Primary difference between ionic and covalent bonds
Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.
Atomic number of an element with 11 protons
The atomic number is 11, which equals the number of protons.
Mass number of an element with 11 protons and 12 neutrons
The mass number is 23, calculated as protons (11) plus neutrons (12).
Why do noble gases rarely form chemical bonds?
Noble gases have a full outer electron shell, making them chemically stable and unlikely to form bonds.
Balanced chemical equation for hydrogen and oxygen forming water
The balanced equation is \(2H_2 + O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O\).
pH indication of a substance turning pH strip bright red at pH 2
The substance is an acid because a pH of 2 is strongly acidic.
