The mass of the atom is equal to the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. The atomic number meanwhile of an atom is equal to the number of protons of the atom.
Answer:
Earth's gravity is strong enough to hold onto its atmosphere and keep it from drifting into space.
<u>Ionic Bond</u> is formed when the electronegativity difference is 0.4 > 2.0. Electronegativity is a term that can be defined as a tendency of an atom to attract electron towards its own self.
Explanation:
Electronegativity is a term that can be defined as a tendency of an atom to attract electron towards its own self.
An electronegativity of an atom is affected by
- The atomic number of the atom
- Secondly by the distance at which the valence electron are residing from the nucleus
1. In case the electronegativity difference (which is denoted by ΔEN) is less than 0.5 then the bond formed is known as N<u>onpolar covalent.
</u>
2. In case the ΔEN is in between 0.5 and 1.6, the bond formed is referred to as the<u> Polar covalent
</u>
3. In case the ΔEN is more /greater than 2.0, then the bond formed is referred to as<u> Ionic Bond</u>
<u>2 Examples of Ionic bonds</u>
- The formation of sodium fluoride, NaF, from a sodium atom and a fluorine atom is an example of Ionic bond formation.
- Another example is the formation of NaCl from sodium (Na),which is a metal, and chloride (Cl), which is a nonmetal
Hey there
Thats easy
Precipitation occurs when cations and anions in aqueous solution combine to form an insoluble ionic compound called precipitation. So, you can refer to a solubility chart or draw polar/nonpolar lewis structures, that might be helpful.
Remember water is polar so polar molecules will dissolve in water
