Explain how and the type of a bond that forms between sodium and chlorine in sodium chloride (NaCl)

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alexandra [31]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Sodium has 1 electron in its outermost shell, and chlorine has 7 electrons. It is easiest for sodium to lose its electron and form a +1 ion, and for chlorine to gain an electron, forming a -1 ion.

<em>Now ionic bonds areIons are formed by atoms that have non-full outermost electron shells in order to become more like the noble gases in Group 8 of the Periodic Table,</em>

<em>Now ionic bonds areIons are formed by atoms that have non-full outermost electron shells in order to become more like the noble gases in Group 8 of the Periodic Table,Some atoms add electrons to get a full shell, thus becoming a negative ion. Other atoms subtract electrons from their outermost shell, leaving a full </em><em>shell and an overall positive charge..</em>

<em>shell and an overall positive charge..therefore it is an</em> ionic bond

Write a transmutation nuclear equation that represents an example of fission
morpeh [17]

Answer:

²³⁸₉₂U →  ²³⁴₉₀Th  + ⁴₂He

Explanation:

Nuclei higher than Bi - 92 naturally are radioactive.

In a transmutation reaction, a new element is produced from an existing one due to radioactivity.

Nuclear fission is the radioactive process by which a heavy nucleus spontaneously decays into lighter ones with the release of a large amount of energy.

 One example is the transmutation of uranium into thorium;

         ²³⁸₉₂U →  ²³⁴₉₀Th  + ⁴₂He
