Ionic compound consists of a positively charged ion and a negatively charged anion. For example, NaCl. Na (sodium) is a cation (another word for positively charged ion) and Cl (chloride) is a anion (another way for negatively charged ion.)
Molecular compounds consists of only negatively charged ions. For example Br2I is a compound of 2 elements that are negatively charged.
Unlike ionic compounds, molecular compounds consists of two or more negatively charged elements.
We have a solution of NaOH and H₂CO₃
First, NaOH will dissociate into Na⁺ and OH⁻ ions
The Na⁺ ion will substitute one of the Hydrogen atoms on H₂CO₃ to form NaHCO₃
The H⁺ released from the substitution will bond with the OH⁻ ion to form a water molecule
If there were to be another NaOH molecule, a similar substitution will take place, substituting the second hydrogen from H₂CO₃ as well to form Na₂CO₃
The answer is D. Gold. Malleability, the ability for a material to be hammered or shaped into thin sheets, is a common property of metals. Among the choices, gold is the only metal. Also, gold is considered to be the most malleable metal.
The answer that correctly describes a reaction that forms a disaccharide from two monosaccharides is Galactose + glucose = lactose.
Cellulose is not a disaccharide, glycogen is not a monosaccharide, and sucrose isn't either.
