Which of the following happens when an ionic bond is formed? (1 point)

1 answer:

3 0

This problem is asking for an explanation of what happens when an ionic bond is formed. Although the choices are not given in the question, one can find them on the attached file and realize the answer is C "a less electronegative atom donates an electron to a more electronegative atom" according to:

<h3>Types of bonds:</h3><h3 />

In chemistry, the forces that hold atoms together are known as chemical bonds and act like connections for atoms to form compounds. There exist ionic and covalent bonds, so the formers occur when electrons are thoroughly donated from the least electronegative atom to the most electronegative one.

On the flip side, covalent bonds occur when the electrons are shared between the two or more of the atoms forming the compound. In such a way, one can discard choices A and B because they are more related to covalent bonds.

Therefore, one can select C "a less electronegative atom donates an electron to a more electronegative atom" as the correct answer, because not all the elements are able to donate more than one single electron, and the less its valency, the more ionic the compound turns out to be.

The molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 4.11 g of NaI in enough water to prepare 312 mL of solution is

Dimas [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is 8.79 × 10⁻² M.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the mass of NaI given is 4.11 grams. The molecular mass of NaI is 149.89 gram per mole. The moles of NaI can be determined by using the formula,

No. of moles of NaI = Weight of NaI/ Molecular mass

= 4.11 / 149.89

= 0.027420

The vol. of the solution given is 312 ml or 0.312 L

The molarity can be determined by using the formula,

Molarity = No. of moles/ Volume of the solution in L

= 0.027420/0.312

= 0.0879 M or 8.79 × 10⁻² M

1/ Which graph illustrates constant speed and velocity

Maksim231197 [3]

Velocity is said to be constant if its magnitude as well direction at any instant is remains the same. In D, if you draw a line parallel to y-axis at any time t, you can see that velocity is same. Hence, D is the correct graph.

The kinetic energy of gaseous molecules is greater than that of liquid molecules. Therefore, in gas, kinetic energy overcomes the force of attraction between molecules. In short, in gas phase, particles move at high speed and hence they have less force of attraction. In case of liquid phase, particles are close enough as a result there is much more force of attraction compared to gaseous molecules. In liquid state, kinetic energy cannot overcome force of attraction therefore, liquid molecules slow down.

Therefore, B is the correct answer.
