For each of the following compounds, state whether it is ionic or covalent, and if it is ionic, write the symbols for the ions i

kupik [55]

Answer :

Covalent compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound.

The covalent compound are usually formed when two non-metals react.

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

All the polyatomic ions always form an ionic compound.

Polyatomic ions : It is a charged species that composed of two or more atoms and these charged species are bonded by the covalent bond.

For the given options:

Option A: $KClO_4$

This compound is formed by the combination of potassium, $K^+$ which is a metal and $ClO_4^-$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option B: $Mg(C_2H_3O_2)_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of magnesium, $Mg^{2+}$ which is a metal and $C_2H_3O_2^{-}$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option C: $H_2S$

Hydrogen and sulfur, both are non-metals and they will form a covalent compound.

Option D: $Ag_2S$

This compound is formed by the combination of silver, $Ag^{+}$ which is a metal and sulfur, $S^{2-}$ which is a non-metal. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option E: $N_2Cl_4$

Nitrogen and chlorine, both are non-metals and they will form a covalent compound.

Option F: $Co(NO_3)_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of cobalt, $Co^{2+}$ which is a metal and $NO_3^{-}$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Rank the following acids in order of increasing acid strength. Key: Weakening of hydrogen bond and stability of resulting anion.

raketka [301]

Explanation:

The given compounds are oxyacids and in these compounds more is the electronegativity of the central atom more will be its acidic strength.

This is because more is the electronegativity of the central atom more will be the polarity of OH bond. As a result, the compound can readily lose $H^{+}$ ion.

Also, more is the electronegativity of central atom more will be the stability of conjugate base formed.

Thus, we can conclude that given compounds are arranged in increasing acid strength as follows.

HOI < $HOBr_{2}$ < $HOCl_{3}$ < HOF

Set up the math problem. But don’t do any of it. Just leave your answer as a math expression. Also be sure you’re answering clue

natta225 [31]

Answer:

Length = 681 grams / (44.5 grams / kilometers) = (681 / 44.5) kilometers

Explanation:

The diameter is there to throw us off, so ignore that. There is 681 grams of wire, and since there is 44.5 grams of copper per km of wire, and we want to know how many kilometers of wire makes 681 grams, the equation would be X*44.5 = 681, or X = 681/44.5

Also quora's censoring system is terrible i can't even say kilometers by adding the letter s after "km"
