Question

The representation below shows the formation of a chemical compound . If the atomic number of element A is 11 and of element B is 17 (i)Identify and name the elements A and B. (ii) Depending on the charge they carry differentiate between B and D (iii) Define the bond formed between A and B. (iv) Give a reason why electrons are not shared between A and B, during bond formation

Answer 1

Explanation:

1-A - sodium(Na),B- chlorine (Cl)

2-B - in b the chlorine atom does not get a negative charge and it is not stable but in position D they get 1 electron from sodium and get a stable confrigation.

3-the ionic bond form in A and B

4- because the sodium atom contain only 1 electron after donate a one electron they get a stable confrigation and get plus charge and chlorine atom get only one electron to stable and get a negative charge
