Answer:
Explanation:
Given parameters:
number of moles magnesium = 6.80mol
number of moles of chlorine = 13.56mol
To find the complete chemical formula, we should obtain the formula of the compound.
Mg Cl
Number of
moles 6.8 13.56
Dividing
by the smallest 6.8/6.8 13.56/6.8
1 2
The formula of the compound is MgCl₂
This is an ionic compound in which Magnesium loses two electrons that would be gained by Cl atoms requiring just an electron each to complete their octet.
Greater absolute charge
- This is because ionic bond results from stronger electrostatic forces of attraction.
- The higher the value of charges q₁ and q₂ the stronger will be the ionic bond.
Rubber, because it doesn’t conduct heat and it is a good insulator
Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A covalent compound is defined as the compound in which sharing of electrons take place between the combining atoms. Generally, when two or more non-metals chemically combine together the it will lead to the formation of a covalent compound.
For example,
and HCl is also a covalent compound.
And, a compound in which transfer of electrons occur between the combining atoms is known as an ionic compound. Whenever, a metal chemically combines with a non-metal then it will always lead to the formation of an ionic compound.
For example, KI is an ionic compound.
Thus, we can conclude that
and HCl are the two substances which are covalent compounds.
