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
First figure out how many grams must freeze and then convert the grams to moles.
<span>Hf = -334 J/g. Convert this to KJ/g by dividing by 1000. (There are 1000 Joules in a kJ). </span>
<span>Hf = -334 J/g ÷ 1000 J/kj = -0.334 kJ/g </span>
<span>Now, divide 100 kJ by -0.334 kJ/g (see how the units are lining up?) </span>
<span>100 kJ ÷ -0.334 kJ/g = 299 g </span>
<span>Now convert this to moles by dividing by the molecular weight of water (18.0g/mole). </span>
<span>299 ÷ 18.0 = 16.6 moles </span>
The property that determines an atom;s ability to attract electrons shared in a chemical bond is electronegativity. The correct answer is C.
