Answer:
O2 is a covalent substance while NaCl is an ionic substance
Explanation:
In O2 molecule, the bond is between 2 oxygen atoms which are non - metals. Thus, this is a covalent bond since it involves 2 non metals.
Whereas, for the NaCl molecule, the bond is between a metal sodium (Na) and a non metal Chloride(Cl) and thus we can say this is an ionic bond.
Thus the difference is that O2 is a covalent substance while NaCl is an ionic substance.
Answer:
230
Th
90
Explanation:
The left side shows the element uranium with mass number 234 (superscript to the left of ths symbol) and atomic mass 92 (subscript to the left of the symbol).
So, you have to find the mass number and atomic numbers missing on the right side which added to those shown for the helium atom reach 234 and 92.
This the the mathematics:
1) Mass number of U - mass number of He = 234 - 4 = 230 ⇒ the mass number of the missing element is 230.
2) atomic number of U - atomic number of He = 92 - 2 = 90 ⇒ the atomic number of the missing element is 90.
Now, you use the atomic mass to identify the element. You do it by simply searching in a periodic table. There you find that the atomic number 90 corresponds to thorium, whose symbol is Th.
Now you have that the product that completes the right side of the decay equation is:
230
Th
90
Answer:
Explanation: A chemical change is a reaction in which chemical composition of the substance changes. Some bonds are broken and some new bonds are formed.
The reactants are written in terms of their chemical formula on the left hand side and the products are written in terms of their chemical formula on right hand side with a arrow in between. The chemical symbols are followed by their physical states such as (l) for liquid, (s) for solid, (g) for gas and (aq) for aqueous.
Thus the only reaction producing a gas is
