Why is baking soda an ionic bond

Chemistry

Ionic bond is formed when 2 ions one with positive charge(s) and another with negative charge(s) chemically combines together, such as under heat.

Baking soda is also known as sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), which consists of sodium ions and bicarbonate ions.

Sodium ion brings 1 positive charge (Na+) meanwhile bicarbonate ion brings 1 negative charge (HCO3-). Therefore, when these 2 kind of ions combine together, one electron is transferred to a bicarbonate ion from a sodium ion, so that both of these ions can maintain a stable electron number.

Meanwhile, metallic bond is where atoms of only metals bond together, they all can make positive ions (but not used in metallic bonds), and covalent bond is where atoms of only non metals, they can all make a negative ion (also not used in covalent bonds).

Therefore, whenever a compound which consists of negative and positive ions bonded together, the bonding is ionic bond.

What is an example of entropy from everyday life?
Lorico [155]
One of the greatest examples of entropy working in everyday life is the fact that a messy room is the norm. So if you clean your room it will likely become messy over a period of time, and work will have to be put in to make it orderly again.

Red lights on a traffic light have a frequency of 4.3 X 10^15 Hz. What is the red light’s wavelength in meters? (Speed of light
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The correct answer to this problem is B. 7.0 X 10^-8 meters

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we have to use the following equation:

c = λν, or speed of light = wavelength*frequency

If we substitute in the values we are given by the problem, we get:

3.00 * 10^8 m/s = (4.3 * 10^15 Hz)*(wavelength)

wavelength = 6.98 * 10^-8 m

Since the given value has 2 significant figures, our answer should similarly include two significant figures since the operation in the problem was multiplication.

Therefore, the answer is B. 7.0 X 10^-8 meters.

Hope this helps!

Calculate the energy of an electron in the n = 2 level of a hydrogen atom.
ANEK [815]

Answer: The energy of an electron in the n = 2 level of a hydrogen atom is 3.40 eV.

Explanation:

Given: n = 2

The relation between energy and n^{th} orbit of an atom is as follows.

E = - \frac{13.6}{n^{2}} eV

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

E = - \frac{13.6}{n^{2}} eV\\= - \frac{13.6}{(2)^{2}}\\= - 3.40 eV

The negative sign indicates that energy is being released.

Thus, we can conclude that the energy of an electron in the n = 2 level of a hydrogen atom is 3.40 eV.
