Answer: option D. triple bond and one lone pair
Explanation:
The atomic number (Z) of the 3 elements F, Ne, and Na, are 9, 10, and 11.
Explanation:
Now Z refers to the number of protons in the element's nucleus, and protons are POSITIVELY charged particles. So a fluoride ion, F−, has 10 electrons rather than 9 (why?), a neutral neon atom has 10 electrons, and a sodium ion, Na+, also has 10 electrons (why?).
So the 3 species are ISOELECTRONIC; they possess the same number of electrons.
You should look at the Periodic Table to confirm the electron number. Elements are (usually) electrically neutral (sometimes they can be ionic if they have lost or gained electrons). If there are 10 positively charged protons in the nucleus, there are NECESSARILY 10 electrons associated with the NEUTRAL atom. I don't know WHY I am capitalizing certain WORDS.
You might ask why sodium will form a positive ion, Na+, whereas F forms a negative ion, F−. This again is a Periodic phenomenon, and explicable on the basis of the electronic structure that the Table formalizes.
Neutral metals tend to be electron-rich species, which have 1 or more electrons in a valence shell remote from the nuclear charge. On the other hand, neutral non-metals have valence electrons in incomplete shells, that do not effectively shield the nuclear charge. The demonstrable consequence is that metals lose electrons to form positive ions, whereas non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions.
Answer:
Explanation:
A single replacement or single displacement reaction is a reaction in which one substance replaces another.
A + BC → AC + B
The replacement of an ion in solution by a metal higher in the activity series is a special example of this reaction type.
The relative positions of the elements in the activity series provides the driving force for single displacement reactions.
A double replacement reaction is one in which there is an actual exchange of partners between reacting species. This reaction is more common between ionic substances;
AB + CD → AC + BD
Such reactions are usually driven by;
- formation of precipitation
- formation of water and a gaseous product
Answer: (A) and (D)
Options (A) and (D) represent beta decay.
Explanation:
It is very simple to find beta decay in a nuclear reaction. In beta decay , neutron breaks down into a proton and an electron. After that electron is emitted from the nucleus,while proton remains inside nucleus. The resulting daughter nuclei will have one more proton and one less neutron.
Ionic bonding is formed in Ionic compounds due to electrostatic force between the oppositely charged ions.
In covalent bonds electrons are shared between the atoms. In case of ionic bond the bond is stronger as there is complete transfer of electrons from one ion to the other.
Since the ionic bonds are more difficult to break than the covalent bonds, ionic compounds have a higher melting point than covalent compounds.
