Answer:
CO32−
Explanation:
We have to consider the valencies of the polyatomic ions involved. Recall that it is only a polyatomic ion with a valency of -2 that can form a compound which requires two sodium ions.
When we look closely at the options, we will realize that among all the options, only CO32− has a valency of -2, hence it must be the required answer. In order to be double sure, we put down the ionic reaction equation as follows;
2Na^+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq) ---------> Na2CO3(aq)
Answer:
Ionic bonds form between two or more atoms by the transfer of 1 or more electrons between atoms. Electron transfer produces negative ions called anions and positive ions called cations. ... In forming an chemical bond, the sodium atom, which is electropositive, loses its negatron to chlorine.
Explanation:
With the principle quantum number being 2, the maximum number that can share this is 8. You can use the general formula 2n^2 to calculate this number (n=quantum level), or you can use the concept of quantum numbers (n, l, m, s) to justify this answer.
