Answer: option D. The attractive forces between the sodium and chloride ions are overcome by the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions.

Explanation:

<em>Solid sodium chloride</em> (NaCl) is a ionic compound formed by ionic bonds between by the positive, metallic cations of sodium atom, Na⁺, and the negative, non-meatllic anions of chlorine atom, Cl⁻ (chloride).

Ionic bonds, then, are the electrostatic attracion between oppositely charged particles (cations and anions).

<em />

<em>When solid sodium chloride dissolves in water</em>, the ions (cations and anions) are separated in the solvent (water) due to the superior attracitve forces between such ions and the polar water molecules.

<em>Water</em> (H₂O) is a molecule, formed by polar covalent bonds between two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

The polarity of water molecule is due to the fact that oxygen atoms are more electronegative than hydrogen atoms, which cause that the electron density is closer to oxygen nuclei than to hydrogen nuclei. This asymmetry in the electron density conferes a partial positive charge over each hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge over the oxygen atoms.

Thus, the positively charged hydrogen atoms attract and surround the negative chloride (Cl⁻) anions, while the negatively charged oxygen atoms attract and surround the positive sodium (Na⁺) cations. It is only because the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions are stronger than the attractive forces between the sodiium and chloride ions that such ions may be kept separated in the solution. This process is called solvation and the ions are said to be solvated by the water molecules.

Calculate the following:
Brrunno [24]

Follow these steps to solve the given equation:

Multiply the two decimal figures together and find the sum of the exponents, that is,

(1.5 * 1.89) * 10 ^4+3

(2.835) * 10^7

10^7 can also be written as e.70

'e' stands for exponential. 

Therefore, we have  2. 835 e 7.0 = 2.8 e 7.0.

Based on the calculations above, the correct option is A.

Hydrogen has three naturally occurring isotopes which figure into the average atomic mass found on the periodic table (1.00974):
Art [367]
The number following the name of the element is the number of subatomic particles inside the nucleus of the atom. This means that it is the mass number of the isotope. The average atomic mass of the element is the sum of the products of the percentage abundance and mass number of the naturally occurring isotopes. 

Since, the average atomic mass of the hydrogen is nearest to 1 then, the most abundant isotope should be hydrogen-1.

Determine the formula unit for the compound formed when each pairs of ions interact.
maksim [4K]

The formula unit of compounds formed depends on the valency of the combining ions.

The formula unit is the smallest unit of an ionic substance that gives us a picture of the ratio in which ions are combined in the ionic compound.

Usually, the formula unit is written based on the valency of the ions.

For the ions listed;

Li+ and 02- forms Li2O

Mg2+ and S2- forms MgS

A13+ and CI- forms AlCl3

Na+ and N3- forms Na3N
