Q:

When Ionic bonds are formed metallic atoms tend to

A) share electrons B) gain electrons
C) lose electrons D) None of above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) lose electrons

Explanation:

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

 

Hence, when Ionic bonds are formed metallic atoms tend to lose electrons and become positive ions

C) 20 D) 14
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 16

Explanation:

Let the given be resembled in letters like R, G & B.

Here given,

1) R + R + R = 30

=> 3R = 30 => R = 30/3 = 10

 

2) R + G + G = 18 => R + 2G = 18 => 10 + 2G = 18 => 2G = 8 => G = 4

 

3) G - B = 2 => B = G - 2 => B = 4 - 2 => B = 2

 

Hence, R + G + B = 10 + 4 + 2 => 16.

C) 1956 April D) 1949 April
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1957 April

In India, Pakistan, and other places where a system of 1 rupee = 16 annas = 64 paise = 192 pies was used, the decimalisation process defines 1 naya paisa = ​1⁄100 rupee.
