<h2> $NH_4OH$ contains both covalent and ionic bonds.</h2>

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element or the metal and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element or non metal.

a. $NCl_3$ contain covalent bonds as they are made up of non metals only.

b. $NaF$ contain ionic bonds as they are made up of sodium metal and fluorine non metal.

c. $HCN$ contain covalent bonds as they are made up of non metals only.

d. $NH_4OH$ contain ionic bonds between $NH_4$ and $OH$ and covalent between N and H in $NH_4^+$

If a sample of air in a school container was heated, would the percentage of oxygen in the air increase, decrease, or remain unc

Viktor [21]

Answer:

increase

Explanation:

Let's suppose we have a sample of air in a closed container. We heat the container and we want to predict what would happen to the pressure.

According to Gay-Lussac's law, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.

Thus, if we increased the temperature of the air by heating it, its pressure would increase.

If a sample of air in a closed container was heated, the total pressure of the air would increase.

Using the Brønsted theory, classify the following as either an acid or a base by placing the compound in the correct bin.

guapka [62]

Answer : The Bronsted-Lowry theory was not against the Arrhenius theory, rather it was just a modification to the previous theory of acids and bases. Hydroxide ions are considered as bases because they have the tendency to accept hydrogen ions from acids and form water.

An acid was the one which produces hydrogen ions in solution because it reacts with the water molecules by giving a proton to them.

In a nutshell, he described bases as hydrogen acceptor and acids as hydrogen donors.

How does the average temperature change as the latitude decreases from the poles to the equator

igor_vitrenko [27]

As the earth is in the form of a sphere, the angle of incidence of the sun's rays at the earth's surface increases from the equator towards the poles and therefore the amount of heat received on a GIVEN AREA diminishes in the same direction. Temperature is therefore normally hottest near the equator and coolest near the poles.
