Ionic compounds are compounds that are formed together by a cation and an anion. A cation is an ion with a positive charge. For example, Na+ and Ca2+. An ion has a negative charge, like Cl- and OH-. There is a greater chance of forming an ionic compound when they have a great difference in electronegativity, the ability to attract electrons toward itself. In the periodic table, elements that are opposite to each other, more likely found in opposite sides, would be more apt to form an ionic compound. Example would be NaCl and CaCl2 or Ca(OH)2.
Answer:
Mass fraction = 0.08004
Mole fraction = 0.0377
Explanation:
Given, Mass of NaOH = 8.70 g
Mass of solution = 8.70 + 100 g = 108.70 g
= 0.08004
Molar mass of NaOH = 39.997 g/mol
The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:
Thus,
Given, Mass of water = 100 g
Molar mass of water = 18.0153 g/mol
The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:
Thus,
So, according to definition of mole fraction:
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
Al- [Ne] 3s²3p¹
As- [Ar] 4s²3d¹⁰ 4p³
Explanation:
- Electron configuration of an element shows the arrangement of electrons in the energy levels or orbitals in the atom.
- Noble-gas configuration involves use of noble gases to write the configuration of other elements.
- This is done by identifying the atomic number of the element and then identifying the noble gas that comes before that particular element on the periodic table.
- Aluminium: The atomic number of Al is 13. The noble gas before Aluminium is Neon which has 10 electrons. Therefore the remaining 3 electrons fills up the 3s and 3p sub orbitals.
- Thus, the noble-gas configuration of Al is [Ne] 3s²3p¹
2. Arsenic, Atomic number is 33
- Noble gas before Arsenic is Ar,. Argon has 17 electrons, then the remaining electrons fills up the 4s, 3d and 4p sub-orbitals.
- Thus, the noble-gas configuration of As is [Ar] 4s²3d¹⁰ 4p³
