In order to determine whether a bond is ionic or covalent, you need to know whether or not it is completely composed of nonmetal atoms or both metal and nonmetal ions.

Barium is a metal and Oxygen is a nonmetal, therefore there is no possible way they could bond unless they were attracted to opposite charges. Specifically, only if Barium becomes a cation and Oxygen becomes an anion then could they bond.

Now cation and anion both have the word "ion" in them, so therefore it must be an ionic bond.

Now we need to know the definition of a bond. A bond is formed when two elements are joined together by sharing their valence electrons.

Therefore, your answer should be:

Ionic, because valence electrons are shared.

Which car has the highest kinetic energy if each car is traveling at a speed of 1 m/s? Explain how you arrived at your answer.
KiRa [710]

Car D

Because it is the heaviest. Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the velocity and mass of the object. All the cars have the same velocity. But Car D has the most mass. So, it has most kinetic energy, because more the mass more the energy.

NH4+H2O →NH3+H3O<br><br> Which one is acting weaker base?
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

NH3

Explanation:

In solution, they are in equilibrium. NH4+ acts as a bronsted Lowry acid and donates an H to become NH3, and NH3 acts as a bronsted lowry base and accepts an H. In this pair, NH3 is a weak base, which gets its basic character due to the presence of lone pair of nitrogen and its ability to donate it.
