An ionic bond forms when atoms blank electrons
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

An ionic bond forms when atoms transfer electrons.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed when atoms transfer electrons. (In contrast, covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons.)

There's a distinction between the two: when two atoms react to form an ionic bond, one atom would completely lose one electron, while the other would completely gain that electron. The atom that loses the electron becomes a positively-charged ion called a cation, whereas the atom that gains the electron becomes a negatively-charged ion called an anion.

For example, consider the reaction between a sodium \rm Na atom and a chlorine \rm Cl atom: \rm Na + Cl \to NaCl.

When the sodium atom and the chlorine atom encounter, the sodium atom would lose one electron to form a positively-charged sodium ion, \rm Na^{+}. The chlorine atom would gain that electron to form a negatively-charged chlorine ion \rm Cl^{-}.

These two ions will readily attract each other because of the opposite electrostatic charges on them. This electrostatic attraction (between two ions of opposite charges) is an ionic bond.

Overall, it would appear as if the sodium \rm Na atom transferred an electron to the chlorine \rm Cl atom to form an ionic bond.

In contrast, when two atoms react to form a covalent bond, they share electrons without giving any away completely. Therefore, it is possible to break certain covalent bonds apart (using a beam of laser, for example) and obtain neutral atoms.

On the other hand, when an ionic bond was broken, the result would be two charged ions- not necessarily two neutral atoms. The electron transfer could not be reversed by simply breaking the bond.

For example, when table salt \rm NaCl is melted (at a very high temperature,) the ionic bond between the sodium ions and chloride ions would (mostly) be broken. However, doing so would only generate a mixture of \rm Na^{+} and \rm Cl^{-} ions- not sodium and chlorine atoms.

An element has an atomic number of 30. How many protons and electrons are in a neutral atom of the element? A. 30 protons, 30 el
Minchanka [31]
Atomic number shows the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. If the atomic number is 30, then it has 30 protons. The question says it is neutral, so it must have the same amount of protons and electrons.

A is the correct answer based on this.

A calorimeter measures the Choose... involved in reactions or other processes by measuring the Choose... of the materials Choose
yuradex [85]

Answer:

heat; temperature; surrounding; insulated.

Explanation:

A calorimeter can be defined as a scientific instrument (device) that is designed and developed for measurement of the heat involved in chemical reactions or other processes, especially by taking the measurement of the temperature of the materials surrounding the process.

Basically, a calorimeter is insulated using materials with a very high level of resistivity, so as to prevent heat transfer to the outside of the device (calorimeter).

Some of the components that make up a simple calorimeter are; thermometer, an interior styrofoam cup, an exterior styrofoam cup, cover, etc.

Additionally, a calorie refers to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a gram of water by one degree Celsius (°C)
