1) Balanced chemical reaction: Cl₂ + 2NaI → 2NaCl + I₂.
Chlorine and iodine are diatomic molecules.
2) Balanced chemical reaction: 2NH₃ → N₂ + 3H₂.
Nitrogen and hydrogen are diatomic molecules.
3) Balanced chemical reaction: 4Na + O₂ → 2Na₂O.
Sodium in compounds has oxidation number +1 and oxygen -2.
The part of the atom that is involved in chemical changes is A. electron. The electrons that are in the most outer shells are called valence electrons which are easily removed or shared to form bonds. Valence electrons are related to the number of valence electrons
Electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is accepted by a neutral atom forming a negative ion. Chlorine has the higher electron affinity because it readily accepts an electron to become more stable. On the other hand, sodium have to give up an electron to complete its valence shell.
Answer:
Covalent bond.
Explanation:
It involves sharing electrons equally between both molecules.
