The answer is (1) HI. H and I are both nonmetals, and remember that a molecular compound is one in which covalent bonds hold atoms together, and covalent bonds typically form between nonmetals. The other three choices represent ionic compounds (metal and nonmetal).

What is the relationship between the concentration and the rate of the reaction?

zalisa [80]

Answer:

When the concentration of all the reactants increases, more molecules or ions interact to form new compounds, and the rate of reaction increases. When the concentration of a reactant decreases, there are fewer of that molecule or ion present, and the rate of reaction decreases.

Why do you think steeples and roofs might appear green, but a copper square does not?

Masteriza [31]

Because the copper roofs, have been outside for a while and oxidization has occurred.
When metals become oxidized they rust, but when copper becomes oxidized, it turns greenish.
So copper roofs oxidize and turn green from being outside and a copper square doesn’t if it’s inside.

Identify the ion ratios needed to form neutral compounds from the ions below. The metal ion (cation) is listed first, and the no

Natasha2012 [34]

To figure out the ratios of these compounds, it is important to remember that the charge of these compounds must be <em>neutral</em>.

So in order to make them neutral, you must have specific ratios:

$Na^{+}: Br^{-} =1:1$ ; This is true because they both have a charge of magnitude of 1.

$Al^{3+}: Cl^{-}=1:3$ ; We need 3 chlorine atoms because we need to balance out the charge from the 3+ charge of aluminum - therefore since chlorine has a 1- charge, we need 3 atoms.

$Mg^{2+}: O^{2-}=1:1$ ; The charges of the magnesium (2+) are balanced with the oxygen charge (2-).

$Al^{3+}: O^{2-}=2:3$ ; This is correct because if charges are like this, you must find the least common factor in order to know the ratio. The LCF is 6, therefore, for the atom with a 3+ charge, you need 2 of them, and for the atom with a 2- charge, you need 3 of them. This keeps the charge neutral.
