Answer:
True
Explanation:
Ionic bonds are formed by complete transfer of electronic from one to another atoms. The metals are electron donor and non metal are the electron accepter.
Consider the example of sodium chloride. Sodium is metal and chlorine is non metal. Sodium is present in group one and have one valence electron. It loses one electron and get stable electronic configuration.
While chlorine is present in group 7A and have seven valence electron. It require one more electron to complete the octet. Thus hen sodium and chlorine the electron lose by sodium is accepted by chlorine and form ionic compound.
The compound having ionic bonds generally have moderate to high boiling points and melting point because of greater electrostatic interaction. Their electrical conductivity are high and these minerals tend to dissolve in water.
Lewis structure cannot show the numbers of valences
Answer:
B. The rate constant is the reaction rate divided by the concentration
terms.
Explanation:
The rate constant can be determined from the rate law because it is the reaction rate divided by the concentration terms. I hope I could help! :)
Answer:
Explanation:
Isotopes are atoms of elements that have the same atomic number but different mass number hence ISOTOPY. Radioactive Isotopes on the other hand are unstable as they either undergo Alpha decay, beta decay or gamma decay compared to stable isotopes.
Radioactive elements decay at varyinf rates as such the rate of radioactive decay is used in the characterization of radioactive element and mostly expressed in terms of the half life of the radioactive elements.
Half life is the time taken for half of the total atoms of an elements to decay into half of its initial sizes. for example, the half life of radium-226 is 1622 years, it implies that if we have 1000000 radium atoms at the beginning, then at the end of 1622years, 500000 would have disintegrated. These phenomenon can never be experienced by stable isotopes as such they can not be used in carbon dating techniques. reason why uranium-238 is mostly and commonly used in the earth crust to estimate the ages of rocks because it has a half life of 4.5 x 10^9 years.
And also, the radioactive isotopes of most common light element are short, they have very short half life (few days or weeks) and they decay rapidly to vanshing point, as such, they are not found in nature to any reasonable extent.
