Atoms 'like' to have 8 valence electrones. sodium has one electron 'in excess' and chlorine 'lacks' in one. so they just exchange :) both are happy. then the ionic bond is formed because chlorine is now charged negative (additional electron) and sodium is charged positive (gave up one electrone) - the opposite charges cause electrostatic pull. many atoms, many bonds and thats how salt is built.

Consider two equal-volume flasks of gas at the same temperature and pressure. One gas, oxygen, has a molecular mass of 32. The o
san4es73 [151]

Answer: The ratio of the number of oxygen molecules to the number of nitrogen molecules in these flasks is 1: 1

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, equal volumes of all gases at same temperature and pressure have equal number of moles.

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

Thus as oxygen and nitrogen are at same temperature and pressure and are in equal volume flasks , they have same number of moles and thus have same number of molecules.

The ratio of the number of oxygen molecules to the number of nitrogen molecules in these flasks is 1: 1
