Answer: Option (1) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A bond formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another is known as an ionic bond.

Generally, an ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non-metal.

When a bond is formed by sharing of electrons then it is known as a coavlent bond.

A covalent bond is formed only within non-metals.

Chemical formula of iron(III) oxide is $Fe_{2}O_{3}$ . Here, iron is the metal and oxygen atom is the non-metal.

Hence, bond formed within both the elements will be ionic in nature due to transfer of electrons from iron to oxygen atom.

Thus, we can conclude that the bonds in iron(III) oxide are more ionic.

How much concentrated solution would it take to prepare 2.75 L of 0.400 M HCl upon dilution with water

grin007 [14]

Hydrochloric acid is usually purchased in a concentrated form that is 37.0% HCl by mass and has a density of 1.20g/mL. Calculate the molarity of the concd HCl.
1.20 g/mL x 1000 mL x 0.37 x (1/36.5) = about 12 M or so but you do it exactly.

Then mL x M = mL x M
mL x 12 M = 2800 mL x 0.475
Solve for mL of the concd HCl solution.

4. Know the location of metals, non-metals and metalloids

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The metals are to the left of the line (except for hydrogen, which is a nonmetal), the nonmetals are to the right of the line, and the elements immediately adjacent to the line are the metalloids.
