Answer:
Cations are positively charged atoms and hence we need to make the atom positively charged in order to get a cation
We know that an atom is neutral as a whole, so we have equal number of electrons and protons
since we cannot mess with the number of protons in an atom, we have to do it by altering the number of electrons
If we reduce the amount of electrons in an atom, the net charge will be positive and hence a cation will be formed
A covalent bond is formed between two non-metals that have similar electronegativities.
An <em>i</em><em>o</em><em>n</em><em>i</em><em>c</em><em> </em><em>b</em><em>o</em><em>n</em><em>d</em> is formed between a metal and a non-metal. Non-metals(-ve ion) are "stronger" than the metal(+ve ion) and can get electrons very easily from the metal. These two opposite ions attract each other and form the ionic bond.
Answer:
Cyclopropane has a planar carbon back bone while propane does not
Explanation:
We have to recognize that in straight chain saturated organic compounds, carbon atoms have a tetrahedral geometry. Each carbon atom is bonded to four other atoms.
However, carbon atoms in cyclic compounds are also sp3 hybridized with each carbon bonded to only four other atoms but the ring system is highly strained.
Cyclopropane is a necessarily planar molecule with a bond angle that is far less than the expected tetrahedral bond angle due to strain in the molecule. Hence, the carbon atoms may have have a "planar backbone".
