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 :)

List four metals that will mot replace hydrogen in an acid
sdas [7]

The four metals that will not replace hydrogen in an acid are Cu, Ag, Au, Hg.

Explanation:

  • As Copper Cu lies below the hydrogen, this is why it is less reactive and ca not replace Hydrogen from its compound.
  • Silver Ag also lies below the hydrogen and therefore it is less reactive to displace Hydrogen.
  • Gold Au becomes less reactive than Hydrogen due to its placement below Hydrogen acid.
  • Mercury Hg is less reactive than Hydrogen

2. Heterogeneous -  composed of dissimilar parts which can be separated easily and which are unevenly distributed in the mixture

3.Homogenous - even distribution of parts throughout the whole mixture; not easily separated into individual components.

4. Product - the substance created as a result of a chemical reaction

Products are the final substance that created as a result of a chemical reaction.

5. Reactant - one of the starting substances (ingredients) that is involved in a chemical reaction

Reactants are the starting substance that takes part in a chemical reaction.

6. Solute - the substance that is being dissolved.

A Solute is a substance that is being dissolved in the solvent to make a solution.
