To determine: The correct option for the statement “Which would you expect to have a higher melting point: sodium chloride, NaCl, or aluminum oxide,
Answer:
The correct option for the statement “Which would you expect to have a higher melting point: sodium chloride, NaCl, or aluminum oxide,
Explanation:
Atom is basically neutral and possesses zero net charges. When there exists net charge on any atom, it is considered as an ion.
The ions containing opposite charges basically attract each other and generate the ionic bond. Ionic bonding occurs when electrons get transferred.
In NaCl, chlorine and sodium ions are present. In which the sodium contains
In
As the ions in
Thus,
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option for the statement “Which would you expect to have a higher melting point: sodium chloride, NaCl, or aluminum oxide,
