Answer:

(b) lose electrons and form positive ions

Explanation:

<u>Ionic bonding:- </u>

This type of bonding is formed when there is a complete transfer of electrons from one element to another element. In this bonding one element is always a metal and another is a non-metal.

<u>For example, the formation of NaCl</u>

The electronic configuration of sodium with Z = 11 is : 2, 8, 1

The electronic configuration of chlorine with Z = 17 is : 2, 8, 7

<u>Thus, sodium loses one electron and become positively charged and chlorine accepts this electron and become negatively charged and they have both their octets complete and form ionic bond.</u>

Hence, can be seen from the above example, metallic atoms generally lose electrons and form positive ions.

0.0200 moles of a compound is found to have a mass of 1.64 g. Find the formula mass of the compound
KatRina [158]

Answer: 82.0 g/mole

Explanation:

Use the units to see that if we divide 1.64 grams by 0.0200 moles, we'll get a number that is grams/mole, the definition of formula mass.

1.64/0.0200 = 82.0 g/mole (3 sig figs)

We can't tell from this alone what the molecular formula might be, but C6H10 (cyclohexene) comes close (82.1 grams/mole).

Write the atomic symbol for the isotope of bismuth with 125 neutrons.
vlada-n [284]

First, isotopes <u>are the atoms of a single element whose nuclei have a different number of neutrons</u>, and therefore, differ in mass numbers. You should know that atoms are formed by a nucleus that has a small size and is made up of protons and neutrons. The nucleus is surrounded by a cloud of electrons, which are found in a region of the atom called the cortex.

The mass number, represented as A, <u>is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus</u>. On the other hand, the atomic number (Z) is <u>the number of protons that exist in the nucleus. </u>

The isotopes of an element X are represented as follows,

<em>(see first attached picture)</em>

It should be noted that the number of neutrons of a chemical element can be calculated as the difference A-Z.

<u>The atomic and mass numbers of bismuth with 125 neutrons are</u>:

Z = 83

A = 83 + 125 = 208

Thus, the atomic symbol of the bismuth isotope with 125 neutrons is:

<em>(see second attached picture)</em>

What are the balanced chemical equation for these acid and base reactions?
photoshop1234 [79]
It can be easily judged that only the first reaction is an acid base reaction among the three given in the question. So, we can avoid the other two reactions given in the question. Now let us focus and write down the balanced chemical equation of <span>P-Toluidine + HCl.

</span><span>C7H9N + HCl = C7H10N (+) + Cl (-)

Of the five salts listed below, which has the highest concentration of its cation in water? assume that all salt solutions are s
Zigmanuir [339]
First of all, I need to know what these five salts are. Luckily, I found a similar problem from another website which is shown in the attached picture. The Ksp is the solubility product constant. It follows the formula:

Ksp = [cation concentration]ᵃ[anion concentration]ᵇ
where a and b are the subscripts of the metal and nonmetal, respectively. 

For the solutions ahead, let x be the concentration of the cation.

A.  The formula is PbCr₂O₄.
2.8×10⁻¹³ = [x][x]
Solving for x, x = 5.29×10⁻⁷ M

B. The formula is Co(OH)₂. 
 1.3×10⁻¹⁵ = [x][x]²
Solving for x, x = 1.09×10⁻⁵ M

C. The formula is CoS. 
 5×10⁻²² = [x][x]
Solving for x, x = 2.24×10⁻¹¹ M

D. The formula is Cr(OH)₃. 
 1.6×10⁻³⁰ = [x][x]³
Solving for x, x = 3.56×10⁻⁶ M

E. The formula is Ag₂S. 
 6×10⁻⁵¹ = [x]²[x]
Solving for x, x = 1.82×10⁻¹⁷ M

<em>Thus,the highest concentration is letter B, Cobalt (II) Hydroxide.</em>
