<u><em>Answer: Chemical reaction, a process in which one or more substances, the reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, the products.</em></u>
Explanation:
Answer:
- <u><em>Magnesium and fluorine.</em></u>
Explanation:
<em>Ionic compounds</em> are formed by the electrostatic attraction of cations and anions.
Cations, positive ions, are formed when atoms lose electrons, and anions, negative ions, are formed when atoms gain electrons.
When two different atoms have similar atraction for electrons (electronegativity) they will not donate to nor catch electrons from each other, so cations and anions will not be formed. Instead, the atoms would prefer to share electrons forming covalent bonds to complete their outermost shell (octet rule).
Then, in order to form ionic compounds the electronegativities have to substantially different. This situation does not happen between two nonmetal elements, which nitrogen and sulfur are. Then, you can predict safely that nitrogen and sulfur will not form an ionic compound.
Ionic compounds, then require the electronegativity difference that exist between some metals and nonmetals. Being magnesium an alkaline earth metal, its electronegativity is very low. On the other hand, fluorine the first element of the group 17, has the highest electronegativity of all the elements.Thus magnesium and fluorine will have enough electronegativity difference to justify the exchange of electrons, forming ions and, consequently, ionic compounds.
The answer is (2) higher vapor pressure and weaker intermolecular forces. Propanone has a lower boiling point, so it is more volatile than water. Propanone's vapor pressure is, therefore, higher than that of water at 50 degrees Celsius. Propanone is more volatile due to the fact that the intermolecular forces that hold its molecuels together are not as strong as those that hold together molecules of water. Since the IMFs are weaker, it takes less thermal energy to break individual molecules free of each other.
This is late but for anyone else who needs it...It's D. Far left
