Answer:

a) Solid Xenon - only van der waals  forces of attractions.

b) Calcium Fluoride - Ionic Bonding

c) Bronze - Metallic Bonding

d) Cadmium telluride - Covalent bonding with slight ionic character.

e) Rubber - Covalent bonding with some van der Waals forces of attraction.

f) Tungsten - Metallic bonding

Explanation:

a) Xenon is  a noble gas having fully filled stable electronic configuration.

So, there is no bonding between xenon atoms in solid xenon.

Only van der waals forces of attraction are found.

b) Calcium fluoride is an ionic compound formed from calcium (2+) and Fluoride ion.

c) Bronze is an alloy formed mainly from copper and tin which are both metals.

So, metallic bonding is  in found in bronze.

d) Cadmium telluride is formed form cadimium (2+) ion and Telluride ion with -2 charge.

So, it has slight ionic character with predominant covalent bonding

e) Rubber is a polymer which is formed from isoprene units.

So, covalent bonding exists along with van der waals forces.

f) Tungsten is a metal. So, metallic bonding is found between the atoms of tungsten.

Predict the precipitate that will be formed in the following reaction:<br> NaF(aq) + AgNO3(aq) →
netineya [11]

The precipitate that will be formed : AgF

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

One indication of the double displacement reaction is the precipitation reaction

Solubility Rules:  

• 1. soluble compound  

All compounds of Li +, Na +, K +, Rb +, Cs +, and NH4 +  

All compounds of NO₃⁻ and C₂H₃O₂⁻  

Compounds of Cl−, Br−, I− except Ag⁺, Hg₂²⁺, Pb²⁺  

Compounds of SO₄²⁻ except for Hg₂²⁺, Pb²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺  

• 2. insoluble compounds  

Compounds of CO₃²⁻ and PO₄³⁻ except for Compounds of Li +, Na +, K +, Rb +, Cs +, and NH₄ +  

Compounds of OH− except Compounds of Li +, Na +, K +, Rb +, Cs +, NH₄⁺, Sr²⁺, and Ba²⁺  

Reaction

NaF(aq) + AgNO₃(aq) →NaNO₃(aq)+ AgF(s)

From the solubility rules above, it has been shown that the salts of the Ag⁺ cations are insoluble salts

Positional isomers ? are compounds that have the same number and types of atoms but are arranged differently
11111nata11111 [884]
That is correct. Positional isomers are compounds that have the same number and type of atoms. The only difference is that they are simply  arranged in different ways.
