Answer:
<span>In ionic compounds, <u>Metals</u> lose their valence electrons to form positively charged Cations.
Explanation:
Metals have the ability to loose elctrons readily. For example metals of Group IA and Group IIA readily looses electrons in order to obtain Noble Gas Configuration. On the other hand Non-metals tends to gain electrons and acquire negative charge. While Ions are made when an an element gain or loose electrons. After loosing electrons element get positive charge which is called as Cation while on gaining electron it gets negative charge called as Anion.</span>

Explanation:
The essence of chemical bonding is in order to attain minimum energy. The minimum energy state is the most stable state of a chemical system.
As the distance of separation between atoms decreases, the potential energy of the system decreases accordingly.
An optimum distance is reached when the two atoms attain the lowest potential energy. This is designated as the bond distance of the two atoms.
Hence two atoms have lower potential energy when bonded than when separated at large distance.
Answer:
0.0250 g
Explanation:
Step 1: Determine the molar mass of Vitamin C.
The molar mass is the mass in grams corresponding to 1 mole. In order to calculate the molar mass of vitamin C (C₆H₈O₆) we need to add the molar masses of the elements that compose it.
M(C₆H₈O₆) = 6 × M(C) + 8 × M(H) + 6 × M(O)
M(C₆H₈O₆) = 6 × 12.01 g/mol + 8 × 1.01 g/mol + 6 × 16.00 g/mol
M(C₆H₈O₆) = 176.14 g/mol
Step 2: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.000142 mol of vitamin C.
1.0 mole ---------- 6.02x10²³ molecules
4.5 moles -------- ?
4.5 * 6,02x10²³ / 1.0
= 2.709x10²⁴ molecules units
