Ka is an equilibrium constant for the partial ionization of "weak" acids in water. If such a weak acid is HOAc, the ionization is 
<span>HOAc = H+ + OAc- </span>
<span>and Ka= [H+][OAc-]/[HOAc] </span>

<span>Ka values range from about 10-2 to 10-14 Greater than 10-2, they are essentially strong acids, and below 10-14, they produce no more [H+] in water than would normally be observed.

Ammonia and hydrogen fluoride both have unusually high boiling points due to
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

C. hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

Ammonia and hydrogen fluoride are both able to exhibit hydrogen bonding due to containing nitrogen (in ammonia) and fluoride (obviously in hydrogen fluoride). Remember the unique qualities of NOF. :)

Include two kinds
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion.  Both atoms are joint together by electrostatic interaction and ionic compound sodium chloride is formed.

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive and both bonded atoms connected together through covalent bond.

Why might a metallic compound be mistaken for an ionic compound, based on its physical properties?
devlian [24]

Answer:

(D). Both metallic and ionic compounds can conduct electricity when molten. However, only metallic compounds can conduct electricity in a solid state.

Explanation:

Metallic compound have the ability to conduct electricity. Since they are Metals they have loosely held electrons which can contribute to electricity conduction.

Ionic compound are brittle physically, ionic compound cannot conduct electricity while being in solid state as the ions are held strongly by electrostatic force of attraction, they can only conduct electricity while they are in molten or aqueous state. In molten state they are forming ions, and ions are free to move within the solution and therefore contribute to electricity conduction.
