Answer: The correct answer is Option B.

Explanation:

Compound having oppositely charged ions are considered as ionic compounds.

Ionic compounds are formed when complete transfer of electrons takes place between the atoms forming a bond. This bond is formed between a metal and a non-metal or a polyatomic cation and an non-metal or a metal and a polyatomic anion. For Example: $NaCl,NH_4Cl,BaSO_4$ etc..

Covalent compounds are formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms forming a bond. This bond is formed between two non-metals. For Example: $H_2O,SO_2$ etc..

For the given options:

Option A: $OCl_2$

Oxygen and chlorine both are non-metals. Thus, it is forming a covalent compound.

Option B: $Na_2O$

Sodium is a metal and oxygen is a non-metal. Thus, it is forming an ionic compound and contain oppositely charged ions.

Option C: $NH_3$

Nitrogen and hydrogen both are non-metals. Thus, it is forming a covalent compound.

Option D: $SCl_2$

Sulfur and chlorine both are non-metals. Thus, it is forming a covalent compound.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

If the % acetic acid listed on a vinegar bottle is 4%, what is the implied uncertainty of the acetic acid concentration

Tom [10]

Answer:

This question appears incomplete

Explanation:

This question appears incomplete because the data provided only makes it possible to calculate the certainty of the acetic acid content per total volume of the vinegar. Thus, the 4% means for every 100 mL of the vinegar, there is 4 mL of acetic acid present. To calculate the volume of acetic acid in any other volume of vinegar, the formula will be

volume of acetic acid = 4/100 × total volume of vinegar

Can someone help with question 6 ASAP

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

A metalloid is a type of chemical element which has a preponderance of properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals. There is no standard definition of a metalloid and no complete agreement on which elements are metalloids. Despite the lack of specificity, the term remains in use in the literature of chemistry.

A series of six elements called the metalloids separate the metals from the nonmetals in the periodic table. The metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. These elements look metallic; however, they do not conduct electricity as well as metals so they are semiconductors. They are semiconductors because their electrons are more tightly bound to their nuclei than are those of metallic conductors. Their chemical behavior falls between that of metals and nonmetals. For example, the pure metalloids form covalent crystals like the nonmetals, but like the metals, they generally do not form monatomic anions. This intermediate behavior is in part due to their intermediate electronegativity values. In this section, we will briefly discuss the chemical behavior of metalloids and deal with two of these elements—boron and silicon—in more detail.
