What do cations and anions form?

Chemistry
1 answer:
melomori [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Cations (positively-charged ions) and anions (negatively-charged ions) are formed when a metal loses electrons, and a nonmetal gains those electrons. The electrostatic attraction between the positives and negatives brings the particles together and creates an ionic compound, such as sodium chloride.

Given LiCl, NaCl, KCl, MgCl2, and SrCl2, arrange the compounds in order of increasing lattice energy.
Oksanka [162]

Answer:-  KCl

Explanations:- Lattice energy depends on two factors, charge and size.

High charge and small size gives higher lattice energy where as low charge and bigger size gives lower lattice energy.

in LiCl, NaCl and KCl, the anion is same and also the charges for Li, Na and K are also same. The deciding factor here is the size of cations. Since the size increases as we move down a group, the order of size of these three atoms is Li<Na<K.

The order of lattice energy is exactly opposite as it's increases as the size decreases.

Now, if we look at magnesium chloride and strontium chloride then again the anion is common but the metals have higher charge as compared to the alkali metals(Li, Na and K). So, lattice energy values must be higher for these two compounds. If we compare Mg and Sr then size of Mg is smaller and so the lattice energy would be greater for this.

Hence, the increasing order of lattice energy is KCl .

What is the gram formula mass of Ca3(PO4)2
Georgia [21]
Mass Molar of Ca_{3} (PO_4)_2
Ca = 3*40 = 120 amu
P = 2*31= 62 amu
O = (16*4)*2 = 64*2 = 128 amu
--------------------------------------
Mass Molar of Ca_{3} (PO_4)_2 = 120 + 62 + 128 = 310 g/mol

Therefore: <span>What is the gram formula mass of Ca3(PO4)2 ?
</span>Answer: 310 grams
