Ionic bonds are formed when there is complete transfer of valence electrons between two atoms.
Electronegativity tells the trend of an atom to atract electrons.
You should search for the complete set of rules that indicate whether an ionic or covalent bond happens.
There are two relevant rules to state if whether an ionic bond will happen:
- When the difference of electronegativities between the two atoms is greater than 2.0, then the bond is ionic.
- When the difference is between 1.6 and 2.0, the bond is ionic if one of the elements is a metal.
You need to list the electronegativities of the five elements (there are tables with this information)
Element electronegativity
Cu: 1.9
H: 2.2
Cl 3.16
I: 2.66
S: 2.58
Differences:
Cu / S: 2.58 - 1.9 = 0.68
H / S: 2.58 - 2.2 = 0.38
Cl / S: 3.16 - 2.58 =0.58
I / S: 2.66 - 2.58 = 0.08
Those differences are too low to consider that the bond is ionic.
Then the answer is that none of those atoms forms an ionic bond with sulfur.
Answer:
The atom resembles plum pudding
Explanation:
The discovery of the electron in 1897 by J. J Thomson and the proton in 1917 by Rutherford most directly refuted or replace the idea that the atom resembles plum pudding.
Explanation:
Boiling is defined as a process in which vapor pressure of a liquid substance becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure.
During this change liquid and vapors remain in equilibrium and the equation for this change is as follows.

Therefore, when boiling takes place then average kinetic energy of particles in liquid phase equals to the average kinetic energy of particles in vapor phase.
Hence, we can increase the kinetic energy of particles in liquid phase by increasing the temperature because kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature as follows.
