Ionic bonds are formed when one of the two atoms that are reacting has excess electrons and transfer the electrons to the atom that is deficient in electrons. During the formation of the ionic bond, one of the reacting atoms will donate electrons and form positive ion.
<h2>Answer:</h2>
The density of mercury molecule is higher than water.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Density is defined as mass per unit volume.In other words, density is the amount of matter within a given amount of space. water has the density of 1.0 gram per milliliter whereas the mercury has a density of 13.6 grams per centimeter squared.
One reason for the differences in density between mercury and water is that the atomic mass of mercury is 200.59 grams per mole. The atomic mass of water is 18.0 grams per mole. This is because mercury has a larger nucleus than hydrogen or water.
Additionally, there are strong inter-molecular forces (hydrogen bonds) between water molecules. hydrogen molecules do not stack upon one another as nicely as mercury atoms. Thus, there is additional empty spaces between the water molecules leading to its lower mass per volume(density)
