Answer:

d. there are no forces of attraction between ions and nonpolar molecules.

Explanation:

Solubility is determined by the principle , "like dissolves like" .

i.e. , if a compound is polar then it will dissolve in a polar compound only , and

if a compound is non - polar then it will dissolve in a non - polar compound only .

Ionic compound , are polar in nature , i.e. , have a positive and negative charge , polar solution can only dissolve in polar ,

As , there will be interaction between the opposite charge , and hence will dissolve .

And , in case of a polar and non polar solution , there won't be any interaction , and hence will not dissolve .

Select all that apply.When the products of a reaction are hotter than the reactants

andrezito [222]

When the products of a reaction are hotter than the reactants, an exothermic reaction is happening. An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy to the surroundings. The energy released should be more than what is absorbed in order to maintain the reaction.

CaHeK987 [17]

<span>An exothermic reaction is one in which there is the production of heat whereas an endothermic reaction is one in which heat is absorbed. For the choices above, the answer would be letter B. Ice melting in water and an ice pack turning cold absorbs heat which is why it is an endothermic reaction. Exploding fireworks and gasoline burning gives off heat which is why it is an exothermic reaction.</span>

When two fluorine atoms bond together in F2, what type of covalent bond do they form?

Angelina_Jolie [31]

The correct statement is " A single bond, because they overlap orbitals to share one pair of electrons." A fluorine atom is unstable with 7 electrons in its valence shell and so needs one more electron to achieve stability. This is according to the octet rule which states that an atom will gain or lose electrons until there are 8 electrons in its valence shell. So each fluorine donates an electron to form a single pair and the $F_2$ achieves a noble gas configuration.
