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
Adding an atom will increase the repulsion between existing atoms and lone pairs. Added atom will result in bond pair-bond pair and bond pair-lone pair repulsion. The magnitude of the lone pair-bond pair repulsion is greater than the bond pair-bond pair repulsion. The added atom will change the electron geometry and bring about a distortion in the molecular geometry.
4KO₂ + 2CO₂ → 2K₂CO₃ + 3 O₂
The two chemicals that have a molar ratio of 3:4 is in equation above O₂ and KO₂
<em><u>explanation</u></em>
The molar ratio is the ratio between the amount in moles of two compounds that are involved in a chemical reaction.
In the equation above the mole ratio is determined by examining coefficient ( <em>number in front of the formula</em>)
the coefficient of O₂ is 3 while that of KO₂ is 4 therefore the mole ratio of O₂:KO₂ is 3:4
