Explanation:
You see, all these materials we see around us are composed of elements. These elements are unique in their own ways!
Some of them are able to attract tiny negative particles called electrons close to their positive interior called the nucleus. This positive interior is so designated because it contains a positive particle called protons which attract these electrons.
Now, elements are broadly divided into metals and non metals. Protons in metallic elements are less able to pull electrons than protons in non metallic elements. As a result of this, non metals are mostly electronegative because they pull electrons towards themselves while metals are mostly electropositive because they give away their electrons easily. Fork is composed of metallic elements.
Since metals give away electrons easily, they can conduct electricity since electrons are the same charge carriers in electric circuits.
Also, in elements, there is a conduction band and a valence band. Electrons occupy the valence band but also move into the conduction band. The gap between the valence band and the conduction band in nonmetals is large hence they do not conduct electricity. The gap between the valence band and the conduction band in metals is minimal hence metals conduct electricity.
So if you stick that fork into a toaster, electrons can flow right through the toaster circuit into your body and cause you to be electrocuted.
Sodium is in group 1 so it has 1 valence electron (one electron in its outer shell). Sodium will be looking to lose its one valence electron in order to become more stable. Chlorine is in group 17 so it has 7 valence electrons, and therefor only needs to gain one valence electron to attain noble gas electron configuration (become stable with 8 valence electrons, just like the noble gases in group 18 have 8). Because the chlorine atom is trying to gain one electron, and the sodium atom is trying to lose one, sodium will give up its one valence electron to chlorine and the two atoms will form an ionic bond. Because chlorine is looking to gain just one electron and sodium is looking to lose the same number, the ratio of chlorine atoms to sodium atoms will be 1:1, one chlorine atom per one sodium atom.
A solution is a homogenous mixture meaning it has a uniform appearance throughout. (example: salt water)
heterogeneous mixture is visibly composed of different things. (example: chicken noodle soup)
Answer:
Explanation:
number of moles = mass / molar mass
= 525 / 7+14+(3*14)
= 525 / 63
= 8.33 mol
