Which of the following atoms forms an ionic bond with a sulfur atom? (Points : 3)
elena-s [515]
Ionic bonds are formed when there is complete transfer of valence electrons between two atoms.

Electronegativity tells the trend of an atom to atract electrons.

You should search for the complete set of rules that indicate whether an ionic or covalent bond happens.

There are two relevant rules to state if whether an ionic bond will happen:

- When the difference of electronegativities between the two atoms is greater than 2.0, then the bond is ionic.

- When the difference is between 1.6 and 2.0, the bond is ionic if one of the elements is a metal.

You need to list the electronegativities of the five elements (there are tables with this information)

Element  electronegativity

Cu:    1.9
H:      2.2
Cl      3.16
I:        2.66
S:      2.58

Differences:

Cu / S: 2.58 - 1.9 = 0.68
H / S: 2.58 - 2.2 = 0.38
Cl / S: 3.16 - 2.58 =0.58
I / S: 2.66 -  2.58 = 0.08

 Those differences are too low to consider that the bond is ionic.

Then the answer is that none of those atoms forms an ionic bond with sulfur.

How many elements and atoms are in marble
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Scientists know that there are 6x1023 molecules in a mole - so we have about 0.5x1023 molecules in our marble…and since every silicon dioxide molecule has one atom of silicon and two of oxygen, we have a grand total of 1.5x1023 atoms. That's 150,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms

A person is just as likely to become dehydrated in the cold as in the heat
kicyunya [14]
Yes this is true as in cold conditions our body doesn't feel the urge of water therefore we may become dehydrated not even knowing about it and of course in hot coditions we sweat therefore we loose water.
Hope this helps :).
