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.

Metal cations are atoms that have a positive charge. What type of bond is a metal cation likely to form? A. covalent bond B. dou
Lunna [17]

Answer:

D. ionic bond

Explanation:

Due to electron deficiency in a metal cation, they cannot form a covalent bond beacuse it means to share electrons. By contrast metal cation seek for electrons. In an ionic bond, one atom give electrons, while another atom recevie electron. Because of that, this is the better option to metal cations.

Paha777 [63]

The hours taken for concentration to decrease from 0 to 74 min. to 0.21 m is 91.7 hours.

<h3>What is the rate law of a reaction?</h3>

Rate law depicts the rate of a chemical reaction depend on the concentration of the reactant.

The given reaction is second order reaction

Thus, the hours taken for concentration to decrease from 0 to 74 min. to 0.21 m is 91.7 hours.
