Will bromine react with sodium and why?

Chemistry

Archy [21]3 years ago
4 0

<span><span>When you write down the electronic configuration of bromine and sodium, you get this

Na:
Br: </span></span>

<span><span />So here we the know the valence electrons for each;</span>

<span><span>Na:  (2e)
Br:  (7e, you don't count for the d orbitals)

Then, once you know this, you can deduce how many bonds each can do and you discover that bromine can do one bond since he has one electron missing in his p orbital, but that weirdly, since the s orbital of sodium is full and thus, should not make any bond.

However, it is possible for sodium to come in an excited state in wich he will have sent one of its electrons on an higher shell to have this valence configuration:</span></span>

<span><span /></span><span><span>

</span>where here now it has two lonely valence electrons, one on the s and the other on the p, so that it can do a total of two bonds.</span><span>That's why bromine and sodium can form </span>

<span>
</span>

Why is salt an ionic bond? Why is salt an ionic bond?
yaroslaw [1]
: If you mean table salt i.e. sodium chloride. It is held together by ionic bonds between sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-) ions. The sodium ions have a positive charge and the chlorine ions have a negative charge. Since opposite charges attract, they form ionic bonds. Ionic bonds are nothing more than the attraction between positive and negative ions.

Glacial striations have been found in South America, South Africa, India, and Australia. What do these marks tell scientist?
zubka84 [21]
These mars can tell the scientist that there are still a lot of things that they can not discover. The glaciation can also tell us about the alignment of the earth and not just it can tell us about the climate. That is why it is really important for the scientist to study keenly in this kind of matters.

Which of the following corresponds to an alpha particle?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Atomic number=No. of protons=No. of electrons in ground state(unchanged atom)

Atomic number=13=No. of protons

Atomic mass=no. of protons+no. of neutrons=13+14=27

For isotope no. of proton=13(same atomic number but different mass number are isotopes)

no. of electrons=13

no. of neutrons=14+2=16

Explanation:

hope it's help you
