Answer: Option (1) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Compounds in which atoms transfer electrons result in the formation of ionic bond. Whereas when atoms in a compound share electrons then they result in the formation of covalent compounds.

Also, it is known that like dissolves like. Hence, water being an ionic compound itself dissolves other ionic compounds.

Thus, out of the given options HCl is a covalent compound, therefore, HCl is the compound that becomes less soluble in water as the temperature of the solution is increased.

Are metal and non-metal elements typically ionically bonded? Explain.

victus00 [196]

Answer: Yes, metals and non-metals forms ionic bonds.

Explanation:

Ionic bond is defined as the bond which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

The atom which looses the electron is known as electropositive atom and the atom which gains the electron is known as electronegative atom. This bond is usually formed between a metal and a non-metal.

For Example: Formation of sodium chloride

Sodium is a metal and is the 11th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^1$

To form $Na^{+}$ ion, this element will loose 1 electron.

Chlorine is a non-metal and is the 17th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^5$ .

To form $Cl^{-}$ ion, this element will gain 1 electron.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the compound formed between sodium and chlorine atom is NaCl

Hence, metals and non-metals forms ionic bonds.

4 5 Is water an acid, alkali or neutral? Give the reason for your answer.

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Acid.

Explanation:

I assume you mean 4.5?

pH below 7 is acidic

pH above 7 is alkaline

pH equal to 7 is neutral

4.5 lies below 7, so it is acidic

What are the cations and anions whose compounds are usually soluble?

HACTEHA [7]

Answer: -

Solubility of a substance depend on the balance of intermolecular forces between the solvent and solute, and the entropy change that accompanies this process.

Temperature and pressure also plays a role in solubility.

A solution having Group 1 cations like lithium, sodium, potassium etc are always soluble.

A solution having NH₄⁺ is soluble.

All salts with anion as nitrates, acetates, chlorates, and perchlorates are soluble in water.

Complete the sentence. ______________ is thought to be most responsible for the salinity of the oceans.

Anettt [7]

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the fourth choice or letter D. Natural run-off from mountain ranges is thought to be most responsible for the salinity of the oceans.

After years and years of river inflow and evaporation, the salt content of the lake water built up to the present levels. The same process made the seas salty. Rivers carry dissolved salts to the ocean. Water evaporates from the oceans to fall again as rain and to feed the rivers, but the salts remain in the ocean.
