Scenario Three Read the following extract: "Atmospheric ions are electrically charged particles which occur naturally in the atmosphere. They form in the upper atmospheric layers mainly because of the action of ultraviolet radiation from the sun, as well as in lower atmospheric layers as a result of radioactive radiation and cosmic rays. These cause ionisation of neutral molecules or atoms. As a result, ions are formed. These ions almost instantaneously combine to form molecules with ionic bonds." The extract mentions 'ions'. Explain what these are in tems of their electronic structure, and how this is different from an atom. The extract mentions 'lonic bonds'. Explain what these are, and how they form in terms of electron structure.

Write balanced chemical equations for each of the following descriptions of a chemical reaction. You do not need to include the phases of the reactants or products. IMPORTANT NOTE: Before attempting to balance the equations, you must first convert the compound names into the correct chemical formulas. If you begin to struggle with that, you may wish to go back to Chapter 4 and re-work naming problems. Calcium reacts with chlorine to produce calcium chloride.

We've spent quite a bit of time thinking about the interactions between atoms or molecules, one of which is called London dispersion forces. The stable interactions between two atoms we briefly discussed, in this case a covalent bond. We will explore more about this type of interaction in a minute. But let's say for now that it takes 348 kJ/mol to break 1 mole of C-C bonds (that is, 6.022 * 1023 C-C bonds). What would be the minimum frequency of a photon that could break a single (1) C-C bond? What region of the EM spectrum would this light be in? Enter your answer here
