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.
Option C: elements produce spectra with only few distinct lines.
The spectra are not continuos and are different for every element. This permits to identify elements.
I believe they’re both true.
As glaciers melted at the end of the last Ice Age worldwide sea level increased immensely and river plains were flooded. Glaciers are floating bodies of ice. Ice is frozen water. When glaciers started melting water that had been frozen for decades or centuries was released back into the ocean. That lead to an increase in sea level. This also led to river plains being drowned/flooded. Therefore, the answer is 1 and 2.
