Chapter 3, Problem 61A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given chemical reaction needs to be labeled correctly.

Concept introduction:

Atom- is the smallest unit of the matter and it consists of three subatomic particles.

Element- an element is consists only one type of atoms.

Compound- when two or more than two different elements are combined together they form a compound.

Ion- when the electron transfer takes place in an atom, it is termed as ion.

Answer to Problem 61A

In the given reaction the sodium and chlorine atoms are present in their element state, and forming an ionic compound$\text{NaCl}$ .

Explanation of Solution

  

From the given figure following point are comes out-

In any chemical reaction left side substances are reactant and right side substances are product.

The first diagram is showing the sodium element which is consists of sodium atoms and it is solid, where in second chlorine gas is present, the atoms of chlorine are scattered form so it consider as gas.

The sodium and chlorine are combined together and form an ionic compound $\text{NaCl}$ where the sodium and chlorine are present in ${\text{Na}}^{\text{+}}$and ${\text{Cl}}^{\text{-}}$ ionic form.

Conclusion

The chemical reaction started with the reactant and converted into product. The arrangement or position of atoms explains the element present in solid, liquid or gaseous state.

In the given reaction, the sodium and chlorine atoms are present in their elemental state, and form an ionic compound $\text{NaCl}$ .
