Define ionic bond and explain the formation of nacl and mgo

Chemistry
1 answer:
fomenos3 years ago
4 0

a.

Ionic bond is a bond in which there is complete transfer of valence electrons between atoms.

The atom that loses the valence electron is called the electron donor while the atom that accepts the electron is called the electron acceptor.

Ionic bond usually occurs between metals and non metals.

Ionic bond is a bond in which there is complete transfer of valence electrons between atoms.

b.

The force of attraction between Na⁺ and Cl⁻ forms the ionic bond.

  • In the formation of NaCl, Na has one valence electron in its outermost shell and Cl needs one electron to complete the stable octet configuration.
  • Na donates its valence electron to Cl to form the ionic bond. So, the Na atom becomes positively charged with a charge of +1 while the Cl atom becomes negatively charged with a charge of -1.

Since the atoms are now charged, the force of attraction between them forms the ionic bond.

c.

The force of attraction between Mg²⁺ and O²⁻ forms the ionic bond.

  • In the formation of MgO, Mg has two valence electrons in its outermost shell and O needs two electrons to complete the stable octet configuration.
  • Mg donates its two valence electron to O to form the ionic bond. So, the Mg atom becomes positively charged with a charge of +2 while the O atom becomes negatively charged with a charge of -2.

Since the atoms are now charged, the force of attraction between them forms the ionic bond.

A gas is at a pressure of 4.30 atm. what is this pressure in kilopascals? in mm hg?
Monica [59]
Units to measure pressure are as follows
atm - atmospheric pressure units
kPa - kilo Pascals
mm Hg - milimeters Hg
conversion units are;
 1 atm = 101 325 Pa
therefore 4.30 atm = 101 325 Pa / atm x 4.30 atm = 435.7 Pa

1 atm = 760.0 mm Hg
 4.30 atm = 760.0 mm Hg / atm x 4.30 atm = 3268 mm Hg

answers are 435.7 Pa and 3268 mm Hg
