Explanation:

A compound in which there occurs sharing of electrons from atom to another is known as a covalent compound.

For example, atomic number of hydrogen is 1 and atomic number of oxygen is 8.

As electronic distribution of oxygen atom is 2, 6. So, in order to complete its octet it will share its valence electrons with two hydrogen atoms.

Hence, it will form H_{2}O compound which is covalent in nature.

Whereas, a compound in which there occurs transfer of electrons from one atom to another is known as an ionic compound.

For example, atomic number of magnesium is 12 and atomic number of chlorine is 17. So, in order to attain stability Mg donates its valence electrons to chlorine atoms which will form an ionic compound MgCl_{2}.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options compounds are classified as follows.

  • Ionic compound - MgCl_{2} and Na_{2}S
  • Covalent compound - H_{2}O and H_{2}S

MgCl2 is ionic because it is a positive metal bonding with a negative nonmetal. Na2S is ionic for the same reason. H2O and H2S are both covalent because they are two nonmetals bonded together.

How do you write 145,000,000 in scientific notation?
belka [17]

Answer:

\boxed{1.45 \times 10^{8}}

Explanation:

A number in scientific notation has the form N × 10ⁿ

where N is a decimal number called the mantissa and n is an integer called the exponent.

We must have 1 ≤ N < 10

Step 1. Determine the mantissa

Move the decimal place to the left to create a new number between 1 and 10.

145 000 000 ⟶ 1.450 000 00; N = 1.45

Step 2. Determine the exponent.

The exponent is the number of times you moved the decimal to get the mantissa.

You moved the decimal eight places to the left, so the exponent n = 8.

Step 3. Write the number in scientific notation

The number in scientific notation is \boxed{1.45 \times 10^{8}}.

Gnoma [55]
Use blue litmus paper. This is an indicator that can safely determine whether it is a base or an acid by changing color in response to the substance. This color indicates whether it is an acid or a base. Refer to the pH scale to see if the substance is basic or acidic.

What kind of bond will form between the atoms?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

ionic bond:

Bond formed when an atom donates its electron and other atom receives those electrons.

polar covalent:

Bond formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is an electronegativity difference between the two atoms.

Nonpolar covalent:

Bond formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is no electronegativity difference between the two atoms.

Metallic:

Formed between two metals.

So the bond between :

Phosphorus and chlorine-polar covalent bond as it is formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is an electronegativity difference between the two atoms.

Potassium and oxygen -ionic bond as here potassium donates its electron and oxygen receives those electrons

Fluorine and fluorine -Non polar covalent bond as formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is no electronegativity difference between the two atoms.

Copper and aluminum-metallic bond as Formed between two metals.

Carbon and fluorine -polar covalent bond as it is formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is an electronegativity difference between the two atoms.

Carbon and hydrogen --Non polar covalent bond as formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is no electronegativity difference between the two atoms.

Aluminum and oxygen--ionic bond as here aluminum donates its electron and oxygen receives those electrons

Silver and copper --metallic bond as Formed between two metals.
