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

Explain why alkanes can be described as hydrocarbons.
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

<h3>The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) defines alkanes as "acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2, and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms". ... The number of carbon atoms may be considered as the size of the alkane.</h3>

omplete the equation showing the reaction of octadecyl p−toluenesulfonate (CH3(CH2)16CH2OTs)with sodium butanethiolate (NaSCH2CH
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the temperature of a solvent increases, the solubility of any gas dissolved in that solvent decreases.

For example:

when the temperature of a river, lake or stream is raised high , due to discharge of hot water from some industrial process the solubility of the oxygen in the water is decreased .The fish and the other organisms that live in the water bodies such as rivers, ponds, lakes etc can survive only in the presence of oxygen and decrease in the concentration of the water due to increased temperature can lead to the death of the fish and this may in turn damage the ecosystem.

In the above example, water is considered as the solvent and the oxygen is considered as the solute. When the temperature of the solvent that is water increases, the solubility of the gas that is oxygen in the solvent decreases.

Therefore the answer is decreases
