Answer:
Explanation:
El hielo encierra la primavera antes de espolvorear la sal.
Cuando se rocía sal sobre el hielo, disminuye el punto de fusión del hielo 32 ° F a un poco por debajo de 32 °, por lo tanto, se acumula.
A medida que el hielo se vuelve a congelar, encierra la primavera
Sodium (NA)
the sodium atom is donating its 1 valence electron to the chlorine atom. This creates a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. Notice that the net charge of the resulting compound is 0.
Answer: Electronegativity increases as the size of an atom decrease.
Explanation: Electronegativity is the measure of the ability of an atom in a bond to attract electrons to itself.
Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group.
Towards the left of the table, valence shells are less than half full, so these atoms (metals) tend
to lose electrons and have low electronegativity. Towards the right of the table, valence shells are more than half full, so these atoms (nonmetals) tend to gain electrons and have high electronegativity.
Down a group, the number of energy levels (n) increases, and so does the distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital. The increased distance and the increased shielding weaken the nuclear attraction, and so an atom can’t attract electrons as strongly.
