Answer:
d
ionic bond is formed when there is transfer of electrons and is composed of a positive cation and a negative anion
Answer:
d orbitals
Explanation:
Transition metals are generally known as d-block elements. The electronic configuration of all transition elements finish in a d-orbital weather they are first row, second row or third row transition elements. This is the thread that holds all the elements of the transition series together.
This is why elements of the transition series are generally called the d-block elements.
Answer:
Explanation:
3. The number of electrons and neutrons in an atom are 13 and 14, respectively. Find out the mass number, atomic number, valency, and symbol of the element.
For a neutral atom. number of protons =number of electrons=13
so since atomic number is the number of protons =13
mass number = protons + neutons =14+13 = 27
atomic number 13 is Aluminum (AL-(see periodic table)
The electronic structure for 13 electrons is 1s2s2p63s23p1
so Al has 3 electrons which are VALIENT and can react and when it loses the 3 it will have CHARGE OF +3
Answer:
<span>Carbon readily forms covalent bonds with other carbon atoms.
Explanation:
As we know approximately more than 95 % compounds, either isolated, discovered or synthesized belongs to organic compounds containing carbon atoms.
This great diversity of organic compounds is due to following facts.
1) Catenation:
Carbon has a peculiar behavior of self linkage. This self linkage of one carbon with another is called as catenation. In this way carbon can form a long chain of carbon atom. A branching can also take place when one carbon is bonded further to three of four carbon atoms.
2) Isomerism:
Secondly the carbon containing compounds show isomerism. In which molecular formula is same but structural formula is different. For example molecular formula C</span>₅H₁₂ can make following compounds,
a) n-Pentane
b) 2-Methylbutane
c) 2,2-Dimethylpropane
3) Multiple Bonds:
Carbon can form multiple bonds i.e double bond like in alkenes and triple bonds like in alkyne.
Due to these factors carbon gets very high number of opportunities to form large number of compounds.
