Answer:
The process of dissolving can be endothermic (temperature goes down) or exothermic (temperature goes up).
When water dissolves a substance, the water molecules attract and “bond” to the particles (molecules or ions) of the substance causing the particles to separate from each other.
The “bond” that a water molecule makes is not a covalent or ionic bond. It is a strong attraction caused by water’s polarity.
It takes energy to break the bonds between the molecules or ions of the solute.
Energy is released when water molecules bond to the solute molecules or ions.
If it takes more energy to separate the particles of the solute than is released when the water molecules bond to the particles, then the temperature goes down (endothermic).
If it takes less energy to separate the particles of the solute than is released when the water molecules bond to the particles, then the temperature goes up (exothermic).
Explanation:
Ca-Cl is an ionic bond. We know this because the difference between their electronegativities is 2.16.The electronegativity tells us which atom will attract the electron more than the other. Hence, chlorine attracts the electron a lot more than the calcium.A difference of more than 1.6 (or 1.7 depending on the source) implies that the electrons are so unevenly shared, that the bond is ionic, rather than polar covalent.
Answer:
Option B. Malleable, Conductor, High melting point, Lustrous
Explanation:
Mg has a higher melting point because of the strong electrostatic force of attraction between the magnesium ions (Mg^2+). The rest properties listed are all general properties of metals
