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 Li and O,

                    E.N of Oxygen                 =   3.44

                    E.N of Lithium                  =   0.98
                                                             ________

                      E.N Difference                     2.46          (Ionic Bond)

For Cl and F,
                    E.N of Fluorine                 =   3.98

                    E.N of Chlorine                 =   3.16
                                                             ________

                      E.N Difference                     0.82   (Mildly Polar Covalent Bond)

For Ca and S,
                    E.N of Sulfur                   =   2.58

                    E.N of Calcium                =   1.00
                                                             ________

                      E.N Difference                   1.58          (Polar Covalent Bond)

Which contains elements with similar properties in the periodic table? A. a period B. a column C. a row
Semmy [17]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Elements of a group represent similar chemical properties because they contain same number of valence electrons which determines their reactivity.

Hence, elements of a group have same chemical nature or property.

A group is represented by a vertical column in a periodic table.

On the other hand, a period is represented by a horizontal line.

Thus, we can conclude that a column contains elements with similar properties in the periodic table.

HELP PLEASE <br><br> What makes up most of an<br> atom's volume, and where is it located?
scoray [572]

Answer:Accounting for the sizes of protons, neutrons, and electrons, most of the volume of an atom—greater than 99 percent—is, in fact, empty space. ... The electrons that surround all atoms are negatively charged and cause atoms to repel one another, preventing atoms from occupying the same space.

Explanation: hope this helped

How would a sandblasted rock differ from a rock that hasn't been sandblasted?
steposvetlana [31]
A non-sandblasted rock could be rough or smooth depending on how it was formed.

A sandblasted rock should be much smoother, since the sand blasts away any rough edges. It will, however, be slightly smaller due to losing those edges.
