Ionic compounds are compounds that are formed together by a cation and an anion. A cation is an ion with a positive charge. For example, Na+ and Ca2+. An ion has a negative charge, like Cl- and OH-. There is a greater chance of forming an ionic compound when they have a great difference in electronegativity, the ability to attract electrons toward itself. In the periodic table, elements that are opposite to each other, more likely found in opposite sides, would be more apt to form an ionic compound. Example would be NaCl and CaCl2 or Ca(OH)2.
Answer:
54
Explanation:
Given symbol of the element:
I⁻
Number of electrons found in an ion with the symbol:
This is a iodine ion:
For an atom of iodine:
Electrons = 53
Protons = 53
Neutrons = 74
An ion of iodine is one that has lost or gained electrons.
For this one, we have a negatively charged ion which implies that the number of electrons is 1 more than that of the protons.
So, number of electrons = 53 + 1 = 54
The number of electrons in this ion is 54
<u>Given information:</u>
Concentration of NaF = 0.10 M
Ka of HF = 6.8*10⁻⁴
<u>To determine:</u>
pH of 0.1 M NaF
<u>Explanation:</u>
NaF (aq) ↔ Na+ (aq) + F-(aq)
[Na+] = [F-] = 0.10 M
F- will then react with water in the solution as follows:
F- + H2O ↔ HF + OH-
Kb = [OH-][HF]/[F-]
Kw/Ka = [OH-][HF]/[F-]
At equilibrium: [OH-]=[HF] = x and [F-] = 0.1 - x
10⁻¹⁴/6.8*10⁻⁴ = x²/0.1-x
x = [OH-] = 1.21*10⁻⁶ M
pOH = -log[OH-] = -log[1.21*10⁻⁶] = 5.92
pH = 14 - pOH = 14-5.92 = 8.08
Ans: (b)
pH of 0.10 M NaF is 8.08
Answer:
K loses one electron to CI
Explanation:
The lewis electron dot notation shows only the chemical symbol of the element surrounded by dots to represent the valence electrons.
We have atom of K with one valence electrons
Cl with 7 valence electrons
For an electrostatic attraction to occur, both particles must be charged. To do this, one of the species must lose an electron, and the other gains it.
This will make both species attain a stable octet;
Hence, K will lose 1 electron and Cl will gain the electrons.
