Why are ions usually formed during the interaction of metal with nonmetal and not between two metals?

1 answer:

Alik [6]3 years ago

7 0

Explanation:

Ions are always formed when metals and non-metals interact because metals are electropositive. They willing release electrons to non-metals that are electronegative.

This activity results in charge separation. The transfer of electrons from one specie to another is what results in an ionic bond and the precedence of charged particles.

Between non-metals, the electrons are jointly shared. Therefore, there is no charge separation.

5. A penny weighs about 2.5 g. How many moles of pennies would be required to equal the mass of the moon (7.3x10^24 kg)

schepotkina [342]

5. 1.16 x $10^{26}$ moles moles of pennies would be required to equal the mass of the moon.

6. 12.86 moles of ethanol are in a 750 ml bottle of vodka.

Explanation:

5 .Data given:

mass of penny = 2.5 grams

atomic mass of penny = 62.93 grams/mole

moles present in mass of the moon given as = 7.3 x $10^{24}$ kg

number of moles = $\frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}$

number of moles = $\frac{2.5}{62.93}$

0.039 moles of penny is present in 2.5 grams

0.039 moles of penny in 2.5 grams of it

so, x moles in 7.3 X $10^{27}$ grams

$\frac{0.039}{2.5} =\frac{x}{7.3 X 10^{27} }$

x = 1.16 x $10^{26}$ moles

so when the mass of the penny given is equal to the mass of moon, number of moles of penny present is 1.1 x $10^{26}$ .

6.

Given:

vodka = 40% ethanol

volume of vodka bottle = 750 ml

moles of ethanol =?

density of ethanol =0.79 g/ml

atomic mass of ethanol = 46.07 grams/mole

so, from the density of ethanol given we can calculate how much ethanol is present in the solution.

density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

density x volume = mass

0.79 x 750 = 592.5 grams

number of moles = $\frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}$

number of moles of ethanol = $\frac{592.5}{46.07}$

= 12.86 moles of ethanol

What is the wavelength of radiation that has a frequency

White raven [17]

Answer:

$\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu}$

Explanation:

The wavelenght of a radiation is inversely proportional to its frequency. It can be estimated by the following formula:

$\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu}$

Where:

$\lambda$ is the wavelenght
$\nu$ is the frequency
$c$ is the speed of light (arroung 300000 km/s)
