Is P2I4 or Diphosphorus tetraiodide covalent or ionic?

Chemistry

Afina-wow [57]2 years ago

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.

finlep [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

For a substance to dissolve in another, there must be some sort of interaction between the substances.

Recall that like dissolves like. That is, polar substances dissolve polar substances and non polar substances dissolve nonpolar substances.

Hydrocarbons are nonpolar hence they do not dissolve in polar sulphuric acid. Methyl benzoate is polar hence it dissolve in polar sulphuric acid.

Genetic equilibrium is the state in which allele frequencies do<br> not change in a<br> Check it
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Genetic equilibrium is the state in which allele frequencies do

not change in a generation over generation.

Explanation:

Genetic equilibrium can be described as a situation which arises when a certain allele or genotype remains constant for a species generation over generations. Genetic equilibrium can be maintained if no external factors like mutations affect the population of the species. The phenomenon of natural selection and evolution need to be stopped if a genetic equilibrium is to be maintained. Hardy-Weinberg theorem is the mathematical depiction of genetic equilibrium.
