ionic compounds tend to form between metals and nonmetals when electrons are transferred from an element with high ionization energy (metal) to an element with a low electron affinity (nonmetal). true or false

Solutions

Expert Solution

The statement is false. Because always electrons will be transferred from metal to another non metal which should have high electron affinity.

Ionic bonds are forming when a nonmetal and a metal exchange electrons, which is formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal with high electron affinity.

Ionic compounds are formed from ionic bonds, whereby an electron is transferred from the metal cation to the nonmetal anion. Ions form solid lattices of ions. Covalent compounds form solids through the attraction of two covalent molecules. Since the attraction between two covalent molecules is weak compared to the ionic bonds holding an ionic compound together, ionic compounds tend to have higher melting points. Which of the following compounds has the highest boiling point? I2 NaI HI IBr

Gas phase transition metals, when ionized, lose their s-electrons first and the remaining electrons redistribute themselves in the d-orbitals (with some exceptions as discussed in class). To understand this phenomenon, calculate the Zeff for the 4s and 3d-electrons separately for the following atoms: Sc, Ti, V, Mn, Fe and Ni. On the basis of the Zeff, which of the electrons (4s or 3d) would be removed first? Ionize each of these atoms to their monopositive ions (i.e. Ti to Ti+...
