Let's define an ionic and covalent bond.
An ionic bond occurs between a metal and non-metal. These electrons are transferred between atoms. A Covalent bond occurs between a nonmetal and a nonmetal. These electrons are shared between atoms.
First, identify whether each element is metal or nonmetal. If you need a little help, refer to an online periodic table for guidance.
We see that both Hydrogen and Sulfur are nonmetals. That eliminates both choice 1 and 3.
Then, understanding that within covalent bonds, electrons are shared, choice 4 is eliminated.
Thus, the answer is 2.

Explain why solid sodium chloride does not conduct electricity
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

It does not contain free mobile ions

Explanation:

Solid sodium chloride does not conduct electricity because it does not contain free mobile ions.

  • Although sodium chloride is an ionic compound, in solid state, there is absence of free mobile ions.
  • In aqueous solutions or in molten form, ionic compounds can conduct an electric current using free mobile ions as carriers.
  • Therefore, they are electrolytes.

In solid state ions are arranged into crystal lattice and will not conduct a current of electricity.

An ionic solid is placed in water. which information is described by the solubility product constant?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{C. the equilibrium between the solid and its ions in solution}}

Explanation:

\rm MX(s) $\, \rightleftharpoons \,$ M$^{+}$(aq) + $^{-}$(aq); $K_{\text{sp}}$ = [M$^{+}$][X$^{-}$]\\\\\text{$K_{\text{sp}}$ gives us information on}\\\\\boxed{\textbf{ the equilibrium between the solid and its ions in solution}}

It tells us nothing about the amount of precipitate that will form or the temperature at which the equilibrium occurs.

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium with hydrochloric acid (HCI (aq) to form Magnesium chloride and
ivann1987 [24]
Mg (s)       +    HCl (aq)    →  MgCl₂(s)   + H₂(g)

Looking at the equation :

We have 1 Mg at the left hand side and 1 Mg as well on the right hand side.
So that is balanced. 

We have 1 H at the left hand side and 2 H on the right hand side.
So that is not balanced.  Same for Chlorine. Cl.

We add 2 to the HCl on the left hand side and that balances it.

Mg(s)       +    2HCl(aq)    →  MgCl₂(s)  + H₂(g)
