Ionic compounds are compounds that are formed together by a cation and an anion. A cation is an ion with a positive charge. For example, Na+ and Ca2+. An ion has a negative charge, like Cl- and OH-. There is a greater chance of forming an ionic compound when they have a great difference in electronegativity, the ability to attract electrons toward itself. In the periodic table, elements that are opposite to each other, more likely found in opposite sides, would be more apt to form an ionic compound. Example would be NaCl and CaCl2 or Ca(OH)2.
The question is improperly formatted.
What is the concentration of H+ ions in a 2.2 M solution of HNO3.
Answer:-
2.2 moles of H+ per litre
Explanation:-
M stands for molarity. 2.2 M means 2.2 moles of HNO3 is present per litre of the solution.
Now HNO3 has just 1 H in it's formula. HNO3 would give H+. So 2.2 moles of HNO3 would mean 2.2 moles of H+ per litre.
Answer:
that's because....
group 1 (e.g Na, K) those tend to lose one electron to gain noble gas electron configuration.
they can achieve that by just losing one electron from their outer shell.
as you go down the group 1, element gets bigger in size, which means there is more space between nucleus (which is in center of atom) and electron of outer shell. the more far away they are the less attraction force between them.
so its easier for potassuim to lose one electron than for lithuim.
so that means potassium will easily give up 1 electron to react with non metal or other element therefore it is more reactive than lithuim
but in case of non metal, the opposite happens but simple to understand.
as you go down the group 7 (halogen- Cl, Br, I) element will get bigger therefore force between nucleus and outer electron is getting smaller. they have to gain 1 electron in order to fill the outer shell (to gain noble gas electron configuration.)
as florine is more smaller in size than clorine it is more reactive because florine has more tendency to pull extra electron from metal or other element towards its side. so it easily gain 1 electron to react.
