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

A substance has a volume of 10.0 cm3 and a mass of 89 grams. What is its density?
Irina18 [472]
Remembering that
d = m ÷ v

d = ?
m = 89 g
v = 10 cm³

Therefore:

d = 89 ÷ 10

d = 8,9 g÷cm³
