An ionic compound is composed of ionic bonds that are formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. The atom that loses electrons acquires a positive charge (cation) while that which gains electrons acquires a negative charge.
In the case of sodium chloride; Sodium Na has 1 electron in its outer orbital while Chlorine Cl has 7 electrons. Thus, Cl requires 1 electron to complete its octet. This electron is donated by Na.
Thus, NaCl is essentially, Na⁺Cl⁻
Ans D) Chlorine becomes an anion by gaining an electron from sodium
Answer: In physics, potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.
Explanation:
The total energy required for this conversion is equivalent to the sum of the energies that are used. There are three steps:
1) Heating of liquid acetone
This used 628 J
2) Evaporation of acetone
This used 15.6 kJ or 15,600 J
3) Heating of acetone vapors
This used 712 J
Adding these quantities,
Total energy = 628 + 15,600 + 712
The total energy required was <span>16940 Joules of 16.94 kJ</span>
Flammability is a chemical change because when you burn something, it no longer has the same properties.
