Question
Chapter 18, Problem 6RQ
To determine
The elements which have the tendency to form an ionic bond.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 6RQ
The elements that have high difference in the value of electronegativity usually show a tendency to form an ionic bond.
Explanation of Solution
An ionic bond is a bond present between ions. The atoms involved in ionic bonds must have a high difference in electronegativity. The atoms with low electronegativity have a tendency to give out electrons and generate a positive ion and the atoms with high electronegativity have a tendency to take up electrons and generate a negative ion. The positive and the negative ions tend to attract together by the special type of attractive electrostatic force and that generates an ionic bond between them.
The elements that have high difference in the value of electronegativity usually show a tendency to form an ionic bond. As the metals being electropositive are present on the extreme left part of the periodic table and can form a positive ion by losing an electron whereas the nonmetals are present at the right side of the periodic table and can generate a negative ion by gaining electrons.
Thus, metals and nonmetals tend to form ionic bonds.
Conclusion:
The elements that have high difference in the value of electronegativity usually show a tendency to form an ionic bond.

You propose to bounce laser light off a mirror that is 53.5 km due east and have it detected by a light sensor that is 119 m due south of the laser.
