Answer:

In ionic bonding,

atoms transfer

electrons to each

other. Ionic bonds

require at least one electron

donor and one electron

acceptor. In contrast, atoms

with the same electronegativity

share electrons in covalent

bonds, because neither atom

preferentially attracts or repels

the shared electrons.

Predict the formula for a compound made from X3 and Y3–.

PolarNik [594]

Well, a compound has a total charge of 0. So, it's electrically neutral. Since the X is 3+ and the Y is 3- they add to 0. Meaning no subscripts are necessary. Why don't you try a different combo?

Like:

A^3 and B^1-, to get a 3- charge you need 3xB^1- so the formula is AB3

Does this help?

Study the following reaction carefully. What classification should this reaction have? 4Al + 3O 2 2Al 2 O 3

nikitadnepr [17]

The reaction is a synthesis…

$4Al + 3O_2 \longrightarrow 2Al_2O_3\\$

… because two substances are combining to make one other substance.

$4\stackrel{\hbox{0}}{\hbox{Al}} + 3\stackrel{\hbox{0}}{\hbox{O}}_2 \longrightarrow 2\stackrel{\hbox{+3}}{\hbox{Al}}_2\stackrel{\hbox{-2}}{\hbox{O}}_3\\$

It is also a reduction-oxidation reaction because the oxidation number of Al increases from 0 to +3 and the oxidation number of O decreases from 0 to -2.
