HOW TO KNOW THAT A BOND IS IONIC OR COVELENT BY JUST LOOKING AT IT ?

1 answer:

6 0

Ionic bonds are made up of a metal and a nonmetal elements while covalent bonds are are made up of two metal. So, you can just look at the periodic table and identify which compounds have two metals and which have one metal and one nonmetal. Also, those compounds with high electronegativity difference are very likely to be ionic while the opposite is covalent. HOWEVER, some compounds can be both covalent and ionic. For instance, if HCI gas is at higher temperatures, then it is ionic while it would be covalent at room temp.

Hope I've helped.

an atom has 79 protons, 78 electrons and a mass number of 118. how many neutrons does this atom have

igomit [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electrons weigh almost nothing, so their mass doesn't really matter for these types of problems. Just subtract 118-79 to find the remaining mass which is for the neutrons.
