Answer:
6.02 × 10²³ atoms
Explanation:
The number 6.02 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number. It is the number of atoms, ions and molecules in one gram atoms of an element, one gram ions of substance and one gram molecule of a compound.
For example:
32 g of oxygen = one mole = 6.02 × 10²³ atoms O.
1.008 g of hydrogen = one mole = 6.02 × 10²³ atoms of H.
or
18 g of H₂O =one mole = 6.02 × 10²³ molecules of H₂O
44 g of CO₂ = one mole = 6.02 × 10²³ molecules of CO₂
or
62 g of NO₃⁻ = one mole of NO₃⁻ = 6.02 × 10²³ ions of NO₃⁻
Answer is: Cl and Na.
sodium and chlorine are in third period and they have very different properties. Sodium is solid metal and chlorine is gaseous nonmetal.
They form compound NaCl (Sodium chloride), because sodium lost one valence electron and form cation Na⁺, chlorine gain one electron and form anion Cl⁻.
Electron configuration of sodium atom: ₁₁Na 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹.
Electron configuration of chlorine atom: ₁₇Cl 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵.
Other examples are metal-metal pairs and they do not form cation and anion.
