Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Ionic salts are defined as the salts which tend to contain ionic bonds as there occurs transfer of electrons between its combining atoms.
So, when an ionic salt melts or it is dissolved in water then it will dissociate into its respective ions and as electricity is the flow of electrons or ions. Hence, this salt is then able to conduct electricity.
As covalent compounds are insoluble in water so, they do no dissociate into ions. Hence, they do not conduct electricity.
Similarly, metallic and network solids do not dissociate into ions either when melted or dissolved in water. Therefore, they also do not conduct electricity.
Thus, we can conclude that when a white crystalline salt conducts electricity when it is melted and when it dissolves in water then this bond is of ionic type.
Answer:
Base Mg(OH)2 does neutralise the acid and is 12g in excess.
Explanation:
2HCL +Mg(OH)2 -> MgCl2 + 2H20
2 * 36.458 g of HCL react with 58.319 g of Mg(OH)2 to neutralise it.
72.916 HCl reacts with 58.319 g of the base.
So 20 g HCl reacts with (58.319/72.916) * 20 = 16g.
There are 28 g of Mg(OH)2 so the base does neutralise all the acid.
The Mg(OH)2 is 28 - 16 = 12 g in excess.
<h3>
<u>ANSWER</u></h3>
2. Neon, only
<h3>
<u>EXPLANATION</u></h3>
When Na and F combine they form an electron configuration of 2-8. Na electron configuration is 2-8-1 while F is 2-7, so when they form an ionic bond F will gain Na outermost electron to complete its valence shell due to having a higher negativity. Neon has an electron configuration of 2-8 but argon has 2-8-8.
