Q:

Which two atoms form an ionic bond?

Answer

Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bond in which valence electrons are lost from one atom and gained by another.. This bond generates two oppositely charged ions.


In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.


 


Example ::


One example of an ionic bond is the formation of sodium fluoride, NaF, from a sodium atom and a fluorine atom. In this reaction, the sodium atom loses its single valence electron to the fluorine atom, which has just enough space to accept it. The ions produced are oppositely charged and are attracted to one another due to electrostatic forces.

Q:

three_resistors_are_arranged_in_a_circuit_as_shown_above1559105724.PNG image

Three resistors are arranged in a circuit as shown above. The battery has an unknown but constant emf ε and a negligible internal resistance.

Now, determine the equivalent resistance of the three resistors.

A) 12 Ω B) 10 Ω
C) 16 Ω D) 15 Ω
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 12 Ω

Explanation:

From the given circuit,

three_resistors_are_arranged_in_a_circuit_as_shown_above1559105964.PNG image

The resistors R1 and R2 are in parallel connection and R3 is in series with R1 & R2

The equivalent resistance of R1 and R2 is

Req = (12 × 4)/(12 + 4) = 3 Ω.

Adding R3 in series with the pair gives

R = Req + 9

R = 3 + 9

R = 12 Ω.
