<span>The answer is 1. Carbon dioxide has two covalent bonds amid every oxygen atom and the carbon atom. When molecules are balanced, though, the atoms pull similarly on the electrons and the control distribution is uniform. Symmetrical molecules are therefore nonpolar.</span>
Answer: pOH = 3.13
Ba(OH)2 is a very basic substance. The general formula for pOH is - log(OH)
Barium Hydroxide produces 2 moles of OH for every mole of Ba(OH)2 present in the solution.
0.00037 M = 3.7 * 10^-4 Ba(OH)2 will produce 2 *0.00037 M of OH-
OH- = 2* 0.00037 = 0.00074
pOH = - log(0.00074) = 3.13
A good feeling, but i'm not sure what it's called
The correct answer is a metal atom forms a cation, and a nonmetal atom forms an anion. This is because metals are less electronegative than nonmetals and will therefore give electrons to nonmetals. Atoms that give up electrons will have a positive charge therefore becoming a cation while atoms that accept electrons will have a negative charge therefore becoming an anion.
Ions that have the same charge can't be attracted to each other since it takes a positive and negative charge to cause attractive forces.
A less electronegative atom will transfer electrons to a more electronegative atom.
A metal (cation) can pull electrons from another metal (not an ion) but that does not form an attractive force between the two metals (You will learn more about this when you go over reduction potentials, redox reactions, and electrochemistry).
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
