describe in your own words the structure of solid sodium chloride and explain why it is formula is NACL

Chemistry

sveta [45]3 years ago

Answer:

Sodium chloride is formed when sodium atoms interact with chlorine atoms. When this occurs, sodium will donate an electron (which is a negatively-charged particle) to chlorine. This makes sodium slightly positive and chlorine slightly negative.

Opposite charges attract, right? So then, sodium ions will attract chloride ions and form an ionic bond. By the way, chloride is the term used to designate the anion form of chlorine. The result is a crystallized salt that has properties that are different from the two parent elements (sodium and chlorine). The chemical formula for sodium chloride is NaCl, which means that for every sodium atom present, there is exactly one chloride atom.

State the functional groups that undergo cracking and substitution reaction.
omeli [17]

Unsaturated organic compounds with a carbon-to-carbon double bond and alkynes with a carbon-to-carbon triple bond, as well as aldehydes and ketones with a carbon-to-oxygen double bond, undergo addition reactions.

Predict the sign of the entropy change,Delta S, for each of the following reactions:The signs are either going to be pos or nega
algol [13]

Answer: a) Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s):  negative

b)  CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g) : positive

c) 2NH_3(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+3H_2(g): positive.

d) P_4(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow P_4O_{10}(s) : negative

e) C_4H_8(g)+6O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g):  positive.

f) I_2(s)\rightarrow I_2(g) : positive.

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.

\Delta S is positive when randomness increases and \Delta S is negative when randomness decreases.

a) Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s)

As ions are moving to solid form , randomness decreases and thus sign of \Delta S is negative.

b) CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)

As solid is changing to gas, randomness increases and thus sign of \Delta S is positive.

c) 2NH_3(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+3H_2(g)

As 2 moles of reactants are converted to 4 moles of products , randomness increases and thus sign of \Delta S is positive.

d) P_4(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow P_4O_{10}(s)

As gas is changing to solid, randomness decreases and thus sign of \Delta S is negative.

e) C_4H_8(g)+6O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)

As 7 moles of reactants are converted to 8 moles of products , randomness increases and thus sign of \Delta S is positive.

f) I_2(s)\rightarrow I_2(g)

As solid is changing to gas, randomness increases and thus sign of \Delta S is positive.

Goryan [66]
The process which has taken place is called CRYSTALLIZATION.
Generally, crystallization is the process by which solid crystals are precipitated from solution. Crystallization can also occur when a crystal melt or when a crystal get deposited directly from a  gas, although these cases are rarer compare to crystals forming from solutions.
