Answer:

Ionization energy of the metal and electron affinity of the nonmetal

Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed when a metal transfers electrons to a nonmetal.

M· + A ⟶ M⁺ + ·A⁻

The two main factors affecting this process are the

  • Ionization energy of the metal
  • Electron affinity of the nonmetal

1. Ionization energy

The lower the ionization energy of the metal, the more likely it is able to donate an electron.

2. Electron affinity

The higher the electron affinity of the nonmetal, the more likely it is to accept an electron,

3. Periodic trends

(a) Ionization Energy

Ionization energy increases from bottom to top and from left to right in the Periodic Table.

Thus, the atoms with the lowest ionization energy are in the lower left corner of the Periodic Table.

(b) Electron affinity

Electron affinity increases from bottom to top and from left to right in the Periodic Table.

Thus, the atoms with the highest electron affinity are in the upper right corner of the Periodic Table.

The “fatal flaw” in Rutherford’s model of the atom was the idea that if the electrons were ________.
Wittaler [7]
The correct option is A. Rutherford model of the atom consider an atom to be made up of a central nucleus with electrons orbiting around it. The nucleus is considered to be tiny, heavy and its positively charged while the electrons are negatively charged. The shortcoming of this model is that it was not able to explain how the positive nucleus was not able to attract the negative electrons and pull them inside the nucleus.

Calculate the molarity of the solution formed when 0.72 moles of CaBr2 is dissolved in 1.50 L water.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The molarity of the formed CaBr2 solution is 0.48 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles CaBr2 = 0.72 moles

Volume of water = 1.50 L

Step 2: Calculate the molarity of the solution

Molarity of CaBr2 solution = moles CaBr2 / volume water

Molarity of CaBr2 solution = 0.72 moles / 1.50 L

Molarity of CaBr2 solution = 0.48 mol / = 0.48 M

The molarity of the formed CaBr2 solution is 0.48 M
