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.

How can equilibrium of a closed system chemical reaction be disturbed? Select all that apply.
charle [14.2K]

The correct answers are :

Changing the volume of the system.

Changing the temperature of the system.

Equilibrium will remain unaffected if the concentration of products and reactants are kept the same, and the temperature of the system is kept constant.

As the system is closed, we cannot add or remove products or reactants.

Change in temperature will shift the chemical equilibrium towards the reactant or product depending on whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic.

Also change in volume  will shift the chemical equilibrium of a chemical reaction if the reactants or products or both are gases.

anzhelika [568]
Get a magnet in a bag (inside out) and move the magnet all over the sand/iron and you can collect all the iron and turn the bag right side out and zip up the bag. Now you have the sand and iron separated and it will be harder to accidentally mix them later.

Rank these compounds by their expected boiling point? CH4 CH3Cl CH3OH? Lowest to highest; 10+ for the best explanation. Thank yo
docker41 [41]
Methane, CH4, would have the lowest boiling point among the three since it has the lowest number of carbon and has no functional groups. Methanol would have the highest boiling point since it has a functional group which contains hydrogen bonding which much stronger than the one in CH3Cl. Hope this helps.<span />
