Metals give up electrons to become cation or anion

Chemistry

galina1969 [7]4 years ago

Metals usually become cations since electrons are negatively charged and when they are lost there are more protons than electrons making a positive net charge in the atom.  (cations are positively charged ions while anions are negatively charged ions)

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

What is the nature of the Ca-Cl bond in a molecule of calcium chloride (CaCl2) if the electronegativity value of calcium is 1.0
nevsk [136]
Ca-Cl is an ionic bond. We know this because the difference between their electronegativities is 2.16.The electronegativity tells us which atom will attract the electron more than the other. Hence, chlorine attracts the electron a lot more than the calcium.A difference of more than 1.6 (or 1.7 depending on the source) implies that the electrons are so unevenly shared, that the bond is ionic, rather than polar covalent.

How many Liters of space will a 70.0g sample of CO2 occupy?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

  35.6 liters at STP

Explanation:

The molar mass of carbon dioxide is about 44.01 g/mol. The volume of a mole of ideal gas at STP is 22.4 L, so the volume of 70.0 g will be ...

  (70.0g)/(44.01 g/mol)·(22.4 L/mol) ≈ 35.6 L
