Answer: B. 1:2

Explanation: Beryllium and chlorine forms a binary ionic compound. Ionic compound is formed when a metal loses its electrons to a receiving non metal. Beryllium (metal) has two valence electrons while chlorine (nonmetal) has seven valence electrons, and so a beryllium atom has to give out its two valence electrons to attain a duplet stable structure while a chlorine atom will gain one electron to attain its stable octet structure. In the reaction between beryllium and chlorine, two atoms of chlorine have to accept the two electrons from one beryllium atom to attain their stable octet structure.

The formula of the compound formed is BeCl2.

2 shells because if you do the electronic configuration: 
 2,7 which adds up to 9
7 stands for the group it in and it also stands for how many electrons are in the outer shell.
the amount of spaces stands for which period its in therefore it in period 2

Indicate the direction of polarity of each of the following covalent bonds. Please just write a + or - not the bonds.
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

1. C+ ---- O-

2. O+ ---- Cl-

3. O+ ----- F-

4. C+ ----- N-

5. Cl- ----- C+

6. S- ----- H+

7. S+ ----- Cl -

Explanation:

Electronegativity determines the polarity . There may be two atoms in a bond with high electronegativity, in such cases the positive charge is given to atom with comparatively lower electronegativity. Electronegativity determines the easiness with which an atom attract electrons in a chemical bond. A polar bond is formed when the difference in the electronegativity of two combining atoms is between 0.4 and 1.7. The correct direction is

1. C+ ---- O-

2. O+ ---- Cl-

3. O+ ----- F-

4. C+ ----- N-

5. Cl- ----- C+

6. S- ----- H+

7. S+ ----- Cl -
