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.

F a sample of butene (C4H8) that has a mass of 136.6 g is combusted in excess oxygen, what is the mass of CO2 that is produced?
alukav5142 [94]

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

C4H8 + 6 O2 --> 4 CO2 + 4 H2O

We are given the amount of butene being combusted. This will be our starting point.

136.6 g C4H8 (1 mol  C4H8/ 56.11 g C4H8) (4 mol CO2/1 mol <span>C4H8</span>) ( 44.01 g CO2/ 1 mol CO2) = 428.6 g CO2

5 advantages of storing oil underground in salt dome?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Salt domes storage has advantages in cost, security, environmental risk, and maintenance. Salt formations offer the lowest cost, most environmentally secure way to store crude oil for long periods of time. Stockpiling oil in artificially-created caverns deep within the rock-hard salt costs historically about $3.50 per barrel in capital costs. Storing oil in above ground tanks, by comparison, can cost $15 to $18 per barrel - or at least five times the expense. Also, because the salt caverns are 2,000-4,000 feet below the surface, geologic pressures will sea; any crack that develops in the salt formation, assuring that no crude oil leaks from the cavern. An added benefit is the natural temperature differential between the top of the caverns and the bottom - a distance of around 2,000 feet; the temperature differential keeps the crude oil continuously circulating in the caverns, giving the oil a consistent quality.
