Answer:
Atoms form chemical bonds to make their outer electron shells more stable. An ionic bond, where one atom essentially donates an electron to another, forms when one atom becomes stable by losing its outer electrons and the other atoms become stable (usually by filling its valence shell) by gaining the electrons.
Answer:D. 2.61 x 10^22
Explanation:
Given that mass of Lead(Pb) = 8.97g
Molar mass of lead =207.2g/mol
No of moles = Mass / molar mass
=8.97g/207.2g/mol
= 0.04329moles
Converting to atoms using Avogadro's number
we know that
1 mole = 6.022 x 1023 atom
Therefore 0.04329 moles of Pb = 0.04329moles x 6.022 x 10^23 atoms
=2.6069 x 10^22
=2.61 x10^22atoms
An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal. A covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between atoms
