How does an ionic bond differ from a covalent bond?

Chemistry

Usimov [2.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

Ionic bonds transfer electrons and covalent bonds share electrons.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds tend to transfer electrons completely. Take NaCl for example.

Cl has 7 valence electrons.

Na has 1 valence electron.

To stabilize themselves, either with a full 8 shells or full outer shell, Cl wants 1 electron and Na wants to lose 1 electron. So when NaCl forms, Na donates its electron to Cl.

In a covalent bond, the electrons are shared. Water can be used as an example. The electrons in water usually are around the oxygen, but sometimes it is around the hydrogens.

Answer: The coefficient of nitrogen in the given equation is 2.

Explanation: The reaction for the oxidation of methamphentamine with oxygen gas in the body is given by:

4C_{10}H_{15}N(s)+55O_2(g)\rightarrow 40CO_2(g)+30H_2O(l)+2N_2(g)

By Stoichiometry,

4 moles of methamphentamine reacts with 55 moles of oxygen gas to produce 40 moles of carbon dioxide gas, 30 moles of water and 2 moles of nitrogen gas.

Coefficient of C_{10}H_{15}N=4

Coefficient of O_2=55

Coefficient of CO_2=40

Coefficient of H_2O=30

Coefficient of N_2=2

Hence, the coefficient of nitrogen in the given equation is 2.

Select the correct answer.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of N (7 electrons): 1s² 2s² 2p³.

The orbital 1s is filled with two electrons and their spinning direction is opposite and also electrons of 2s.

3p contains (3 electrons) should fill the 3 orbitals firstly. Every orbital contains 1 electron and be in the same spin direction.

So, the right choice is c.

A is wrong because 2 electrons of 3p are paired in the first orbital before filling every orbital.

B is wrong because the 2 electrons of 1s and 2s are in the same direction and also 2 electrons of 3p are paired in the first orbital before filling every orbital.

D is also wrong the 2 electrons of 1s and 2s are in the same direction and the electron in the second orbital of 3p are in opposite direction of the other 2 electrons.
