Is P2I4 or Diphosphorus tetraiodide covalent or ionic?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Afina-wow [57]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: covalent bond.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.

As P_2I_4 or Diphosphorus tetraiodide is made up of phosphorous and iodine which are both non metals , it is a covalent bond.

A cool, yellow-orange flame is used to heat the crucible. Would this affect the mass of the crucible? If so, how?
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Usually, it would not affect the crucible, but depending on the temperature of the flame the enamel of the crucible may begin to melt and stick to the metal object being used to handle the crucible. This tiny amount that is melted off can cause very small changes in the original mass of the crucible, which although it is almost unnoticeable it is still there. Therefore, the answer to this question would be yes.

Pls hurrry<br>what are greenhouse effect 1 paragraph and come friends
Kay [80]
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. When the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases include water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and some artificial chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth. This process maintains the Earth’s temperature at around 33 degrees Celsius warmer than it would otherwise be, allowing life on Earth to exist.

Based on the solubility observations, which of the following pairs of cations could be distinguished by the addition of sodium c
Licemer1 [7]

Based on the solubility observations, barium & aluminum could be distinguished by the addition of sodium chloride to the solutions.

<h3>What happens when NaCl is added to a solution?</h3>
  • The ionic link that held sodium and chloride ions together is broken when water molecules force the ions apart.
  • The sodium and chloride atoms are encircled by water molecules after the salt compounds are separated. After that, the salt dissolves and forms a homogenous solution.
  • In order to keep patients from dehydrating, sodium chloride, an important nutrient, is employed in healthcare. It is employed as a spice to improve flavor and as a food preservative. Additionally, sodium chloride is employed in the production of polymers and other goods. Additionally, it is used to de-ice sidewalks and roadways.
  • Adding water to sodium chloride results in a physical change because no new product is created.
