The following figure represents the formation of an ionic compound. Substances A and B are initially uncharged, but when mixed e

lectrons are transferred. Using the figure, identify which substance will form the cation and which will form the anion. Provide a brief (one or two sentences) explanation for your response. (Hint: How does losing electrons affect atomic radii?)

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but some general explanation provides a clear answer to what is been asked in the question.

An ionic/electrovalent compound is a compound whose constituent atoms are joined together by ionic bond. Ionic bond is a bond involving the transfer of valence electron(s) from an atom (to form a positively charged cation) to another  atom (to form a  negatively charged anion). The atom transferring is usually a metal while the atom receiving is usually a non-metal.

For example (as shown in the attachment), in the formation of NaCl salt, the sodium (Na) transfers the single electron (valence) on it's outermost shell to chlorine (Cl) which ordinarily has 7 electrons on it's outermost shell but becomes 8 after receiving the valence electron from sodium. It should also be noted that Na is a metal while Cl is a non-metal.

Calculate the mass of aluminum in 500 g of Al(C2H3O2)3
Luden [163]
Answer: 66.2 g

Explanation:

1) The ratio of Al in the molecule is  1 mol to 1 mol .

2) The mass of 1 mol of molecules of Al (CH2H3O2)3 is the molar mass of the compound.

3) You calculate the molar mass of the compound using the atomic masses of each atom, in this way:

Al: 27 g/mol
C: 2 * 3 * 12 g/mol = 72 g/mol
H: 3 * 3 * 1 g/mol = 9 g/mol
O: 2 * 3 * 16 g/mol = 96 g/mol

Molar mass = 27 g/mol + 72 g/mol + 9 g/mol + 96 g/mol = 204 g/mol

4) Set a proportion:

    27 g/mol                x
-------------------- =  ----------
   204 g/mol            500 g

5) Solve for x:

x = 500 g * 27 g/mol / 204 g/mol = 66.2 g

Why do you think that scientists in the 20th century thought that it was important to “unlock” the structures of the atom?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The 20th century saw huge advances in our understanding and use of the nucleus. For instance, in 1939 scientists Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch discovered nuclear fission – a process by which radioactive materials release energy when they are induced to split.

Realising the huge amount of energy that such a reaction produces, scientists were tasked with developing this new knowledge initially for harm in nuclear weapons. Just six years after fission’s discovery, it was harnessed in the atom bombs that destroyed the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and controversially ended the Second World War. Later, much more powerful hydrogen bombs were developed that combined fission with the process powering the Sun – fusion.

Hope this helps! PLEASE GIVE ME BRAINLIEST!!!!! =)
