<u>Ionic Bond</u> is formed when the electronegativity difference is 0.4 > 2.0. Electronegativity is a term that can be defined as a tendency of an atom to attract electron towards its own self.
Explanation:
Electronegativity is a term that can be defined as a tendency of an atom to attract electron towards its own self.
An electronegativity of an atom is affected by
- The atomic number of the atom
- Secondly by the distance at which the valence electron are residing from the nucleus
1. In case the electronegativity difference (which is denoted by ΔEN) is less than 0.5 then the bond formed is known as N<u>onpolar covalent.
</u>
2. In case the ΔEN is in between 0.5 and 1.6, the bond formed is referred to as the<u> Polar covalent
</u>
3. In case the ΔEN is more /greater than 2.0, then the bond formed is referred to as<u> Ionic Bond</u>
<u>2 Examples of Ionic bonds</u>
- The formation of sodium fluoride, NaF, from a sodium atom and a fluorine atom is an example of Ionic bond formation.
- Another example is the formation of NaCl from sodium (Na),which is a metal, and chloride (Cl), which is a nonmetal
Answer:
1. The electronic configuration of X is: 1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2
2. The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6
3. The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given as: XY
Explanation:
For X to loss two electrons, it means X is a group 2 element. X can be any element in group 2. The electronic configuration of X is:
1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2
To get the electronic configuration of the anion of element Y, let us find the configuration of element Y. This is done as follows:
Y receives two electrons from X to complete its octet. Therefore Y is a group 6 element. The electronic configuration of Y is given below
1s2 2s2 2p4
The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6
The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given below :
X^2+ + Y^2- —> XY
Their valency will cancel out thus forming XY
Hello!
The genetic material of all organisms which is made up of two twisted strands in a double helix is called DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid)
DNA is the basis of all genetic information. It contains all instructions for the development and functioning of all living organisms and some viruses. The main function of DNA is the long-term storage of information to build other cell components like Proteins and RNA. It is composed of two strands with 4 possible bases which are Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G).
Have a nice day!
