Thus BeF2 is of most covalent character.
Anyways, covalent/ionic character is a bit tricky to figure out; we measure the difference in electronegativity of two elements bonding together and we use the following rule of thumb: if the charge is 0 (or a little more), the bond is non-polar covalent; if the charge is > 0 but < 2.0 (some references say 1.7), the bond is polar covalent; if the charge is > 2.0 then the bond is ionic. Covalent character refers to smaller electronegativity difference while ionic character refers to greater electronegativity difference.
Now, notice all of our bonds are with F, fluorine, which has the highest electronegativity of 3.98. This means that to determine character we need to consider the electronegativities of the other elements -- whichever has the greatest electronegativity has the least difference and most covalent character.
Na, sodium, has electronegativity of 0.93, so our difference is ~3 -- meaning our bond is ionic. Ca, calcium, has 1.00, leaving our difference to again be ~3 and therefore the bond is ionic. Be, beryllium, has 1.57 yielding a difference of ~2.5, meaning we're still dealing with ionic bond. Cs, cesium, has 0.79, meaning our difference is again ~3 and therefore again our compound is of ionic bond. Lastly, we have Sr, strontium, with an electronegativity of 0.95 and therefore again a difference of roughly 3 and an ionic bond.

Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
Production of Hydrocarbons from Natural Gas is as stated below:
Natural gas liquids include propane, butane, pentane, hexane, and heptane, but not methane and not <u>always</u> ethane, (<em>may include it </em><em><u>sometimes</u></em><em>.</em>) s<em>ince these hydrocarbons need refrigeration to be liquefied.</em>
As the question tells you, you need to use the formula
% mass= mass of solute/ mass of solution x 100
mass solute= 30.0 g
mass of solution= 30.0 + 270.0= 300.0 g
% mass= 30.0/ 300.0 x 100= 10%
answer is B
Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
Zn2+ is the zinc ion in aqueous solution.
Zinc is a transition metal.
These metals are in the middle of the periodic table and have similar properties.
Explanation:
Net ionic between HCl and the buffer equation
CH3COOH --> acetic acid, CH3COO- acetate , H+ proton from HCl
there is neutralization of the acetate, and an increase in acid
the ionic equation
CH3COO-(aq) + H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) --> CH3COOH(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Net ionic:
CH3COO-(aq) + H+(aq) --> CH3COOH(aq).
