Answer:

The correct answer is "Electrons are transferred in an ionic bond"

Explanation:

The covalent bond is the chemical bond between atoms where electrons are shared, forming a molecule. Covalent bonds are established between non-metallic elements, such as hydrogen H, oxygen O and chlorine Cl. These elements have many electrons in their outermost level (valence electrons) and have a tendency to gain electrons to acquire the stability of the electronic structure of noble gas. The shared electron pair is common to the two atoms and holds them together.

An ionic bond is produced between metallic and non-metallic atoms, where electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another. During this process, one atom loses electrons and another one gains them, forming ions. Usually, the metal gives up its electrons forming a cation to the nonmetal element, which forms an anion.

In conclusion, chemical bonds are made so that atoms can have their entire outer layer, and thus have a stable electronic configuration. In the ionic bond, when the metallic atom has only one electron in its outer layer and the non-metallic one needs an electron to complete its layer; The metallic atom seats its electron to the non-metallic one. In the same way, the electron is shared in the covalent bond in order to achieve equilibrium.  

Then, the main differences between the two bonds are that the ionic bond occurs between two different atoms (metallic and non-metallic), while the covalent bond occurs between two equal atoms (non-metallic). And in the covalent bond there is an electron compartment, while in the ionic bond there is an electron transfer.

So, the correct answer is "Electrons are transferred in an ionic bond"

Answer:

In ionic bonds, an atom donates an electron to another atom to stabilize it. The electron spends more time with the bonded atom.

In covalent bonds, atoms bond by sharing electrons equally.

The volume of a sample of <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P_b" id="TexFormula1" title="P_b" alt="P_b" align="absmiddle" class=
murzikaleks [220]

Answer : The mass of sample is, 267.5 grams.

Explanation :

Density : It is defined as the mass of a substance contained per unit volume.

Formula used :

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Given:

Volume of Pb = 23.57cm^3

Density of Pb = 11.35g/cm^3

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the mass of Pb.

11.35g/cm^3=\frac{Mass}{23.57cm^3}

Mass=267.5195g=267.5g

Therefore, the mass of sample is, 267.5 grams.

What is the maximum pressure at which solid CO2 (dry ice) can be converted into CO2 gas without melting?
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The triple point of carbon dioxide is 5.11 atmosphere at -56.6 degree celsius . At pressure greater than 5.11 , solid carbon dioxide liquefies ,  as it is warmed. At pressure lesser than 5.11 atmosphere , it will go into gaseous state without liquefying . Excessive pressure helps liquification process.

So maximum pressure required is 5.11 atmosphere. Beyond this pressure , solid CO2 will liquify.
