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.

What nuclide undergoes fission to form molybdenum-103, atomic number 42, tin-131, atomic number 50, and two neutrons?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is Pu, 234.

Explanation:

In the given case, let us consider the reactant as X. Now the mass number (balanced) on both the sides will be,

Mass of X = Mass of Molybdenum + Mass of Tin + Mass of neutrons

M = 1 * 103 + 1 * 131 + 2 * 0

M = 234

Now the atomic number (balanced) on both the sides,

Atomic number of X = Atomic number of Molybdenum + Atomic number of Tin + Atomic number of neutrons

A = 1*42 + 1*50 + 2*1

A = 94

The atomic number 94 is for the element Plutonium, whose symbol is Pu. Thus, the reactant is 234-Pu.
