Which of the following causes the formation of ionic bonds

pantera1 [17]

Answer: b. One atom transferring electrons to another atom

Explanation: An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.

Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons between non metals

For example, In calcium iodide the one electron from calcium metal gets transferred to iodine atom and thus form an ionic bond to give $CaI_2$

Electronic configuration of calcium:

$[Ca]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2$

Calcium atom will lose two electron to gain noble gas configuration and form calcium cation with +2 charge.

$[Ca^{2+}]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6$

Electronic configuration of iodine:

$[I]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^5$

Iodine atom will gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form iodide ion with -1 charge.

$[I^-]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

Does the biosphere have clear boundaries

Ne4ueva [31]

No, the biosphere does not exhibit a clear boundary as life always comes to an end.

The biosphere comprises all the living things of the world, like all the plants and animals. It is considered as the global ecosystem, that is, the gathering of all the planet's ecosystems. It comprises the land and the atmosphere. It is usually considered as the zone of life, where all the species of the planet thrives.

Applying a force can make an electron shift from one atom to another causing what?

Alexus [3.1K]

Electrons in atoms can act as our charge carrier, because every electron carries a negative charge. If we can free an electron from an atom and force it to move, we can create electricity.

What does the average atomic mass on the periodic table tell you?

never [62]

The atomic mass on the periodic table represents the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons.

Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons
