Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A compound formed by sharing of electrons is known as a covalent compound. Whereas a compound formed by donating electrons is known as ionic bond.

Also, it is known that an ionic or polar compound is soluble in polar solvent like water. And a non-polar compound is soluble in a non-polar solvent.

For example, sodium has 11 electrons and chlorine has 17 electrons. So sodium will donate one extra electron to chlorine in order to complete their octet. Hence, it will result in the formation of an ionic compound.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement it is made up of ions that are held together by ionic bonds, is true.

A polar covalent bond will form between which two atoms?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Types of Bonds can be predicted by calculating the difference in electronegativity.

If, Electronegativity difference is,

 

                Less than 0.4 then it is Non Polar Covalent

                

                Between 0.4 and 1.7 then it is Polar Covalent 

            

                Greater than 1.7 then it is Ionic

 

For Be and F,

                    E.N of Fluorine          =   3.98

                    E.N of Beryllium        =   1.57

                                                   ________

                    E.N Difference                2.41          (Ionic Bond)


For H and Cl,

                    E.N of Chorine           =   3.16

                    E.N of Hydrogen        =   2.20

                                                   ________

                    E.N Difference                0.96          (Polar Covalent Bond)


For Na and O,

                    E.N of Oxygen          =   3.44

                    E.N of Sodium          =   0.93

                                                       ________

                    E.N Difference                2.51          (Ionic Bond)


For F and F,

                    E.N of Fluorine          =   3.98

                    E.N of Fluorine          =   3.98

                                                        ________

                    E.N Difference                0.00         (Non-Polar Covalent Bond)

Result:

           A polar covalent bond is formed between Hydrogen and Chlorine atoms.

Predict the products when cyclohexanol is dehydrated.
lubasha [3.4K]
<span>When cyclohexanol is dehydrated using various means it creates a new hydrocarbon. This new hydrocarbon is called cyclohexene. Cyclohexene is a liquid which has no color, yet has a very strong smell to it. It is used in common industrial processes, but is also considered somewhat unstable due to it's tendency to form peroxides when exposed to light.</span>
