An ionic bond forms when atoms blank electrons

Chemistry

Answer:

An ionic bond forms when atoms transfer electrons.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed when atoms transfer electrons. (In contrast, covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons.)

There's a distinction between the two: when two atoms react to form an ionic bond, one atom would completely lose one electron, while the other would completely gain that electron. The atom that loses the electron becomes a positively-charged ion called a cation, whereas the atom that gains the electron becomes a negatively-charged ion called an anion.

For example, consider the reaction between a sodium \rm Na atom and a chlorine \rm Cl atom: \rm Na + Cl \to NaCl.

When the sodium atom and the chlorine atom encounter, the sodium atom would lose one electron to form a positively-charged sodium ion, \rm Na^{+}. The chlorine atom would gain that electron to form a negatively-charged chlorine ion \rm Cl^{-}.

These two ions will readily attract each other because of the opposite electrostatic charges on them. This electrostatic attraction (between two ions of opposite charges) is an ionic bond.

Overall, it would appear as if the sodium \rm Na atom transferred an electron to the chlorine \rm Cl atom to form an ionic bond.

In contrast, when two atoms react to form a covalent bond, they share electrons without giving any away completely. Therefore, it is possible to break certain covalent bonds apart (using a beam of laser, for example) and obtain neutral atoms.

On the other hand, when an ionic bond was broken, the result would be two charged ions- not necessarily two neutral atoms. The electron transfer could not be reversed by simply breaking the bond.

For example, when table salt \rm NaCl is melted (at a very high temperature,) the ionic bond between the sodium ions and chloride ions would (mostly) be broken. However, doing so would only generate a mixture of \rm Na^{+} and \rm Cl^{-} ions- not sodium and chlorine atoms.

Which of the following statements is true of glare control?
galina1969 [7]
The correct option is B. 
Indirect lighting refers to fixtures which direct the light upward to bounce off the wall or ceiling to light a room. This type of lighting is diffusely reflected and create less glare compare to direct lighting. Direct lighting usually direct the light downward, directly on to the surface below to provide illumination.

How are density and state of matter related to the physical properties of a substance?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Density by giving the object it's weight/volume. State of matter by giving its chemical substances and physical shape.

Explanation:

State of matter, (solid, liquid, or a gas) determines the main physical property of a substance. If it's a liquid, it would have an indefinite shape/physical appearance. If the object is a solid than the shape would have a definite shape/physical appearance. Density is defined as mass per volume which means the weight of an object divided by the volume determines the density of the object. You would have the volume (the amount of space an object takes up) and the mass (weight of the object) if you have the objects density.

To conclude, both density and the objects state of matter determine the physical properties of a substance. "Density the weight and volume, and the state of matter is the shape/chemical properties of the substance."

Hope this helps.

Sulfur and oxygen form both sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide. When samples of these are decomposed, the sulfur dioxide produce
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
To determine the mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur dioxide, we simply obtain the ratio of the mass of oxygen and the mass of sulfur produced from the decomposition of sulfur dioxide. All other values given in the problem statement above are just to confuse us that the question is a difficult one. We do as follows:

mass of oxygen per gram sulfur = 3.45 g / 3.46 g
mass of oxygen per gram sulfur = 0.9971 g O2 / g S

50.0 ml of 0.010m naoh was titrated with 0.50m hcl using a dropper pipet. if the average drop from the pipet has a volume of 0.0
creativ13 [48]

25 drops of acid is required to neutralize the 50.0 ml of 0.010m of NaOH in the experiment.

The equation of the reaction is;

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) ---------> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

We can use the titration formula;

CAVA/CBVB = NA/NB

CA= concentration of acid

VA = volume of acid

CB = concentration of base

VB = volume of base

NA = number of moles of acid

NB = number of moles of base

CB = 0.010 M

VB = 50.0 ml

CA = 0.50 M

VA = ?

NA = 1

NB = 1

Substituting values;

CAVANB = CBVBNA

VA =  0.010 ×  50.0 × 1/ 0.50 × 1

VA = 1 ml

Since the total volume of acid used is 1 ml and each drop contains 0.040 ml

The number of drops required is 1ml/0.040 ml = 25 drops
