<span>Every chemical is made up of atoms and each atom has one or more electrons surrounded its nucleus. The electron emits light after changing from a high energy state o to a lower energy state which is known as transition. The color of this light is unique to each element because each atom of a particular element has a different transition energy.</span>

Why is salt an ionic bond? Why is salt an ionic bond?
yaroslaw [1]
: If you mean table salt i.e. sodium chloride. It is held together by ionic bonds between sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-) ions. The sodium ions have a positive charge and the chlorine ions have a negative charge. Since opposite charges attract, they form ionic bonds. Ionic bonds are nothing more than the attraction between positive and negative ions.

Pick the correct pair of species that can form hydrogen bond with water. (A) CH, HCOOH (B) F, HCOOH (C) F .CH,OCH, (D) Both (B)
Xelga [282]

Answer:

(B) F⁻, HCOOH

Explanation:

(A) CH₄, HCOOH

(B) F⁻, HCOOH

(C) F⁻, CH₃-O-CH₃

The hydrogen bonds are formed when the hydrogen is found between two electronegative atoms such as oxygen (O), nitrogen (N) or florine (F).

O····H-O, F····H-O, O····H-N

(A) CH₄, HCOOH

- here methane CH₄ is not capable to form hydrogen bond with water

- formic acid HCOOH can form hydrogen bonds with water

H-C(=O)-O-H····OH₂

(B) F⁻, HCOOH

-both floride (F⁻) and formic acid can form hydrogen bonds with water

F····OH₂

H-C(=O)-O-H····OH₂

(C) F⁻, CH₃-O-CH₃

-  dimethyl-ether CH₃-O-CH₃ is not capable to form hydrogen bond with water

- floride (F⁻) can form hydrogen bonds with water

F····OH₂
