What happens to the valence electrons of a metal and a nonmetal when they form an ionic bond

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are also known as electrovalent bonds.

For ionic bonds to form, there is transfer of valence electrons from the metal to the non-metal. Metals are electropositive and would easily allow electrons to leave.

The goal of bonding is to achieve the octet configuration. An atom can lose or gain electrons to achieve this.

For example, to form NaCl, Na would loose its 1 valence electron. Cl would gain the Valence electron and complete it's octet with it.

This transfer of electron creates the ionic bond.

The metal which is less electronegative becomes positively charged. The non metal being more electronegative would become negatively charged.

Ionic compounds are polar compounds.

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
