Draw the electronic structure of Sodium Chloride and explain how an ionic bond affects the melting and boiling point.

Ionic bonds are very strong, with elements involved in a compound having a full outer shell of electrons due to donating and accepting electrons, allowing them to be in a very stable state. In this case, Sod...

Potassium forms an ionic compound with sulfur. Describe what happens when two atoms of potassium react with one atom of sulfur. Give your answer in terms of electron transfer. Give the formulae of the ions formed. (5 marks)

electrons, which are negative particles that are part of the atom, are transferred from potassium to sulfurtwo potassium atoms each lose one electron and they form K+ ions as they have lost negative charge s...

In an analysis of copper sulfide, 12.7g of copper was found to be combined with 3.2 g of sulfur. Calculate the empirical formula.

So, the empirical formula means the smallest value, like the lowest common denominator in maths, but instead of fractions we are going to be using chemical formulae. I always find it easiest to set it out li...
