Which is the most accurate description of ionic and covalent bonding?

Chemistry

Ionic Bonding: 
This type of bonding occurs when atoms want to fulfil their valence shells by taking/giving electrons to other atoms. This, leads to completed valence shells in most cases and ionisation of both elements. The opposite charges cause the elements to stick together because opposites attract. 

Covalent Bonding: 
This type of bonding occurs when electrons are shared between atoms to each fill up their own valence shells by sharing. The balance between the attraction forces and repulsion forces between the shared electrons is called covalent bonding. 

Hope I helped :)

What elements does lithium resemble (in terms of electrons) when it loses 1 electron?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Li atoms readily give up one electron to form positively charged, Li+ ions. These ions have the same stable electron configuration as the noble gas helium. All Group 1 atoms can lose one electron to form positively charged ions.

You have 16.7 grams of hydrogen and 15.4 grams of oxygen in a synthesis rxn. Which is the limiting reagent?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

oxygen is limiting reactant

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 16.7 g

Mass of oxygen = 15.4 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂   →   2H₂O

Number of moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 16.7 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 8.35 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 15.4 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.48 mol

Now we will compare the moles of both reactant with product,

                 

                             H₂           :          H₂O

                              2            :            2

                             8.35        :            8.35

                             O₂           :          H₂O

                               1            :            2

                             0.48        :        2×0.48 = 0.96 mol

The number of moles of water produced by oxygen are less so it will limiting reactant.

Hi!! please help :( lots of points !
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

<u><em>Structure:</em></u>

<em>Differences-  </em>A polymer is a collection of a large number of molecules whereas a monomer is a single molecule.

A monomer is a single molecule, which has the ability to chemically bond with other monomers in a long chain. A polymer is a chain that is made when monomers bind with other monomers.

<em>Similarities-</em>  They are both molecules

<u><em>Properties:</em></u>

<em> Differences- </em>Monomers have polyfunctionality, which is the capacity to form chemical bonds to at least two other monomer molecules. Polymers are chemically unreactive, solids at room temperature, malleable, tough, and are electrical insulators.

<em>Similarities- </em>They both makeup larger forms of matter.

<u><em>Intermolecular Forces</em></u>

<em>Differences: </em>Polymers are held together by covalent bonds, hydrogen bonds, and dispersion bonds. Monomers are <u><em>only</em></u> held together by hydrogen bonds.

<em>Similarities: </em>They can both be bonded together by hydrogen bonds.
