The given question is incomplete . The complete question is :
In ionic bonding, during the transfer of electrons between two neutrally charged atoms, one electron moves from one atom to another. What are the new relative charges between the two atoms?
a. The giving atom and receiving atom are both negatively charged
b. The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged.
c. The giving and receiving atom are both positively charged
d. The giving atom is now negatively charged and the receiving atom is now positively charged.
Answer: The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged.
Explanation:
Ionic compounds are formed by transference of electrons between metals and non metals. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.
For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
Thus when one electron moves from one atom to another, the metal acquires a positive charge and the non metal acquires negative charge.
For example: is formed by transfer of one electron from sodium to chlorine , thus forming

Answer:
49.2 g/mol
Explanation:
Let's first take account of what we have and convert them into the correct units.
Volume= 236 mL x () = .236 L
Pressure= 740 mm Hg x ()= 0.97 atm
Temperature= 22C + 273= 295 K
mass= 0.443 g
Molar mass is in grams per mole, or MM= or MM=
. They're all the same.
We have mass (0.443 g) we just need moles. We can find moles with the ideal gas constant PV=nRT. We want to solve for n, so we'll rearrange it to be
n=, where R (constant)= 0.082 L atm mol-1 K-1
Let's plug in what we know.
n=
n= 0.009 mol
Let's look back at MM= and plug in what we know.
MM=
MM= 49.2 g/mol
