Answer:

Q= Magnesium R= Chlorine

Explanation:

The element Q should be magnesium and R is chlorine.

An ionic compound is a compound that is formed by the combination of a metal and non-metal. Such bonds forms when there is a transfer of electrons from the metals to the non-metals. This leaves a net positive charge on the metal and a negative charge on the non-metal.

The electrostatic attraction leads to the formation of the bond.

To solve this problem, the hypothetical compound is QR₂

Mg Cl

2 8 2 2 8 7

So, Mg transfers 2 electrons to two atoms of chlorine.

This leads to the formation of the compound MgCl₂

Oxygen is a __________ and nitrogen is a __________. metalloid, metalloid nonmetal, metal nonmetal, nonmetal nonmetal, metalloid

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

"nonmetal, nonmetal"

Explanation:

Oxygen is a non metal and Nitrogen is a non metal. It is 8th element of the periodic table. It is located in period 2 and group 16.

Nitrogen lies at the group 15 of the periodic table. Its atomic no is 7. Its valency is 2.

Hence, the correct option is (c) "nonmetal, nonmetal".

Raw materials used in the manufacturing of indigenous soap

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Fat

Alkali

Explanation:

Fat and alkali are the two primary raw materials needed to manufacture soap.

Sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide is generally used as an alkali. The use of alkali depends on the intended application of the soap.

Raw animal fat was used in the past but these days, processed fat is used in the soap manufacturing process. Vegetable fats ( e.g, palm oil, olive oil, coconut oil) are also being used in soap manufacturing.

Additives are also used to enrich the color and texture of the soap.

Name two compounds with more exothermic lattice energies than scandium oxide and justify your choice.

N76 [4]

Answer:

1 . $Al_2O_3$

2. $TiO_2$

Explanation:

The more stable the ionic compound, the more is it lattice energy.

The more the charge on the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.
The less the size of the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.

Scandium oxide ( $Sc_2O_3$ ) is an oxide in which $Sc^{3+}$ behaves as cation and $O^{2-}$ behaves as anion.

The compounds which has higher lattice energy than scandium oxide are:

1 . $Al_2O_3$

This is because the charge are same on the cation and the anion as in the case of the Scandium oxide but the size of the cation $Al^{3+}$ is smaller than $Sc^{3+}$ . Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.

2. $TiO_2$

This is because the charge on the cation $Ti^{4+}$ is greater than that of $Sc^{3+}$ and also the size of the cation $Ti^{4+}$ is smaller than $Sc^{3+}$ . Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.
