Answer:
Ionic bond is formed by the opposite ions attraction between the 2 atoms in an ionically bonded compound. The two ions i.e. Cation and Anions are formed by oxidation and reduction reactions respectively. General Ionic formula is as follow,
Mⁿ⁺ + Nⁿ⁻ → MN
where;
Mⁿ⁺ = Cation
Nⁿ⁻ = Anion
MN = Salt
Explanation:
Ionic bond is the electrostatic forces of attraction between positively charged cations and negatively charged Anions. These forces are very stronger resulting in increasing several physical properties of Ionic compounds like melting point and boiling point e.t.c.
Example:
Sodium Chloride:
NaCl is formed by Na⁺ cation and Cl⁻ anion as follow,
Oxidation of Na;
2 Na → 2 Na⁺ + 2 e⁻
Reduction of Cl₂;
Cl₂ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Cl⁻
Crystal Lattice formation is as follow,
Na⁺ + Cl⁻ → NaCl
3Si + 2N2 --> Si3N4 (as given)
n(Si) = m/MM = 38.25/28.085 = 1.3619 mol
n(N2) = 14.33/2*14.007 = 0.5115 mol
Therefore, N2 is limiting and Si is in excess
The molar ratio of 2N2:Si3N4 is 2:1
So, 0.0575 mol of silicon nitride is formed (dividing 0.5115 by 2)
m of silicon nitride= n*mm = 0.0575*140.283 = 8.06627... g
= 8.066g (4 significant figures)
(hopefully it is right, but double check in case i did something wrong) :)
Answer:
i want to say nuclues but again i also think that it is electron shells
It is important to use low flame when evaporating water from a recovered filtrate because then the water and filtrate will not spatter and the filtrate can also be recovered after evaporating water.
If flame is not low then water as well as got spatter so it is important to use low flame so that the water and filtrate will not spatter.
