Chemical compounds have chemically bonded molecules so that they exhibit different properties (i.e. chemical) compared to the individual molecules comprising the compound. Mixtures are simply the combinations of different molecules and compounds that are not chemically bonded together, and can therefore be separated by physical means. Mixtures usually retain the properties of its components. 

The hydrogen and oxygen molecules in a mixture do not form strong bonds between each other. The molecules of both gases are only contained in the same space or volume and the individual molecules retain their chemical properties. 

A compound containing hydrogen and oxygen molecules exhibit different chemical (and even physical) properties compared to the individual molecules themselves.

Water for example, is a compound with 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom, chemically-bonded together. Hydrogen gas is highly flammable, water is not. Oxygen gas is an essential reagent for combustion (or burning) reactions, water is not. 
 
Thus, throwing a lighted match to a gaseous mixture of hydrogen (H_{2}) and oxygen (O_{2}) would create fire, or even an explosion (since hydrogen is flammable and oxygen feeds the reaction). Throwing a match to water vapor (H_{2}O) would not create fire.

How many electrons are transferred between the cation and anion to form the ionic bond in one formula unit of each compound? (1
rosijanka [135]
Here are the solutions:
For NaCl, there would be one electron transferred from the sodium atom, now producing a cation to the chlorine atom resulting in a chlorine anion. Forming ionic bond.
For CaS, there would be 2 electrons transferred from an atom of Ca to S, this can be obtained by simply looking at the ionic charges and or combining capacities of Ca.
For BaO, likewise, 2 electrons that are valence electrons are transferred from Ba to Oxygen.
In the ionic compound of KBr, the atom of K, potassium donated its one valence electron to Br, in need of it to achieve a stable octet, and produce the chemical bond.
Finally, LiF, a single valence electron is transferred from a metal atom of Li to F, for both of the atoms that would form the ionic bond to achieve a stable octet, and or full electron shell.

An atom X has 2 electrons in its outer orbit. What will it do to form a stable ion?
matrenka [14]

Answer:

In a neutral molecule, the sum of the bonding valance electrons must be equal. So the products of the negative element and its charges and the positive element and its charge must be equal.

Explanation:

C1×N1 = C2×N2

If we have a 3 valance electrons , the 'A' charge will be either +3 or -5 for a full octet and valance electron in 'B' atoms will mostly result in acquisition of additional electrons (2) for an octet and relative charge of -2.

Balancing the two,

3 × A = -2 × B

To be equal, A = 2 and B = 3

Therefore, A²B³

When considering metal complexation with EDTA, if you are comparing 2 metals, the metal with a higher ____________ will react wi
DENIUS [597]

If you are comparing 2 metals, the metal with a higher <u>Number of free ions</u> will react with EDTA first

<h3>What is EDTA ?</h3>

EDTA is a type of chemical which binds certain metal ions such as calcium and magnesium. some of the functions of EDTA  includes:

  • Preventing blood clotting of blood samples
  • prevention of the formation of Biofilm by bacterias

The EDTA will readily react with metals which have a hiogher number of free ions that it can bind with.

Hence we can conclude that If you are comparing 2 metals, the metal with a higher <u>Number of free ions</u> will react with EDTA first.
