When monovalent cation (X) binds to divalent anion (Y) it will form

Chemistry

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]2 years ago

When a monovalent cation X binds to a divalent anion Y, a compound with the formula X_2Y would be formed.

A monovalent cation is an atom that has lost an electron. Hence, such cation has a single positive charge. A monovalent cation X will, thus, be X^+

A divalent anion is an atom that has gained two electrons. Such anion has 2 negative charge. Thus, divalent Y would be Y^2^-

Since Y is a divalent anion, it requires 2 electrons in order to successfully bind with another charged atom, a cation to be specific. Thus, two of  X^+ would be required to successfully bind  Y^2^-

   Y^2^- + X^+ + X^+ ----> X_2Y

How many oxygen atoms are in 8.20 g Na 2SO 4?
dusya [7]

Answer:

No. of atom =

no.of moles x avagardro's number xatomicity

= weight /molar mass x No x atomicity

=8.2/142 x6.02x10^23 x 4

=0.346 x 10^23(approximately)

Distinguish between atom molecules, and ions
NNADVOKAT [17]

Explanation:

Atoms are the smallest unit of matter that can't be broken down chemically. Molecules are groups of two or more atoms that are chemically bonded. Ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost one or more of their valence electrons and therefore have a net positive or negative charge.
