sulfur hexafluoride ( SF6 ) is ionic bond

Bingel [31]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

No, It's a molecular or covalent compound

Explanation:

Let remember the concept of a ionic bond:

The Ionic bond is when it's transfered all of the valence electrons of the atoms. This always result in charged ions (positive and negative) and it's usually given between a metal and non metal element. The metal loses electrons (has a positive charge) while the non metal gains electrons (negative charges). For example Sodium and Fluorine to form the Sodium Fluorine (Na+ and F-)

In the case of SCl6 this is not ocurring. For starter, S and Cl are both non metals, so it's very unlikely that a transfer of all ions occurs. What it occurs in this case is another kind of bond, which is called covalent bond

A covalent bond is when two atoms <em>share</em> their electrons between them to form a stronger bond and result in a compound. In this case, the outer electrons are in the vicinity or the atoms, and then, begins to share those electrons and form a new bond and product.

In the case of SCl6, the 6 electrons of the S form a bond with one electron of each chlorine, sharing those electrons and they form the bond and a new compound.

This is something similar to what happens to the molecule of water. Therefore SCl6 it's covalent.

In order to accomplish work on an object there must be a force exerted on the object and it must move in the direction of the force. ... For the special case of a constant force, the work may be calculated by multiplying the distance times the component of force which acts in the direction of motion.

Gases are very easy to compress. The best explanation for this is that
Simora [160]

Answer: gaseous molecules are far apart

Explanation:

One of the states in which matter exists is gas. Gases are made of up molecules that are far apart, travelling randomly and rapidly within the containing vessel.

Hence, they are easy to compress whereby they occupy limited space as the gaseous molecules are closely packed in vessels like cylinders and transported to places where they may be needed.

Which statement best describes what happens when a person sees an orange t-shirt?
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Orange light reflected from the t-shirt enters human eyes.

Explanation:

Human eyes and brain are altogether able to detect the color of the object by translating the light which is reflected by the object and transmitted by the light receptors in the eyes ad brain translate light to color.

The objects are able to absorb some colors and reflect others on the basis of their wavelength, The reflected colors are detected by our eyes and brain and objects appear to be a particular color. like here, the orange color is reflected by the t-shirt and enters in human eyes.
