What types of atoms typically form covalent bonds?
The correct answer:
d) Nonmetals with nonmetals, because their difference in electronegativity is below 1.7.
En example to explain:
An example of a covalent bonding: HCl -> 2 nonmentals
-> a difference in electronegativity less than 1.7:
EN(Cl) = 3.0 and EN (H) = 2.1 (you can search these values in a periodic table)
/\EN = 3.0 - 2.1 = 0.9
0.9 < 1.7
I hope this helped you out!

AgF consists of Ag+ and F- ions, which are fully dissociated in aqueous solution. When solving electrolysis problems, it is important to remember that water itself may also be a subject to electrolysis. Therefore, determining which species is oxidized and which species is reduced depends on selecting the processes that are the most energetically favorable. The most preferred reduction reaction will be Ag+ + e- = Ag (Emf=0.7996 V) which will occur at the cathode, on the other hand, the most favorable oxidation reaction will be
2H2O = O2 +4H+ + 4e- (Emf = -1.3 V) that will occur at the anode. Thus, the product at the anode is oxygen gas and at the cathode electrode is silver metal.
Answer:
B. Ionic Compound
Explanation:
An ionic compound is that compound which contains a positively charged ion called CATION and a negatively charged ion called ANION. The cation loses or transfers electrons to the anion, hence, making the former (cation) positive and the latter (anion) negative.
A polyatomic ion is an ion that contains more than one type of atom e.g OH-, NO3²-, CO3²- etc. A polyatomic ion usually has an overall charge formed from the charges of the individual atoms that makes it up. For example, in OH-, the overall charge is -1.
Since a polyatomic ion can have an overall positive or negative charge, it must enter a reaction with another ion that complements it i.e. a negative polyatomic ion will react with a positive ion to neutralize its charge. Hence, this forms an IONIC COMPOUND. This is why most compounds with polyatomic ions are IONIC COMPOUNDS.
For example, CaCO3 is an ionic compound formed when Ca²+ (cation) reacts with the polyatomic anion: CO3²-
Answer:Acids taste sour, react with metals, react with carbonates, and turn blue litmus paper red. Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, do not react with carbonates and turn red litmus paper blue.
Explanation:
- Sour taste (though you should never use this characteristic to identify an acid in the lab)
- Reacts with a metal to form hydrogen gas.
- Increases the H+ concentration in water.
