Which of the following causes the formation of ionic bonds

Chemistry
1 answer:
pantera1 [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: b. One atom transferring electrons to another atom

Explanation: An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.

Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons between non metals

For example, In calcium iodide the one electron from calcium metal gets transferred to iodine atom and thus form an ionic bond to give CaI_2

Electronic configuration of calcium:

[Ca]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2

Calcium atom will lose two electron to gain noble gas configuration and form calcium cation with +2 charge.

[Ca^{2+}]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

Electronic configuration of iodine:

[I]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^5

Iodine atom will gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form iodide ion with -1 charge.

[I^-]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6

If you produced 76.10 grams of potassium chloride in the reaction how many grams of potassium were required?
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:39.8375

Explanation:

The mole for the equation is 1:1

Then the molar mass of KCl is 74.5g

Molar mass of k is 39

74.5g of KCl gives 39g of k

76.10g of KCl gives xg of k

X= 76.10×39/74.5

X= 2967.9/7

X= 39.8375

Assume the recommended single dose of an antihistamine for a child weighing between 18-23 lbs is 0.75 teaspoons (tsp). if 1.00 t
blagie [28]

We are given that 1 teaspoon is equivalent to 5 mL, therefore 0.75 teaspoon is:

0.75 teaspoon * (5 mL / 1 teaspoon) = 3.75 mL

 

So the mass is density times volume:

mass = (12.5 mg/5 ml) * 3.75 mL

<span>mass = 9.375 mg</span>

How many moles of xenon gas, Xe, would occopy 37.8L at stp
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The number of moles of  xenon are 1.69 mol.

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of xenon = ?

Volume of gas = 37.8 L

Temperature = 273 K

Pressure = 1 atm

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

Now we will put the values in formula.

1 atm × 37.8 L = n ×  0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K   ×273 K

37.8 atm.L =  n × 22.413 atm.L/ mol.

n = 37.8 atm.L /  22.413 atm.L/ mol.

n = 1.69 mol

The number of moles of  xenon are 1.69.
