Answer:
Ionic bonds hold charged particles in solid NaCl together, such that they are unable to move or conduct electricity.
Explanation:
Consider an electric current that flows through a conductor: charge moves in a uniform direction from one end of the conductor towards the other.
Thus, there are two conditions for a substance to conduct electricity:
- The substance shall contain charged particles, and
- These charged particles shall be free to move across the substance.
A conductor of electricity shall meet both requirements.
Now, consider the structure of solid NaCl . NaCl is an ionic compound. It contains an ocean of oppositely charged ions:
- Positive ions, and
- Negative ions.
Ions carry charge. Thus, solid NaCl contains charged particles and satisfies the first condition.
Inside solid NaCl , electrostatic attractions ("ionic bonds") between the oppositely charged ions hold these ions in rigid ionic lattices. These ions are unable to move relative to each other. As a result, they cannot flow through the solid to conduct electricity. Under solid state, NaCl is unable to satisfy the second condition.
As a side note, melting NaCl into a liquid breaks the ionic bonds and free the ions from the lattice. Liquid NaCl is a conductor of electricity.
Answer:
That iron atom is oxidized. It loses two electrons.
Explanation:
Compare the formula of an iron atom and an iron(II) ion:
- Iron atom: ;
- Iron(II) ion: .
The superscript in the iron(II) ion is the only difference between the two formulas. This superscript indicates a charge of on each ion. Atoms and ions contain protons. In many cases, they also contain electrons. Each proton carries a positive charge of and each electron carries a charge of . Atoms are neutral for they contain an equal number of protons and electrons.
Protons are located at the center of atoms inside the nuclei. They cannot be gained or lost in chemical reactions. However, electrons are outside the nuclei and can be gained or lost. When an atom loses one or more electrons, it will carry more positive charge than negative charge. It will becomes a positive ion. Conversely, when an atom gains one or more electrons, it becomes a negative ion.
An iron atom will need to lose two electrons to become a positive iron(II) ion with a charge of on each ion. That is:
.
- Oxidation is Losing one or more electrons;
- Reduction is Gaining one or more electrons.
This definition can be written as the acronym OILRIG. (Khan Academy.)
In this case, each iron atom loses two electrons. Therefore the iron atoms here are oxidized.
