I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. The compound that contains both ionic and covalent bonding is KOH or potassium hydroxide. It contains one covalent<span> (O-H) and one that is </span>ionic<span> (K-O). Hope this helps.</span>

Answer: KOH

Explanation:

Being KOH the only not binary compound it is the candidate to be the one with two different type of bondings.

In fact, KOH is a ionic compound because the cation K⁺ forms a ionic bond with the anion OH⁻.

On the other hand, the oxigen and hydrogen atoms in OH⁻ are covalently bonded.

The ionic bond is the result of the union of two atoms with a high elecronegativity difference, while the covalent bonding is the result of a combination of two atoms whose electronegativities is not so different.

Being K and alkali metal (the elements with lowest electronegativity) and OH⁻ an anion, they easily form the ionic bond.

From tables, the electronegativity of H is 2.20 and the electronegativity of O is 3.16, which leads to a difference of 3.16 - 2.20 = 0.96. This difference is not enough to form ions but covalent bonds. That is why the bond O-H is covalent.

When you analyze the bonds of the other choices, N-O, C-H, and H-Br, y ou conclude that the electronegativities lead to covalent bonds too.

zlopas [31]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

A) 3 atoms - 1 atom of Carbon and 2 atoms of oxygen.

B) 2 atoms of Nitrogen.

C) 6 atoms - 2 Carbon atoms, 2 Hydrogen atoms, and 2 Oxygen atoms.

<h2>Explanations:</h2>

A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound. Molecules are made up of atoms.

According to the following information, we are to find the number of atoms in the given molecules.

A) For carbon dioxide CO₂, this molecule is made of 3 atoms - 1 atom of Carbon and 2 atoms of oxygen.

B) For the compound N₂, this molecule is made up of 2 atoms of Nitrogen.

C) For the compound CHCOOH​, this molecule consists of 6 atoms - 2 Carbon atoms, 2 Hydrogen atoms, and 2 Oxygen atoms.

How do we differentiate chemical change from physical change ​
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Chemical change :has change in mass, heat is needed, new element is formed, hard to reverse.......

Physicalchange:does not have change in mass, heat is not necessary, no new element is formed, easy to reverse

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

(a). 4°C, (b). 2.4M, (c). 11.1 g, (d). 89.01 g, (e). 139.2 g and (f). 58 g/mol.

Explanation:

Without mincing words let's dive straight into the solution to the question.

(a). The freezing point depression can be Determine by subtracting the value of the initial temperature from the final temperature. Therefore;

The freezing point depression = [ 1 - (-3)]° C = 4°C.

(b). The molality can be Determine by using the formula below;

Molality = the number of moles found in the solute/ solvent's weight(kg).

Molality = ( 11.1 / 58) × (1000)/ ( 90.4 - 11.1) = 2.4 M.

(c). The mass of acetone that was in the decanted solution = 11.1 g.

(d). The mass of water that was in the decanted solution = 89.01 g.

(e). 2.4 = x/ 58 × (1000/1000).

x = 2.4 × 58 = 139.2 g.

(f). The molar mass of acetone = (12) + (1 × 3) + 12 + 16 + 12 + (1 x 3) = 58 g/mol.

Do you think genetic engineering is ethical? Explain why or why not.
kirill [66]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

One of the top goals of genetic engineering is the improvement of health. Imagine a world without the threat of AIDS or cancer. Those working in the genetics field hope that manipulating the genes of humans will one day enable science to prevent people from contracting these potentially deadly diseases.
