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.

1. In the first step of the mechanism for this process, a phenoxide anion is generated. This phenoxide anion goes on to act as a
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

See the explanation

Explanation:

In this case, in order to get an <u>elimination reaction</u> we need to have a <u>strong base</u>. In this case, the base is the phenoxide ion produced the phenol (see figure 1).  

Due to the resonance, we will have a more stable anion therefore we will have a less strong base because the negative charge is moving around the molecule (see figure 2).

Finally, the phenoxide will attack the <u>primary carbon</u> attached to the Cl. The C-Cl bond would be broken and the C-O would be produced <u>at the same time</u> to get a substitution (see figure 1).

How do I convert units the easiest
damaskus [11]
To convert among units in the metric system, identify the unitthat you have, the unit that you want to convert to, and then count the number of units between them. If you are going from a larger unit to a smaller unit, you multiply by 10 successively

Which statements are correct about silicon?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

A. Metalloid

E. Has similar properties as Ge

F. Belongs to Period 3​

Explanation:

Silicon is the 14th element on the periodic table. Its unit is SI. Its properties straddles between those of metals and non-metals and it is described as a non-metal.

It's atomic weight or mass number is 28u. It has an atomic number of 14 i.e in its neutral state, the number of protons and electrons are equal to 14.

Silicon belongs to the 4th group and the 3rd period on the periodic table. Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties. The elements in Si group are: C, Ge, Sn and Pb. The properties of Si is similar to these elements because they all have a valency of 4. Across the period, the properties varies this is why Si would have a very different property from Al and P.

Which place is a likely location for primary succession ​
ZanzabumX [31]
Primary succession occurs in an area that has not been previously occupied by a community. Places where primary succession occurs include newly exposed rock areas, sand dunes, and lava flows. Simple species that can tolerate the often- harsh environment become established first.
