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.

Which is more concentrated, a solution containing 10g of NaCl in 100 g
Pavel [41]

Answer:

The answer is the solution containing the 90g of water.

Explanation:

Because both solutions have the same amount of the sodium chloride, the concentration would be the same if they both had the same amount of water.

Because the second solution has less water, there is more of the sodium chloride per each drop of water.

I hope this helps :)
