Why does an ionic bond transfer electrons instead of sharing?

Chemistry

The modern definition of electronegativity is due to Linus Pauling. It is the power of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself.

When the electronegativity difference between the two atoms is greater than 2.0, the bond is considered ionic; i.e. there is complete transfer (between the two atoms) of the electrons in the bond. The electronegativity (according to Pauling scale) of chlorine is 3.0, while the electronegativity of sodium is 0.9.

So, electrons are transferred because of a larger electronegativity difference.

The solubility of silver sulfate (Ag2SO4), in moles per liter, can be expressed in terms of the resulting ion concentrations. Wh
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Solubility = [SO₄²⁻]

Explanation:

Solubility of Ag₂SO₄ can be determined by its ksp equilibrium:

Ag₂SO₄(s) ⇄ SO₄²⁻ + 2Ag⁺

<em>Where 1 mole of silver sulfate dissolves producing 1 mole of sulfate ion and 2 moles of silver ion.</em>

Solubility is defined as the amount of solid that can be dissolved per liter of solution.

The moles of Ag₂SO₄ dissolved are equal to moles of SO₄²⁻.

That means:

<h3>Solubility = [SO₄²⁻]</h3>

A marble rolls off horizontally from the edge of table top 1.50 m above the floor. it strikes the floor 2.0 m from the base of t
GrogVix [38]

a. t=0.553 s

b. vox(horizontal speed) = 3.62 m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

h = 1.5 m

x = 2 m

Required

a. time

b. vo=initial speed

Solution

Free fall motion

a. h = 1/2 gt²(vertical motion=h=voyt+1/2gt²⇒voy = 0)

\tt t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g} }

t = √2h/g

t = √2.1.5/9.8

t=0.553 s

b. x=vox.t(horizontal motion)

\tt x=v_{ox}\times t

vox=x/t

vox=2/0.553

vox=3.62 m/s

NEED ASAP THANK YOU!
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

d. 10

Explanation:

The 24 means the atomic mass and twelve means the number of electrons. You subtract the number of electrons from the atomic mass. 24-12=12

Then, since there's +2, you subtract 2 from 12 which equals 10 which means there are 10 electrons now.

The confusing thing is that + means subtract and - means add here.

Hope this helps.
