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.

A bowling ball and basketball collide, what direction do they go and how is energy transferred?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

When the batter hits the ball, there is a force applied, and energy is transferred. The ball will move in the direction the force is pushing it. If two objects collide, energy will be transferred between both, and there will be a change in motion.

How did the work of Dmitri Mendeleev differ from that of John Newlands in the development of the periodic table?
alex41 [277]
When Newlands tried to create a periodic table, his tried to conform to the "Rule of Octaves" he had discovered. He had the right idea, in that if you arrange the elements by atomic weight there would be similarities every 7 elements (not 8 because noble gases hadn't been discovered yet) but he tried to push this rule so much that he would put multiple elements in the same box to try to keep the rule. Mendeleev, however, left gaps in this table for undiscovered elements, which paved the way for our modern periodic table.

Difference between melting point and melting range
Rudik [331]
The temperature at which a given solid will melt is called melting point.

The melting range is the span of temperature from the point at which the crystals first begin to liquefy to the point at which the entire sample is liquid.
