Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Interpret the physical property of an ionic compound and interpret whether the ionic compound contained positive or negative charge ions.
Interpret the overall charge of an ionic compound.
Interpret that the ionic compound contains cation and anion.
Concept Introduction:
The periodic table consist of number of elements which are arranged according to
Some loses electron to become positively charged while some accepts electron to become negatively charged species and when these ionic species are combined together to form ionic compound which has high melting and boiling point.
The electrostatic forces of attraction are stronger in ionic compound.

- What are bus? How are ions formed from atoms? Do isolated atoms form ions spontaneously? To what do the termscationandanionrefer? In terms of subatomic particles, how is an ion related to the atom from which it is formed? Does the nucleus of an atom change when the atom is converted into an ion? How can the periodic table be used to predict what ion an element’s atoms will form?arrow_forward7.101 Lead selenide nanocrystals may provide a breakthrough in the engineering of solar panels to be efficient enough to be an economical source of electricity. Selenium is generally considered a nonmetal while lead is considered a metal. Is this distinction enough to suggest that this compound should be ionic? Explain your answer.arrow_forward1. Hydrogen is a Group I element and each hydrogen will contribute I valence electron. Carbon is a Group (Roman numeral) element and each carbon will contribute ___ (number) electrons. Every oxygen atom in a compound will contribute valence electrons. Chloromethane has the molecular formula . Its skeleton is and the number of valence electrons may be determined as follows. There are three hydrogen atoms, each of which contributes 1 valence electron; the single carbon contributes 4 electrons; and the single chlorine atom contributes 7 electrons, making a total of 14 . A convenient tabular form of this calculation isarrow_forward
