Here are the solutions:
For NaCl, there would be one electron transferred from the sodium atom, now producing a cation to the chlorine atom resulting in a chlorine anion. Forming ionic bond.
For CaS, there would be 2 electrons transferred from an atom of Ca to S, this can be obtained by simply looking at the ionic charges and or combining capacities of Ca.
For BaO, likewise, 2 electrons that are valence electrons are transferred from Ba to Oxygen.
In the ionic compound of KBr, the atom of K, potassium donated its one valence electron to Br, in need of it to achieve a stable octet, and produce the chemical bond.
Finally, LiF, a single valence electron is transferred from a metal atom of Li to F, for both of the atoms that would form the ionic bond to achieve a stable octet, and or full electron shell.

Which characteristic is a property of water?
Rus_ich [418]

Answer: The correct answer is option (A).

Explanation:

Polar molecules are molecules in which formation of partial charges takes place due to which dipole moment gets created in a molecule. Molecules with polar bonds that s bond with partly ionic character. And water is of the example of polar molecule.

Electronegative oxygen atom in water molecule attracts the electron bond pair towards itself which generates partial negative charge on oxygen atom and partial positive charge on both hydrogen atoms.

Where as water has higher value surface tension due to strong intermolecular association of the water molecule due to presence of hydrogen bonding.And it is more denser is liquid state than in its solid state.

Hence,the correct answer is option (A).

A compound has a molar mass of 90. grams per mole and the empirical formula CH2O. What is the molecular formula of this compound
k0ka [10]

Answer:

C₃H₆O₃

Explanation:

Data:

EF = CH₂O

MM = 90. g/mol

Calculations:

EF Mass = (12.01 + 2.016  + 16.00) u  = 30.03 u

The molecular formula is an integral multiple of the empirical formula.

MF = (EF)ₙ

n = \dfrac{\text{MF Mass}}{\text{EF Mass }} = \dfrac{\text{90. u}}{\text{30.03 u}} = 3.00  \approx 3

MF = (CH₂O)₃ = C₃H₆O₃
