Answer:
There will be 16 electrons in O2-
Answer is: (3) ionic and molecular.
Ionic compounds are made of ions held together with ionic bonds.
Ionic bond forms when a cation transfers its extra electron to an anion who needs it.
For example compound magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) has ionic bond (the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions).
Magnesium (metal) transfers two electrons (became positive cation) to chlorine (became negative anion).
Molecular compounds are made up of molecules whose atoms are connected with covalent bonds.
Covalent bond is bond between nonmetals.
For example, molecule carbon monoxide CO has covalent bond.
Carbon (C) and oxygen (O) are nonmetals.
Carbon atom and oxygen atom are connected by a triple bond (six shared electrons in three bonding molecular orbitals) that is formed of two covalent bonds and one dative covalent bond.
Answer:
D. Solutions are formed when the water’s polar molecules separate the polar molecules of an ionic or molecular compound.
Explanation:
Solutions are homogeneous mixtures formed by interaction between solutes and solvents.
Water based solutions have water as the solvents and mostly ionic and molecular compounds as their solutes.
Water is a polar solvent that is capable of dissolving many compounds by hydrating them. The molecules of water surrounds the solute and forces them to separate.
