Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Storage battery oe cell

Explanation:

The storage battery or cell is a device that coverts chemical energy into light energy when required.

During charging of battery, there is some chemical changes in the battery and absorb energy. The absorbed energy is converted into electrical energy when connected to an external load.

Hence, the correct answer is "Storage battery or cell".

The Molecule of Sodium Formate along with Formal Charges (in blue) and lone pair electrons (in red) is attached below.

Sodium Formate is an ionic compound made up of a positive part (Sodium Ion) and a polyatomic anion (Formate).

Nomenclature:

                       In ionic compounds the positive part is named first. As sodium ion is the positive part hence, it is named first followed by the negative part i.e. formate.

Name of Formate:

                             Formate ion has been derived from formic acid ( the simplest carboxylic acid). When carboxylic acids looses the acidic proton of -COOH, they are converted into Carboxylate ions.

E.g.

                    HCOOH (formic acid)    →     HCOO⁻ (formate)  +  H⁺

                H₃CCOOH (acetic acid)     →      H₃CCOO⁻ (acetate)  +  H⁺

Formal Charges:

                           Formal charges are calculated using following formula,

          F.C  =  [# of Valence e⁻] - [e⁻ in lone pairs + 1/2 # of bonding electrons]

For Oxygen:

                    F.C  =  [6] - [6 + 2/2]

                    F.C  =  [6] - [6 + 1]

                    F.C  =  6 - 7

                    F.C  =  -1

For Sodium:

                    F.C  =  [1] - [0 + 0/2]

                    F.C  =  [1] - [0]

                    F.C  =  1 - 0

                    F.C  =  +1
