Answer:

Explanation:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. It is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion. Both atoms are bonded together electrostatic attraction occur between anion and cations.

Sodium atom have one valance electron by losing this one valance electron sodium atom get the complete octet. Chlorine atom has seven valance electrons and needed to lose seven valance electrons or to get one electron and thus complete the octet. It is very easy for chlorine atom to get one electrons instead of losing all seven electron. Thus when it react with sodium it gain the valance electron of sodium and form ionic compound.

That's why only one atom of  sodium combine with one atom chlorine.

Does heating a cup of water allow it to dissolve more sugar? Temperature of the water is measured in degrees centigrade. Amount
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Yes heating water allows it to dissolve more Sugars because the molecular distance increases and this distance can be covered by more sugar. In the given question, The independent variable would be the temperature of water.

Since to whatever temperature the water boils at the boiling temperature of  does not change remains hundred degree. Rest all the variables can vary the weight of the amount of sugar with the variable in the temperature of Boiling of water to remain constant.

The electrolyte of the following is:
ozzi
An electrolyte is a term used to describe a compound that can dissociate into ions as it is nothing but an ionic compound, a salt made up of a positively charged cation and negatively charged anion.

Here the correct answer is D. Since there are no hydrocarbons or any other organic compound, that do not possess partial let alone full charges, all of them can dissociate in solution to give their ions.

This allows for the solution to be able to conduct electricity.

How do you find percentage yeild​
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

To calculate the percentage of a specific number, you first convert the percentage number to a decimal. This process is the reverse of what you did earlier. You divide your percentage by 100. So, 40% would be 40 divided by 100.
