The concentration of hydroxide ions is greater than the concentration of hydronium ions for acidic solutions. true or false

False

Explanation:

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydronium ion concentration present in the solution.

If the solution has low hydronium ion concentration than hydroxide ion concentration, the pH will be high and the solution will be basic. The pH range of basic solution is 7.1 to 14

If the solution has high hydronium ion concentration than hydroxide ion concentration, the pH will be low and the solution will be acidic. The pH range of acidic solution is 0 to 6.9.

The solution having pH equal to 7 is termed as neutral solution.

Thus the given statement is False.

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.
