<span>A machine is a device that does work. Most machines consist of a number of elements, such as gears and ball bearings, that work together in a complex way. Nonetheless, no matter how complex they are, all machines are based in some way on six types of simple machines. These six types of machines are the lever, the wheel and axle, the pulley, the inclined plane, the wedge, and t</span>
Answer:
The answer is most likely A. Definite proportions
Explanation:
The Law of Definite proportions states that a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed ratio (by mass) and does not depend on its source and method of preparation.
The given question is incomplete . The complete question is :
In ionic bonding, during the transfer of electrons between two neutrally charged atoms, one electron moves from one atom to another. What are the new relative charges between the two atoms?
a. The giving atom and receiving atom are both negatively charged
b. The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged.
c. The giving and receiving atom are both positively charged
d. The giving atom is now negatively charged and the receiving atom is now positively charged.
Answer: The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged.
Explanation:
Ionic compounds are formed by transference of electrons between metals and non metals. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.
For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
Thus when one electron moves from one atom to another, the metal acquires a positive charge and the non metal acquires negative charge.
For example:
is formed by transfer of one electron from sodium to chlorine , thus forming
and
