<h3>ANSWER:</h3>

(C) KBr

<h3>EXPLANATION:</h3>

An ionic compound is made up of a metal and a nonmetal. K is a metal while bromine is a nonmetal. Thus K transfers its one electron to bromine in order to form an ionic compound.

An ionic compound is composed of ions, a positive ion i.e. a cation and a negative ion i.e. an anion. The bond formed between the two elements is an ionic bond which is formed by the complete transfer of electrons from an electropositive element to the electronegative element. The electropositive element loses its electron and gains a positive charge whereas the electronegative atom accepts that electron and gains a negative charge.

In the given examples:

KBr is made up of ions

Potassium being electropositive becomes positively charged K+

Bromine is electronegative and becomes negatively charged Br-

KBr = K⁺Br⁻

Answer:

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

Isotopic notation:       Protons            Neutrons          Electrons

        ¹⁹⁷₇₉Au                  79                      118                    79

Solution:

p+n = atomic mass = 79+118 = 197

e = 79  (atomic number)               so the element with atomic number Au.

Isotopic notation:       Protons            Neutrons          Electrons

        ⁷⁹₃₅Br                    35                        44                    35

Solution:

Number of neutrons = atomic mass - number of protons=  79-35 = 44

Number of protons and electrons are equal so number of electrons are 35.

Isotopic notation:       Protons            Neutrons          Electrons

        ¹²⁷₅₃I                          53                    74                      53

Solution:

The atomic number of iodine is 53.

Number of neutrons = atomic mass - number of protons= 127-53 = 74

Number of protons and electrons are equal so number of electrons are 53.

Isotopic notation:       Protons            Neutrons          Electrons

        ⁵⁶₂₆Fe                        26                       30                    26

Solution:

The atomic number of iron is 26.

atomic mass = n+p= 26+30= 56

Number of protons and electrons are equal so number of electrons are 26.

What volume of .15M NaOH could be produced with only 5 grams of NaOH and water?
fenix001 [56]

The volume of 0.15M NaOH that could be produced with only 5 grams of NaOH and water is 0.83L.

<h3>How to calculate volume?</h3>

The volume of a substance can be calculated using the following expression:

Molarity = number of moles ÷ volume

The number of moles of NaOH can be calculated by dividing the mass of NaOH by its molar mass.

Molar mass of NaOH = 40g/mol

n = 5/40

n = 0.125moles

Volume of NaOH = 0.125mol ÷ 0.15M

Volume = 0.83L

Therefore, the volume of 0.15M NaOH that could be produced with only 5 grams of NaOH and water is 0.83L.

Does the attractive forces between the bonded atoms become weaker or stronger when a chemical bond breaks?
kicyunya [14]

The more electrons that are shared between two atoms, the stronger their bond will be. Covalent bonding is an example.

One mole of CO2 is equivalent to
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

44.01 grams

Explanation:

the the mass of 1 mole of CO2 is 44.0 1 grams. there are 6.022×1023 molecules of CO2 in a mole, enough to make the grams in the mole equal the mass.
