Ca-Cl is an ionic bond. We know this because the difference between their electronegativities is 2.16.The electronegativity tells us which atom will attract the electron more than the other. Hence, chlorine attracts the electron a lot more than the calcium.A difference of more than 1.6 (or 1.7 depending on the source) implies that the electrons are so unevenly shared, that the bond is ionic, rather than polar covalent.

How are the properties of sodium chloride different than sodium and chlorine
lions [1.4K]
<span>Sodium chloride is formed when sodium atoms interact with chlorine atoms. When this occurs, sodium will donate an electron (which is a negatively-charged particle) to chlorine. This makes sodium slightly positive and chlorine slightly negative. ... So then, sodium ions will attract chloride ions and form an ionic bond.</span>

A student calculates that the volume of his textbook is 991.880 cm3. what is the volume written with 3 significant figures?
k0ka [10]

The volume of the textbook calculated by the student written to 3 significant figures is 992cm³

  • According to this question, a student calculates the volume of his textbook and arrived at an answer of 991.880 cm³.

  • To round up this digit to 3 significant figures, which means that only 3 significant numbers should appear in the answer.

  • To do this, the number after the third number is 8, which means we can round up the value of 1 to 2. Hence, the volume of the textbook calculated by the student is 992cm³ in 3 s.f.

makkiz [27]
The pressure of gas will increase because gaseous state is the final state and even if the heat added is evaporating some more gas is still added. It also depends on the temperature of heat added, if the temperature doesn't change the it's most likely for the pressure to be stable...
