When, it donates electons.
as for example take
NaCl ( sodium chloride)
it's an ionic compund,
that means it is formed by donating or gaining electrons
Na is writen first than, it must be electropositive i.e it has donated electons which made it positive and the clorine gains electron so it's electronegative.
Na is positive because
as we know it's atomic number is 11 that means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons
now, when it donate electon it has, greater number of protons whose change is +ve so the atom becomes overall positively charged ion or cation.
and something same happens in clorine and because it gains one electron and the number of electrons increase in it by 1 whise charge is -ve so, the atom becomes negatively charged ion or anion which has a -1 charge.
Answer:
Explanation:
The definition of acids and bases by Arrhenius Theory was modified and extended by Bronsted-Lowry.
Bronsted-Lowry defined acid as a molecule or ion which donates a proton while a base is a molecule or ions that accepts the proton. This definition can be extended to include acid -base titrations in non-aqueous solutions.
In this theory, the reaction of an acid with a base constitutes a transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.
From the given information:
From above:
We will see that HCN releases an H⁺ ion, thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry acid
accepts the H⁺ ion ,thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry base.
The formula of the reactant that acts as a proton donor is <u>HCN</u>
The formula of the reactant that acts as a proton acceptor is <u>H2O</u>
Answer : The reaction is endothermic.
Explanation :
Formula used :
where,
= change in temperature =
Q = heat involved in the dissolution of KCl = ?
m = mass = 0.500 + 50.0 = 50.5 g
c = specific heat of resulting solution =
Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:
The heat involved in the dissolution of KCl is positive that means as the change in temperature decreases then the reaction is endothermic and as the change in temperature increases then the reaction is exothermic.
Hence, the reaction is endothermic.
Explanation:
(A)role of nittogen fixing bacteria
=Nitrogen-fixing bacteria, microorganisms capable of transforming atmospheric nitrogen into fixed nitrogen (inorganic compounds usable by plants). More than 90 percent of all nitrogen fixation is effected by these organisms, which thus play an important role in the nitrogen cycle.
B)role of nitrifying bacteria
=Nitrifying bacteria convert the most reduced form of soil nitrogen, ammonia, into its most oxidized form, nitrate. In itself, this is important for soil ecosystem function, in controlling losses of soil nitrogen through leaching and denitrification of nitrate.
C)role of denitrifying bacteria
=Denitrifying bacteria converts nitrates back to nitrogen gas.
