Describe why the atoms Na and Cl would form an ionic bond

Chemistry
2 answers:
Anettt [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

• This is because Sodium is a metal so it loses its one outermost electron to chlorine which is a non metal

Explanation:

An ionic bond is a bond formed between a metal and a non metal after sharing electrons in order to gain stability.

Answer:

Sodium is metal and Chlorine is a non-metal

Explanation:

An ionic bond is a bond between a metal and a non-metal and also when Na combines with Cl it forms a complete duplex structure making the compound NaCl stable

FeCl2 Express your answers as ions separated by a comma.
Katen [24]
In this item, it is assume that we are to express the dissociation of the formula unit given to be FeCl₂ into its ionic components. 

As seen in the chemical formula, the unit is composed of iron (Fe) and chlorine (Cl). The dissociation is written as follows;

     FeCl₂ --> Fe²⁺ + Cl⁻

This equation is balanced by multiplying the appropriate component with a number that would equate the number of atoms in both sides of the equation.

 <em>    FeCl₂ --> Fe²⁺ + 2Cl⁻</em>

Determine which of the following elements would gain electrons when becoming ions: I. Hydrogen II. Helium III. Sulfur IV. Fluori
klio [65]

Hydrogen, iron, and gallium is the correct answer. Hence, option B is correct.

<h3>What is an electron?</h3>

An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle.

Let us take another look at the periodic table. The periodic table is composed of metals, metalloids and nonmetals.

Metals lose electrons more easily, that is why they form cations. Metals are found on the left-hand side of the periodic table.

As we move away from the left-hand side of the periodic table, the ability to form cations decreases as metallic character decreases and elements become more nonmetallic.

The noble gas helium rarely loses electrons. Fluorine would rather accept an electron to form a negative ion.

Hence, the elements hydrogen, iron and gallium are metals hence they lose electrons more easily.

Hence, option B is correct.
