The answer would be 2+ since the atomic number represents how many protons are in the element. In this case, there are 16 protons, but only 14 electrons, which means there are an additional 2 protons, hence the 2+ charge on the ion.

An ionic bond is a bond that forms between
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:  An ionic bond is a bond that forms between ions with opposite charges.

Explanation:

A chemical bond formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another is called an ionic bond.

For example, sodium has electronic distribution as 2, 8, 1 and chlorine has electronic distribution as 2, 8, 7.

In order to attain stability, sodium needs to lose 1 electron and chlorine needs to gain one electron. Therefore, sodium will transfer its one valence electron (forming Na^{+} ion) to chlorine atom (forming Cl^{-} ion) which leads to the formation of NaCl compound.

Thus, we can conclude that an ionic bond is a bond that forms between ions with opposite charges.

Janice is given a mixture of alcohol and water. The teacher tells her that she can use temperature to separate these compounds.
Rina8888 [55]
Hello!

The property that is being demonstrated when Janice was given a mixture of alcohol and water and her teacher told her that she could use temperature to separate these compounds is boiling.

The boiling point is the temperature when a substance goes from liquid state to gas state. If two liquid substances with different boiling points are in a mixture, they can be separated by heating one of them to its boiling point and condensing the gas in another container in a process called distillation. The difference in boiling points of alcohols (usually lower than water) and water allows to separate them in a mixture.

Have a nice day!

A certain radioactive isotope has a half life of one hour. I you start with 1.0 g of the material at 1:00 P. M., how many grams
geniusboy [140]

A certain radioactive isotope has a half life of one hour. I you start with 1.0 g of the material at 1:00 P. M. 0.5 grams will be present at 2:00 P.M. on the same day.

<h3>What is half Life ?</h3>

Half life is the amount of time required to reduce to one half of its initial value. The symbol of half life is t_{1/2}.

<h3 /><h3>How to calculate the quantity remaining when half life given ?</h3>

It is expressed as:

N_{t} = N_{0} (\frac{1}{2})^{n}

where,

N(t) = quantity remaining

N₀ = initial quantity

n = half life that have passed

Now put the values in above expression we get

N_{t} = 1.0\ g \times (\frac{1}{2})^{1}

     = \frac{1}{2} g

      = 0.5 gram

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that A certain radioactive isotope has a half life of one hour. I you start with 1.0 g of the material at 1:00 P. M. 0.5 grams will be present at 2:00 P.M. on the same day.
