the half reaction below.
Radda [10]
Answer: the second option: <span>Iron is being oxidized
</span>

Explanation:

1) Oxidation is the increase of the oxidation state (number) due to the loss of electrons.

2) In the given reaction, you can see that in the left side the atom is Fe. 

When an element (atom) is not combined (or combined with it self) its oxidation state is 0. 

3) In the right side of the given equation you that iron is now in form of cation with charge 2+: Fe²⁺.

That means that the new oxidation state of the element is 2+.

4) This change in the oxidation state, of course, is accompanied by the loss of the two electrons: 2e⁻.

5) Conclusion: the iron has oxidized by losing two electrons and increasing its oxidation state from 0 to 2+.

Noble gas compounds like KrF, XeCl, and XeBr are used in excimer lasers. Draw an approximate molecular orbital diagram appropria
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

The MO diagrams of KrBr, XeCl, and XeBr are shown below.

They are similar, except for the numbering of the valence shell orbitals.

Also, I have drawn the s and p orbitals at the same energy levels for both atoms in the compounds. That is obviously not the case.

However, the MO diagrams are approximately correct.

The ground state electron configuration of KrF is

(1\sigma_{g})^{2}\, (1\sigma_{u}^{*})^{2} \, (2\sigma_{g})^{2} \, (2\sigma_{u}^{*})^{2} \, (3\sigma_{g})^{2} \,  (1\pi_{u})^{4} \, (1\pi_{g}^{*})^{4} \, (3\sigma_{g}^{*})^{1}

KrF⁺ will have one less electron than KrF.

You remove the antibonding electron from the highest energy orbital, so the bond order increases.

The KrF bond will be stronger.
