Explanation:
An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond in which occurs an electrons transfer, where one of the atoms act as a donor and the other act as the acceptor. Compound with ionic bonds are very stables and strong because of the attraction of the opposite charges. These attractions help ions stay together forming solid nets.
A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond in which the electrons are shared. Unlike the ionic bond, the atoms act at the same time as donors and acceptors sharing their electrons. The covalent bond keeps the atoms together because an electrostatic force, thus this bond is weaker than the ionic bond.
A metallic bond is a force which keeps together metallic atoms. In this type of bond, there is no transfer or sharing of electrons. The atoms are kept together because of an electrostatic force. Since there is no electron exchange involved a metallic bond is weaker than the other two.
In diamond, every carbon atom shared four electrons with other carbon atoms between a covalent bond. These form a regular tetrahedron. On the other side, graphite has a layer structure, in which every layer hold carbon atoms wich shared electrons with other tree atoms. All the layers stay together because of the Van der Waals force. These difference in bonds cause to have different properties, diamond is one of the hardest materials and graphite it is not.
Answer:
FeCl₃ + <u>3</u>NaOH → Fe(OH)₃ + <u>3</u>NaCl
Explanation:
You are given a skeleton equation, or unbalanced equation.
FeCl₃ + NaOH → Fe(OH)₃ + NaCl
<u>Count the number of atoms on each side</u>. If there is 1 atom, the subscript is not written. If the subscript to the right of a bracket, it belongs to each element in the bracket.
Reactants → Products
Fe 1 Fe 1
Cl 3 Cl 1 Not balanced
Na 1 Na 1
O 1 O 3 Not balanced
H 1 H 3 Not balanced
<u>The number of each element must be the same in the reactants and products.</u> We can see that Cl (chlorine), O (oxygen) and H (hydrogen) have different numbers.
<u>Write in coefficients in front of formulas</u> (separated by + sign). Coefficients multiply each subscript (or "1" if not written) in the formula. <u>Recount the atoms until you have equal reactant and product atom numbers.</u>
I see that I need more chlorine in my products. Multiply the formula that has "Cl" by 3.
FeCl₃ + NaOH → Fe(OH)₃ + 3NaCl
Reactants → Products
Fe 1 Fe 1
Cl 3 Cl 3 Cl is balanced now.
Na 1 Na 3 Not balanced
O 1 O 3 Not balanced
H 1 H 3 Not balanced
Fix the "Na" now. Multiply the formula with "Na" on the left by 3.
FeCl₃ + 3NaOH → Fe(OH)₃ + 3NaCl
Reactants → Products
Fe 1 Fe 1
Cl 3 Cl 3
Na 3 Na 3
O 3 O 3
H 3 H 3
Each side has the same number of each element. Therefore, this is balanced now.
Balanced formula:
FeCl₃ + <u>3</u>NaOH → Fe(OH)₃ + <u>3</u>NaCl
Most of them need 8 electrons
I believe the answer to this is A.
