Coal is not a mineral. It's not a mineral because minerals are inorganic. Coal is organic because it comes from decayed living matter.
Covalent compounds are composed of atoms that are linked via covalent bonds i.e. bonds formed by mutual sharing of electrons. This is in complete contrast to ionic compounds which are held together by ionic bonds, i.e. bonds formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to the other.
In the given examples we have:
Barium nitrate: Ba(NO3)2 - Ionic
Dinitrogen tetroxide: N2O4- Covalent
Boron trifluoride: BF3-Covalent
Ammonium sulfate: (NH4)2SO4- Ionic
Carbon tetrachloride: CCl4- Covalent
Barium chloride: BaCl2 - Ionic
[Co(NH₃)₅Br]²⁺
Ligands and charges on them,
5 × NH₃ = 5 × 0 = 0
1 × Br⁻¹ = 1 × -1 = -1
Charge on sphere = +2
So, putting values in equation,
Co + (0)₅ - 1 = +2
Co + 0 - 1 = +2
Co - 1 = +2
Co = +2 + 1
Co = +3
Result:
Oxidation state of Co in [Co(NH₃)₅Br]²⁺ is +3.
Answer:
NaCl + AgF → NaF + AgCl
Explanation:
A double replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction that occurs when two reactants exchange cations or anions to yield two new products.
From all the reactions given ,
- 2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl is an example of combination reaction because two or more reactants (Na & Cl₂) react with each other to form a single product (NaCl)
- H₂SO₃ → H₂O + SO₂ is an example of decomposition reaction because a single reactant (H₂SO₃) breaks down into two or more products (H₂O & SO₂).
- 2K + 2H₂O → 2KOH + H₂ is an example of displacement reaction because a highly reactive element (K) displaces a least reactive element (H) from its compound (H₂O).
- NaCl + AgF → NaF + AgCl is an example of double replacement reaction because there's an exchange between Cations (
&
) and Anions (

).
