A sample of neon gas occupies a volume of 2.8 L at a temp. of 55◦C. The sample is cooled to 30. ◦C, what is the new volume in mL?

a: 2,600 mL
b: 15.4 mL
c: 15 mL
d: 1.5 L

The new volume is 2580 mL.

Explanation:

Charles law gives the relationship between volume and temperature of the gas. According to this law, volume of gas is directly proportional to temperature, pressure remains constant.

Here,

We need to find V₂. So,

2.58 L = 2580 mL

So, the new volume is 2580 mL.

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.
