Answer:
O2 is a covalent substance while NaCl is an ionic substance
Explanation:
In O2 molecule, the bond is between 2 oxygen atoms which are non - metals. Thus, this is a covalent bond since it involves 2 non metals.
Whereas, for the NaCl molecule, the bond is between a metal sodium (Na) and a non metal Chloride(Cl) and thus we can say this is an ionic bond.
Thus the difference is that O2 is a covalent substance while NaCl is an ionic substance.
It is a easy one. Keep working and don't stress about it, you'll see, doing this problem alone will securise you
Explanation:
(1) CuF2+Mg-------->MgF2+Cu
(2) 2Na+2H2O --------> 2NaOH+H2
(3) 2KBr+Cl2-------->2KCl+Br2
The extraction is done by electrolysis. The ions in the aluminium oxide must be free to move so that electricity can pass through it. Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point (over 2000°C) so it would be expensive to melt it. The use of cryolite reduces some of the energy costs involved in extracting aluminium.
(4) total number of valence electrons, because they exist in the same group.
