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

Chemistry
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.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Esterification reaction

Explanation:

An esterification reaction is an organic reaction involving an organic acid and an alkanol to give an ester or an ethanoate and water

Like the name suggests, an ester is the product formed in an esterification reaction alongside water. It is like a neutralization reaction but this time it solely contains organic molecules. These molecules react with each other to give rise to another organic molecule which is a member of a different homologous series.

Practically, to form ethyl ethanoate, ethanoic acid react with ethanol in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid which catalyses the reaction.
