Chemistry
1 answer:
grin007 [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Ions are an atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons. They are formed when atoms lose or gain electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule and have full outer valence electron shells.

Explanation:

When they lose electrons, they become positively charged and are named cations. When they gain electrons, they are negatively charged and are named anions.

Propane, C3H8, consists of ________________ bonds and it can be expected to dissolve in hexane and to not dissolve in water.
PtichkaEL [24]

Non-polar covalent

Explanation:

Propane is made up of non-polar covalent bonds and it can be expected to dissolve in hexane and to not dissolve in water.

Propane is an hydrocarbon gas.

It forms by sharing of electrons between two atoms with very low electronegativity differences.

This differences results in equal sharing of the shared electron. Therefore they form a non-polar covalent bond.

Water is a polar covalent compound and cannot dissolve compounds that are not polar like propane.

Propane will only dissolve in a like substance like hexane which is equally non-polar.
