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.

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

Answer:

Option E, Half life = $2.96\times 10^3\ s$

Explanation:

For a first order reaction, rate constant and half-life is related as:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

Where,

$t_{1/2}$ = Half life

k = Rate constant

Rate constant given = $2.34\times 10^{-4}\ s^{-1}$

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$=\frac{0.693}{2.34 \times 10^{-4}}=2.96\times 10^3\ s$

So, the correct option is option E.

An electrochemical cell has the following standard cell notation.

icang [17]

The cell notation is:

$Mg(s)|Mg^{+2}(aq)||Ag^{+}(aq)|Ag(s)$

here in cell notation the left side represent the anodic half cell where right side represents the cathodic half cell

in anodic half cell : oxidation takes place [loss of electrons]

in cathodic half cell: reduction takes place [gain of electrons]

1) this is a galvanic cell

2) the standard potential of cell will be obtained by subtracting the standard reduction potential of anode from cathode

$E^{0}_{Mg}=-2.38V$

$E^{0}_{Ag}=+0.80V$

Therefore

$E^{0}_{cell}=0.80-(-2.38)=+3.18V$

3) as the value of emf is positive the reaction will be spontaneous as the free energy change of reaction will be negative

Δ $G^{0}=-nFE^{0}$

As reaction is spontaneous and there will be conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy it is a galvanic cell.

Explain the term "amphoteric"

Natali5045456 [20]

A substance either an ion or a molecule that can act either an acid or a base depending on a medium is called Amphoteric. Some metals like zinc, tin, copper and aluminium which produce either metal oxides or hydroxides are examples of amphoteric. During the Amphoterism, the metal compound acts either an acid or a base depending on their oxidation state.

the existence of a vacancy in a crystal decreases the energy of the material i. not enough information to determine ii. false ii

enot [183]

iii. True. The existence of a vacancy in a crystal decreases the energy of the material.

One of the scientific disciplines called crystallography examines how the atoms in a solid crystal are arranged. When molecules are linked together in a regular way, these crystals are created.

The mechanical, physical, and optical properties of a material can alter when crystal flaws are present. The strength of the material can be impacted by a flaw.

An irregularity in the atoms' regular geometrical arrangement within a crystalline material is referred to as a crystal defect. These flaws are caused by the solid being deformed, cooling quickly from a high temperature, or being exposed to high-energy radiation (such as X-rays or neutrons). because the vacancy cause defects and the crystal structure is disturbed this causes a decrease in energy.
