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:  NaCl is formed by transfer of one electron from sodium to chlorine , thus forming Na^+ and Cl^-

Which compound has both ionic and covenant bonds
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Calcium carbonate is another example of a compound with both ionic and covalent bonds.

Explanation:

In chemistry, an ionic compound is a chemical compound composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding. The compound is neutral overall, but consists of positively charged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions.

What is the total number of outer (valence) electrons in carbon dioxide, co2? answer?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
Carbon dioxide has a total of 16 valence electrons.

1. To determine the number of valence electrons of carbon dioxide (CO2), first determine the number of valence electrons of each of the elements in the molecule. 

a. We have 1 carbon (C) molecule, and 2 oxygen (O) molecules. 

b. The carbon molecule has 4 valence electrons and each oxygen molecule has 6 oxygen molecules. 

2. Add up the valence electrons of each of the elements

   4            +          (2 x 6)      = 16
(from C)           (2 oxygen molecules, with 6 valence electrons each)

Thus, CO2 has a total of 16 valence electrons. 

The number of valence electrons can be more clearly seen from the Lewis structure of the CO2 in the figure below (Source: http://chemistry.tutorvista.com/inorganic-chemistry/bonding-electrons.html). The the dots surrounding the letters represent the valence electrons.
