Answer:

When a sodium atom transfers an electron to a chlorine atom, forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-), both ions have complete valence shells, and are energetically more stable. The reaction is extremely exothermic, producing a bright yellow light and a great deal of heat energy.

Which of the following measurements is equal to 2.3 dL?
Verdich [7]
2.3 dL = .23 liters. d=deci=10^-1 so you move the decimal place back once.

It's D because micro is 10^-6 (move the decimal place back 6 times) 230,000x10^-6=.23 liters or 2.3 dL.
