Concept explainers
Pick the keyword from the given list: Compounds formed by an electron transfer process.
Answer to Problem AM
Explanation of Solution
The compounds formed by transfer of electrons between two or more atoms are called ionic compounds. The atom having one or more electrons more than the noble configuration in their valence shell lose extra electrons and the other atom having one or more electrons less than noble gas configuration gain that extra electrons meaning a transfer of electron from one atom to other occur such that each of them gains noble gas configuration and form bond. The bond formed is called an ionic bond and the compound formed is called an ionic compound.
The compound formed is called an ionic compound because gain or loss of electrons results in the formation of the ions, cation or anion. For example,
Conclusion:
Therefore, the word ionic compounds can be picked from the given list.

- Describe three steps to ionic bonding.arrow_forwardYou decide to have hot dogs for dinner. In the grocery store, you find that buns come only in packages of 12, whereas the hot dogs come in packages of 8. How can your purchases lead to having no buns or hot dogs left over? (How does this problem fit in with chemical bonding and other parts of this chapter?)arrow_forwardReferring only to a periodic table, give the number of covalent bonds expected for each of these representative elements: (a) H, (b) Ar, (c) F, (d) Si, and (e) P.arrow_forward
- What is absorbed during bond breaking but liberated during bond formation?arrow_forwardUse arrows to show the polarity of each bond in (a) BrCl and (b) NI3. (Hint: Use the general periodic trends in electronegativity.)arrow_forward1. Calculate the gram susceptibility using the formulae (equation 3). Assume C = 1.02, m0 = 0.8182 g, m1 = 0. 8717 g, R0 = -36, R1 = 94 and l = 2.0 cm. 2. If the temperature, T = 20oC, calculate the effective magnetic moment (μeff) using the formulae in the notes. 3. Compare the effective magnetic moment (μeff) for your sample with the spin only magnetic moment (μSO), calculated using the number of unpaired electrons on your metal ion (check your UG notes).arrow_forward
