Answer:

Ionic bonds form when atoms transfer electrons between each other, forming ions that are electrically attracted to each other forming a bond between them. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a typical ionic compound. The picture below shows both a sodium and a chlorine ion.

Explanation:

ionic bond

Because of the propensity of sodium to lose an electron and of chlorine to gain an electron, the elements are well suited to bond with one another. This transfer of electrons results in the formation of the ionic bond holding Na+ and Cl– together.

Answer:

An ionic bond occurs between sodium and chlorine where sodium has one electron while chlorine has seven electrons. The electron from sodium is lost and transferred to a chlorine atom which results in a sodium ion with a charge of one+ and a chloride ion with a charge of one-. These oppositely charged ions attract each other making a balanced charge to make a compound that is electrically neutral.. Sodium cation (Na+) and chlorine anion (Cl-) are attracted to each another to form sodium chloride (table salt). When dissolved in water, the sodium and chloride ions are strongly attracted to the polar water molecules because of ion-dipole interactions.

If the net force on a object is 375 N to the right, in what direction will the object move?

Viktor [21]

To the right
Because there is an unbalanced force in that direction

If 1.320 moles of CH4 reacts completely with oxygen, how many grams of H2O can be formed

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

47.5 g of water can be formed

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

Methane combustion.

In this process 1 mol of methane react with 2 moles of oxygen to produce 2 moles of water and 1 mol of carbon dioxide.

As ratio is 1:2, I will produce the double of moles of water, with the moles of methane I have.

1.320 mol .2 = 2.64 moles

Now, we can convert the moles to mass (mol . molar mass)

2.64 mol . 18g/mol = 47.5 g

How many moles of oxygen are produced when 29.2 g of water is decomposed according to H20 H2 + O2

Katarina [22]

8.1moles

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water to be decomposed = 29.2g

Unknown:

Number of moles of oxygen.

Solution:

To solve this problem, we first write the balanced reaction equation :

2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂

Now convert the given mass of the water to number of moles;

Number of moles of water = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Molar mass of water = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Number of moles of water = $\frac{29.2}{18}$ = 16.2moles

From the balanced reaction equation:

2 moles of water produced 1 mole of oxygen gas;

16.2 mole of water will produce $\frac{16.2}{2}$ = 8.1moles of oxygen gas

Fluorine has an atomic number of 9, how many electron shells does it have?

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

2 shells because if you do the electronic configuration:
2,7 which adds up to 9
7 stands for the group it in and it also stands for how many electrons are in the outer shell.
the amount of spaces stands for which period its in therefore it in period 2
