oh its a Chlorine isn't it....

it's electronic configuration is

2,8,7

so to make it 8 in its outermost shell it should gain 1 electron...

true or false: ionic bonding involves the shareing of electrons, oxide ions have a 2+ charge , electrons have a negative charge
Elis [28]
Ionic bonding does not involve the sharing of electrons, that one is false. In ionic bonding, the metal's electrons are given to the non-metal, so that they're both like the nearest noble gas (full electron shells.) They are then drawn together because one has a negative charge (the non-metal) and one has a positive charge (the metal.)

Oxide ions have a 2+ charge: This is false, oxide ions have a 2- charge.

Electrons do have a negative charge, this is true.

Hydrogen molecule: pretty sure this is true. We know this because both atoms are non-metals.

The last one is true: a covalent bond is a shared pair of electrons between two atoms, however be aware that there can be more than one covalent bond between two molecules.

What controls the volumes of water in each cylinder once equilibrium is established?
netineya [11]

Equilibrium is a state of balance or a stable situation where the opposing forces cancel each other out and where no changes are occurring.

<h3>How to explain the equilibrium?</h3>

Your information is incomplete. Therefore, an overview will be given. In a chemical reaction, chemical equilibrium is a state where the reactants and products are present in concentrations that have no further tendency to change with time.

In terms of volume changes within a system at equilibrium, the following applies:

  • When there is a decrease in volume, then the equilibrium will shift to favor the direction that produces fewer moles of gas.
  • When there is an increase in volume, then the equilibrium will shift to favor the direction that produces more moles of gas.

In conclusion, if you increase the pressure of a system at equilibrium, the stress will be reduced by reaction that favors the side with the fewest moles of gas.

If the chemist mistakenly makes 250 mL of solution instead of the 200 mL, what molar concentration of sodium nitrate will the ch
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

0.120M is the concentration of the solution

Explanation:

<em>Assuming the mass of sodium nitrate dissolved was 2.552g</em>

<em />

Molar concentration is an unit of concentration widely used in chemsitry defined as the moles of solute (In this case NaNO3) in 1L of solution.

To find this question we must find the moles of NaNO3 in 2.552g. With this mass and the volume (250mL = 0.250L) we can find molar concentration as follows:

<em>Moles NaNO3 -Molar mass: 84.99g/mol-</em>

2.552g * (1mol / 84.99g) = 0.0300 moles NaNO3

<em>Molar concentration:</em>

0.0300 moles NaNO3 / 0.250L =

<h3>0.120M is the concentration of the solution</h3>

What does refractometer measure?
uranmaximum [27]
A refractometer is an instrument used to measure the refractive index of gases, liquids, and translucent solids like gemstones. Liquids are tested for things such as blood proteins, salinity, fluid concentrations, and specific gravity of urine.
