Opposite charges on positive and negative ions attract each other.

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is opposite charges on positive and negative ions attract each other.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ionic bonds are defined as the bonds which are formed by the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom. The compounds having ionic bonds are known as ionic compounds.

In this bond formation, the atom loosing its electrons is known as electropositive atom and the atom gaining electrons is known as electronegative atom. In these compounds, oppositely charged ions are attracted towards each other to form a compound.

<u>For Example:</u> NaCl is formed by the combination of Na^+\text{ and }Cl^- ions.

Choose the best option for the precursor to the tosylate intermediate Design a synthesis of cis-2-methylcyclopentyl acetate from
kumpel [21]

Answer:

To synthesize cis-2-methylcyclopentyl from methycyclopentanol, you need to replace the acetate hydroxyl group with acetate by inverting the configuration.  

Explanation:

To understand the process, you need to understand the nucleophilic mechanism taking place in the process. This is the first stage of the process. Hydroxide is a poor leaving group, to it must be converted to a good leaving group. To effect the change, it is necessary to use p-toluenesuphate.

p-toluenesuphate is favored because this can be prepared by a reaction that alters none of the bonds attached to the stereogenic center.

The reaction of p-toluensulfonate with potassium acetate in acetic acid effects the conversion to give the final product: cis-2-methylcyclopentyl.

Gwar [14]

Answer:

NaCl neutral

Na₂SO₄ basic

NaHCO₃ basic

K₃PO₄ basic

Na₃C₆H₅O₇ basic

CaCl₂ neutral

Sodium oxalate (Na₂C₂O₄) dissolves and dissociates in water.

Oxalic acid (C₂H₂O₄) dissolves and dissociates in water

Explanation:

<em>Identify each item as being acidic, basic, or neutral when dissolved in water. If a particular ingredient does make an acidic or basic solution, describe how this occurs.</em>

<em />

NaCl

When NaCl is dissolved in water the resulting solution is neutral.

Na₂SO₄

When Na₂SO₄ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic due to the basic hydrolysis of the SO₄²⁻ ion.

SO₄²⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HSO₄⁻(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

NaHCO₃

When NaHCO₃ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic due to the basic hydrolysis of the HCO₃⁻ ion.

HCO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₂CO₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

K₃PO₄

When K₃PO₄ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic due to the basic hydrolysis of the PO₄³⁻ ion.

PO₄³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HPO₄²⁻(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Na₃C₆H₅O₇ (sodium citrate)

When Na₃C₆H₅O₇ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic due to the basic hydrolysis of the C₆H₅O₇³⁻ ion.

C₆H₅O₇³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₆O₇²⁻(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

CaCl₂

When CaCl₂ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is neutral.

Sodium oxalate (Na₂C₂O₄) dissolves and dissociates in water according to the following equation:

Na₂C₂O₄(aq) ⇄ 2 Na⁺(aq) + C₂O₄²⁻(aq)

Oxalic acid (C₂H₂O₄) dissolves and dissociates in water according to the following equation:

C₂H₂O₄(aq) ⇄ C₂HO₄⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)
