Answer: In the chemical formula for water, the subscript for hydrogen is 2. Notice that the 2 is smaller and written slightly below the H and O. It is called a subscript because it is written ("script") "below" ("sub") the preceding letter.
Explanation:
Answer:
5 electrons
Explanation:
When an atom loses are gain the electrons ions are formed.
There are two types of ions.
Anion
Cation
1 = Anion
It is formed when an atom gain the electrons. when atom gain electron negative charge is created on atom. For example.
X + e⁻ → X⁻
2= Cation
It is formed when an atom loses the electrons. when atom lose electron positive charge is created on atom. For example.
X → X⁺ + e⁻
When an atom loses three electrons +3 charge is created. If this atom have 8 protons it means there were 8 electrons too. When it lost three electrons then remaining number of electrons are 5.
X → X³⁺ + 3e⁻
Explanation:
Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless basic solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The reaction continues even when the solution becomes basic. The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide.
Answer:
Ionic compounds contain ions and are held together by the attractive forces among the oppositely charged ions
Explanation:
Common salt (sodium chloride) is one of the best-known ionic compounds. Molecular compounds contain discrete molecules, which are held together by sharing electrons (covalent bonding).
