describe the formation of the compound: aluminum oxide, carbon tetrachloride, sodium carbonate, ammonium sulphate, calcium oxide
Answers
Answer:
formation of compound
aluminium oxide :we need two atoms of aluminum and 3 atoms of oxygen to form aluminium oxide
it is an ionic bond as aluminum is a metal and oxygen is a non metal ,therefore aluminium oxide is a ionic compound
two atoms of aluminum loses three electrons to chlorine to attain it's stability
3 atoms of oxygen gains two electrons each from two atoms of aluminum
carbon tetrachloride
it is a covalent bond
atom of carbon needs four electrons to attain stability
atom of chlorine needs one electron to attain stability
so carbon and chlorine share there electrons and form carbon tetrachloride
sodium carbonate
sodium electronic configuration =2,8,1
carbon=2,4
oxygen =2,6
2 atoms of sodium and 3 oxygen atom and one carbon atom forms sodium carbonate
ammonium sulphate
(NH4)2SO4
two atoms of nitrogen
8 atoms of hydrogen
1 atom of sulphur
4 atoms of oxygen
forms ammonium sulphate
calcium oxide
calcium electronic configuration =2,8,8,2
oxygen =2,8,6
calcium loses two electrons to oxygen and attains its stable electronic configuration
oxygen gains two electrons from calcium and attains it's stable electronic configuration
thereby it forms calcium oxide
