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 :)

A gas occupies 56 L at 73°C. What volume will the gas occupy if the temp. cools to 0°C?
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

44.2 L

Explanation:

Use Charles Law:

\frac{V1}{T1} =\frac{V2}{T2}

We have all the values except for V₂; this is what we're solving for. Input the values:

\frac{56 L}{346K} =\frac{V2}{273K}   -  make sure that your temperature is in Kelvin

From here, we need to get V₂ by itself. To do this, multiply by 273 on both sides:

\frac{56*273}{346} = V2

Therefore, V₂ = 44.2 L

It's also helpful to know that temperature and volume are linearly related. So, when temperature drops, so will volume and vice versa.

]According to Schrodinger's work with electrons and their orbital paths, what can be determined about the electrons of an atom?
kumpel [21]
Schrodinger developed a famous equation that allows the solutions for electron wave functions to be found given a specific potential. For the case of an atom, Schroginger's equation allows the determination of electron wave functions. These wave functions tell us how electrons are distributed in space around the atom.

Can a solid defuse into both a liquid and a solid
MariettaO [177]
Diffusion of one state of matter into another: Solid can diffuse in liquid. When sugar is added to water, whole water becomes sweet without stirring it because of diffusion of sugar into water. ... Carbon dioxide and oxygen are the two gases in air which dissolves in water by diffusion.

What is the hybridization of the central atom in CO2? Hybridization = What are the approximate bond angles in this substance? Bo
const2013 [10]

Answer:

sp

Explanation:

Hybridization is the combination of atomic orbitals to yield equivalent hybrid orbitals of appropriate energy which can participate in bonding.

In every compound there is a central atom. The central atom is usually the least electronegative atom in the molecule. In this case the least electronegative atom in the molecule is carbon.

The bond between carbon and oxygen in CO2 is intermittent between a pure double and a pure triple bond. Hence, carbon is sp hybridized.
