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

Chemistry

Alexandra [31]2 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

An oxide of phosphorus contains 56.4% phosphorus and 43.6% oxygen. It's relative molecular mass is 220. Find both the empirical
sladkih [1.3K]
Moles of P = 56,4g/30,974g/mole = 1,82 moles P
moles of O = 43,6/15,999 = 2,73 moles of O

converting to the simplest ratio:
For P : 1,82/1,82 = 1
For O : 2,73/1,82 = 1,5

1 P and 2 oxygens.
PO2 -> the empirical formula

Object A at 40.°C and object B at 80.°C are placed in contact with each other. Which statement describes the heat flow between t
alukav5142 [94]

Answer: The correct option is 2.

Explanation: Heat flow is defined as the transfer of energy from hotter object to cooler object when two objects are kept together at different temperatures. As the energy remains conserved, so the heat flow will take place until the equilibrium is attained.

In the above asked question, Object A is at 40° C and Object B is at 80° C.

Object B is at higher temperature, so the heat flow will take place from Object B to Object A.

Hence, the correct option is 2.
