Answer: Ionic bonds form only between metals and nonmetals. That's because metals “want” to give up electrons, and nonmetals “want” to gain electrons. It takes energy to remove valence electrons from an atom and form a positive ion. Energy is released when an atom gains valence electrons and forms a negative ion

What is the mass of 2.23 x 1023 atoms of sulfur?
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

11.9 g S

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chem</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.
  • Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

2.23 × 10²³ atoms S

<u>Step 2: Define conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

Molar Mass of S - 32.07 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Dimensional Analysis</u>

<u />2.23 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ S(\frac{1 \ mol \ S}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ S} )(\frac{32.07 \ g \ S}{1 \ mol \ S} ) = 11.8758 g S

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules.</em>

11.8758 g S ≈ 11.9 g S
