Why doesn’t neon readily form an ionic bond?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Goryan [66]3 years ago

By definition of noble gases, neon does not easily form an ionic bond because it belongs to the group of noble or inert gases, so its reactivity is practically nil.

<h3>Noble gases</h3>

Noble gases are not very reactive, that is, they practically do not form chemical compounds. This means that they do not react with other substances, nor do they even react between atoms of the same gas, as is the case with diatomic gases such as oxygen (O₂).

The chemical stability of the noble gases and therefore the absence of spontaneous evolution towards any other chemical form, implies that they are already in a state of maximum stability.

All chemical transformations involve valence electrons, they are involved in the process of covalent bond formation and the formation of ions. Therefore, the practically null reactivity of the noble gases is due to the fact that they have a complete valence shell, which gives them a low tendency to capture or release electrons.

Since the noble gases do not react with the other elements, they are also called inert gases.

<h3>Neon</h3>

Neon does not easily form an ionic bond because it belongs to the group of noble or inert gases, so its reactivity is practically nil.

Atoms of neon do not lose or gain electrons of their outermost orbit easily. So they do not form ionic bonds.Neon do not form ionic bonds is that atoms of neon already have a stable octet in their outer shell.

5. In an oxyacetylene welding torch, acetylene (C2H2) burns in pure oxygen with a very hot flame. The reaction is: 2 C2H2 + 5 O2
gulaghasi [49]

11.375 g ethylene is consumed if 35.0 grams of oxygen is allowed to react and 7.875 ml of water will be produced when the 35.0 grams of oxygen is allowed to react.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

A mole is defined as 6.02214076 ×10^{23} of some chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others. The mole is a convenient unit to use because of the great number of atoms, molecules, or others in any substance.

According to the chemical equation for the combustion of ethylene, 5

moles of oxygen are required to react with 2 moles of ethylene, hence

m_{_C_2_H_2}  = 35gX \frac{1 mol}{(2 \;X\; 16)g } X \frac{2 mol}{(5\;mol )} X \frac{26g}{1 mol }

m_{_C_2_H_2} = 11.375 g

Similarly, 5 moles of oxygen are required as a reactant to produce 2 moles of water, thus

m_{_H_2_O} = 35gX \frac{1 mol}{(2 \;X\; 16)g } X \frac{2 mol}{(5\;mol )} X \frac{18g}{1 mol }

m_{_H_2_O} = 7.875 g

Given that the density of water is 1.0g ml^{-1}, therefore

Density = \frac{Mass \;of \;water}{Volume \;of \;water}

Volume \;of \;water = \frac{7.875}{1.0 g ml^{-1}}

The volume of water = 7.875 ml

Which acid-base pair will always undergo a reaction that produces a neutral solution? answer?
Vesna [10]
Strong acid on combining with strong base will always give neutral solutions. Consider the following example for the same

HCl            +                    NaOH           ↔             NaCl        +            H2O
(strong                          (strong
   acid)                             base)

In above case, the resultant solution is neutral in nature. 

On other hand, weak acid will react with strong base to form salt and water. But the solution will be basic in nature. Also, strong acid will react with weak base to form salt and water. But the solution will be acidic in nature

What mass of oxygen reacts with 4.62 g of magnesium to form magnesium oxide according to the following... 2 Mg O2 --&gt; MgO
Goryan [66]

Answer:

3.08 g of Oxygen .

Explanation:

2Mg      + O₂     =     2MgO

2 mole  1 mole

molecular weight of Mg = 24

2 mol of Mg = 48 g

48 g of Mg reacts with 32 g of oxygen

4.62 g of Mg will reacts with 3.08 g of Oxygen .
