What is the relationship between chlorine-35 and chlorine-37?
They are both atoms, both isotopes, and both have 17 protons :)
What is the relationship between bonds and electronegativity?
If the electronegativity difference between the two atoms is above 1.7, then ionic bond is formed and if the difference is below 1.7, then covalent bond is formed.
What is the relationship between state and law?
Distinguish between a public law relationship and a private law relationship.
What is the relationship between ethics?
What is the relationship between ethics and WHAT? You need at least two things to have a relationship.
What was the relationship between the brothers?
a relationship between brothers should be sacred and good....
What conclusions can we make about the size of cations neutral atoms and anions?
Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.
What is invovled in redox reactions?
A transfer of electrons between two distinct chemical entities. One of the simplest examples is a single displacement, for example, elemental iron atoms transfer electrons to silver cations, changing the silver cations to elemental silver and the iron atoms to cations.
What are ions and ionic bonds?
Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons. Positively charged cations are formed when atoms lose electrons. Negatively charged anions are formed when atoms gain electrons. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions.
Do in ionic bonding atoms loose or gain electrons?
Actually both. Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions whereas when atoms lose electrons positively charged cations are formed. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions
How does a cation form?
Cations form when atoms lose electrons, they gain a positive charge as a result.
What is the different and what is the same between an atom and an element?
Atom is neutral while cation is positively charged so cations have less electrons than corresponding atoms, another difference is that cations are always smaller in size as compare to their respective atoms.
What is the relationship between atoms in a ionic bond?
Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. These ions represent atoms that have lost one or more electron (known as cations) and atoms that have gained one or more electrons (known as an anions). In the simplest case, the cation is a metal atom and the anion is a nonmetal atom.
Does metallic bonding occur between atoms of copper or chlorine?
Metallic bonding occurs between copper atoms. Only copper is a metal and has the characteristics needed for metallic bonding. Metallic bonding occurs between atoms with low electronegativities (low tendency to attract electrons from other atoms) and low ionisation energies (little energy required to remove electrons from the atoms). The low tendency for the metallic atoms to keep their electrons allow their electrons to be shared between the atoms, which thus become cations. The cations tend to be very closely-packed; they are not repulsed by their similar positive charges, but attracted to the electrons flowing freely between the cations. Metallic bonding therefore occurs between copper atoms, which have low electronegativity and ionisation energy. Chlorine atoms have some of the highest electronegativity and ionisation energy of all elements, and thus do not exhibit metallic bonding.
What is the relationship between the amount of energy needed to separate the atoms in a compound and the strength of the bond between atoms in that compound?
It is a direct relationship. Stronger bonds between atoms require more energy to break.
How do the sizes of cations and anions relate to the atoms they form from?
Cations are formed when atoms lose electrons and hence are smaller in size than the corresponding atoms. Anions are formed when atoms gain electrons and hence are larger in size than the corresponding atoms.
What is interstitial alloy?
An alloy made up of different sizes. Smaller cations can fit into spaces between the larger atoms
What group is cations in?
Only chemical elements are placed in the periodic table; cations are positive charged atoms.
