Answer:
The mass of silicon in kilograms in Earth's crust is
.
Explanation:
Mass of Earth =
(1 ton= 2000 lb)
(1 lb =453.6 g)
1 ton = 2000 × 453.6 g =907,200 g
Mass of Earth =
Percentage of earth crust = 0.50%
Mass of earth crust = M
Percentage of the silicon in Earth's crust = 27.2 %
Mass of silicon in in Earth's crust = m
1000 g = 1 kg
The mass of silicon in kilograms in Earth's crust is.
Answer:
Ionic bond is formed by the opposite ions attraction between the 2 atoms in an ionically bonded compound. The two ions i.e. Cation and Anions are formed by oxidation and reduction reactions respectively. General Ionic formula is as follow,
Mⁿ⁺ + Nⁿ⁻ → MN
where;
Mⁿ⁺ = Cation
Nⁿ⁻ = Anion
MN = Salt
Explanation:
Ionic bond is the electrostatic forces of attraction between positively charged cations and negatively charged Anions. These forces are very stronger resulting in increasing several physical properties of Ionic compounds like melting point and boiling point e.t.c.
Example:
Sodium Chloride:
NaCl is formed by Na⁺ cation and Cl⁻ anion as follow,
Oxidation of Na;
2 Na → 2 Na⁺ + 2 e⁻
Reduction of Cl₂;
Cl₂ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Cl⁻
Crystal Lattice formation is as follow,
Na⁺ + Cl⁻ → NaCl
Sun, use fusion to combine hydrogen atoms into helium atoms,
