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.

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

Determine the root-mean square speed of CO2 molecules that have an average kinetic energy of 4.2 x10-21 J per molecule.

strojnjashka [21]

Determine the root-mean-square sped of CO2 molecules that have an average Kinetic Energy of 4.21x10^-21 J per molecule. Write your answer to 3 sig figs.

E = 1/2 m v^2

If you substitute into this formula, you will get out the root-mean-square speed.

If energy is Joules, the mass should be in kg, and the speed will be in m/s.

1 mol of CO2 is 44.0 g, or 4.40 x 10^1 g or 4.40 x 10^-2 kg.

If you divide this by Avagadro's constant, you will get the average mass of a CO2 molecule.

4.40 x 10^-2 kg / 6.02 x 10^23 = 7.31 x 10^-26 kg

So, if E = 1/2 mv^2

v^2 = 2E/m = 2 (4.21x10^-21 J)/7.31 x 10^-26 kg = 115184.68
Take the square root of that, and you get the answer 339 m/s.

Chemical changes involve the breaking and making of chemical bonds. The answer is always

larisa [96]

Answer:

Chemical reactions involve breaking chemical bonds between reactant molecules (particles) and forming new bonds between atoms in product particles (molecules). The number of atoms before and after the chemical change is the same but the number of molecules will change.

What combination of forces was the closest match? Why?

Virty [35]

Answer: COMBINED FORCES

When forces act in the same direction, they combine to make a bigger force. When they act in opposite directions, they can cancel one another out. If the forces acting on an object balance, the object does not move, but may change shape.
