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.

When bases dissolve in water they release what type of negative ion?

Leto [7]

A base generally releases a hydroxide ion (OH-) when dissolved in water.

There are exceptions, such as ammonia NH3, which acts as a base but does not produce OH- ions. There are three definitions of acids and bases (Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis) and each one looks at acid/base characteristics differently. OH- donation is the Arrhenius definition.

Which of the following concerning the effects of temperature and pressure on solubility is/are correct?

just olya [345]

Answer:

None of the options are correct.

Explanation:

1) when the temperature of the solution is increased the solubility of the gas in the liquid decreases , hence option 1 is incorrect.

2)The heat released by the dissolution of an ionic compound in water is heat of hydration of the compound and is independent of the initial temperature of the solution.

3) The solubility of a liquid in water is not affected significantly by the pressure changes in the system as gases only have a significant cahne in solubility with change in pressure.
