Ionic compound are those compounds which are made up of ions. The ion which has tendency to loose electrons is said to cation (positive charge) such as metals whereas ion which has tendency to gain electrons is said to anion (negative charge) such as non-metals.

Calcium nitrate is quite soluble in water due to very low lattice enthalpy in comparison to other ionic compound. With lower lattice enthalpy, less energy is required for the dissociation of calcium nitrate and it get dissolves in water than other three compounds. Moreover, hydration energy is higher for calcium nitrate which make its solubility higher in water than other ionic species.

Thus, $Ca(NO_{3})_{2}$ is correct answer.

How many O atoms are in 4C₆H₁₂O₆

ipn [44]

Number of O atoms : 24

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

C₆H₁₂O₆ compound

Required

Number of atoms

Solution

A molecular formula shows the number of atomic elements in compound.

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of the atoms

Glucose-C₆H₁₂O₆ is composed of 3 elements, namely C, H, and O.

The number of atoms in a compound can usually be seen from the subscript number after the atom and the reaction coefficient shows the number of molecules

So number of O atoms :

= 4 x 6 = 24 atoms

What does air have to do with light refraction?

-BARSIC- [3]

When light travels from air into water,it slows down,causing it to change directions slightly
