Answer: A: high ionization energies; high electron affinitlies.
Explanation: Covalent bonds are basically about sharing of electrons between two atoms to achieve that stable structure. They are formed between two atoms when both have similar tendencies to attract electrons to themselves (i.e., when both atoms have identical or fairly similar ionization energies and electron affinities). Covalent bonding usually occurs between two non-metals.
For effective and proper bonding, the two atoms involved in the covalent bonding exercise should be small and hungry for electrons. This is to enable the nuclei of both atoms to effectively attract and hold the shared electron(s) in place; hence, the need for high ionization energies & high electron affinities for a more effective covalent bonding.
I remember learning this last y’all i jus don’t remember it might be A or C
H^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) ---> H2O(l)
<span>Na^+ and ClO4^- are the spectator ions.</span>
Answer:
1.12 × 10⁻⁴ M
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the reaction for the solution of Mg(OH)₂
Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)
Step 2: Make an ICE chart
We can relate the solubility product constant (Ksp) with the solubility (S) through an ICE chart.
Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)
I 0 0
C +S +2S
E S 2S
The solubility product constant is:
Ksp = 5.61 × 10⁻¹² = [Mg²⁺] × [OH⁻]² = S × (2S)² = 4S³
S = 1.12 × 10⁻⁴ M
