How do you draw the Lewis structure of compound with an ionic bond

Chemistry
1 answer:
ohaa [14]3 years ago

Answer:

[Na]^+ [Cl]^-

Explanation:

Lets say its sodium, its number of electrons is 11, but when its stable (an ion), it is 10. and chloride, number of electrons is 17, but when its stable (an ion) it is 18. So the lewis structure for that is, remember with the straight brackets (not sure what it's called, but you know what I mean I guess) its this one: [ ]

Sodium will be + because it has more protons (11-10 = +1), and chloride will be - because it gained an electron, so has more electrons than protons (17-18 = -1)

So the lewis structure would be:

[Na]^+  for sodium

and

[Cl]^- for chlorine

Sodium chloride:

[Na]^+ [Cl]^-

Also just to add, only 1 of each atom (Na and Cl) was needed for the bonding, but if let's say example; 2 Cl was needed to bond with sodium, there would be 2 Cl (same) and 1 Na.

Write one effect of gravitational force of the sun and the moon on the earth.​
Darya [45]

Answer:

High and low tides are caused by the moon. The moon's gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the moon and the side farthest from the moon.

Why is respiration an exothermic reaction?
Degger [83]

Answer: A large amount of energy is released into the surroundings.

Explanation:-

Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and \Delta H which is difference between energy of products and energy of reactants come out to be positive.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and \Delta H which is difference between energy of products and energy of reactants comes out to be negative.

Thus a reaction in which large amount of energy is released is categorized as exothermic reaction and thus respiration is also a exothermic reaction.
