(a) The nature of bond between A and B is an ionic bond.

(b) The two main properties of the ionic compounds are:

  • Ionic Compounds have high boiling and melting points as they're very strong and require a lot of energy to break.
  • The electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions lead to the formation of ions.

(c) If the ionic compound is dissolved in water, the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly

<h3>What is an ionic compound?</h3>

Ionic compounds contain ions and are held together by the attractive forces among the oppositely charged ions.

An ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of some electrons from one atom to another. The atom losing one or more electrons becomes a cation—a positively charged ion.

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.

When ionic compounds dissolve in water, the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly throughout the solution.

How many moles of oxygen will occupy a volume of 2.50 liters?
loris [4]
Data:
n (number of mols) = ? 
V (volume) = 2.50 Liters 
If: 
1 L → 1000 g
2.50 L → y

y = 1000*2.50 = 2500 g

Therefore:
m (mass) = 2500 g

Now:
Molar Mass (MM) of oxygen = 16 g/mol

Formula:
n =  \frac{m}{MM}

Solving:
n = \frac{m}{MM}
n = \frac{2500\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g}{16\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g/mol}
\boxed{\boxed{n = 156.25\:mols}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

I need help with the first question
gregori [183]
Zn⁰ ----> Zn⁺²   +   2e⁻ -  oxidation
Hg⁺² + 2e⁻ ----> Hg⁰ - reduction

Zn loses 2 moles of electrons , and Hg gains 2 mole of electrons.
So, number of moles of electrons gained and lost during reaction is equal.

What are three functions of the excretory system
Maru [420]

Answer:

Helps eliminate waste products such as urea, uric acid ammonia, and other products via urine.

It helps maintain the osmotic level of blood and plasma.

It helps maintain the electrolyte balance in the body.

And it also helps in the metabolism of those drugs that do not get metabolized in the liver.

Explanation:

<em>"The excretory system is a passive biological system that removes excess, unnecessary materials from the body fluids of an organism, so as to help maintain internal chemical homeostasis and prevent damage to the body. The dual function of excretory systems is the elimination of the waste products of metabolism and to drain the body of used up and broken down components in a liquid and gaseous state"</em>
