Question

1. In ionic bonding, during the transfer of electrons between two neutrally charged atoms, one electron moves from one atom to another. What are the new relative charges between the two atoms? a. The giving atom and receiving atom are both negatively charged. b. The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged. c. The giving and receiving atom are both positively charged. d. The giving atom is now negatively charged and the receiving atom is now positively charged.

2. Anions are __________ charged because they have _____________ electrons: a. Negatively – lost b. Positively – lost c. Positively – gained d. Negatively – gained

Explanation / Answer

1)

answer : b. The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged.

explanation:

suppose NaCl

Na will loose electrons . so it is Na+

and Cl will gain electrons so it si Cl-

2)   answer : d. Negatively – gained

reason:

anion gain electrons

and

cations lost electrons
