Which of the following is the best explanation of why an ionic compound formula is a ratio of atoms ООО
The sharing of electrons is always in a simple ratio
The number of atoms in an ionic compound change... there can be several possible combinations
When ions form they are attracted to each other and "cxmp" together to form a crystal
lonic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water.

that tool would be a compass

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
