Chemistry
1 answer:
Morgarella [4.7K]2 years ago

Answer:  An ionic bond is a bond that forms between ions with opposite charges.

Explanation:

A chemical bond formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another is called an ionic bond.

For example, sodium has electronic distribution as 2, 8, 1 and chlorine has electronic distribution as 2, 8, 7.

In order to attain stability, sodium needs to lose 1 electron and chlorine needs to gain one electron. Therefore, sodium will transfer its one valence electron (forming Na^{+} ion) to chlorine atom (forming Cl^{-} ion) which leads to the formation of NaCl compound.

Thus, we can conclude that an ionic bond is a bond that forms between ions with opposite charges.

An atom of sodium-23 (Na-23) has a net charge of +1. Identify the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom. Then,
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Number of proton is 11

Number of neutrons is 12

Number of electrons is 10

Explanation:

For a neutral Na, Sodium atom:

The mass number P+N = 23

Atomic number(E or P) = 11

A charged Na atom that has lost an electron is positively charged and so:

Number of proton = 11 (Still the same)

Number of neutrons = 12

Number of electrons = 11-1=10 (the atom has lost an electron)

If an atom loses electron, it becomes positively charged ie P>E

I In a smaller room, such as a bathroom, the reflected sound can reverberate (echo in many directions) off the smooth tile. Why
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

It is common knowledge that quite a number of people enjoy singing in the shower. There are reasons for this!

In the shower, there are many surfaces that reflect the sound of your voice as you sing. That makes your voice to sound more powerful and have more  volume.

The reverberation of the sound makes the sound of your voice stronger and more intense altogether enriching the music produced as you sing.
