Answer:
If one element is a metal and the other element is a non metal
Explanation:
Ionic bonds are formed between metals and non metals. The nonmetal atom receives electron(s) from a metal atom to form an ionic substance. This means that ionic substances are basically an ion pair.
Covalent bonds are mostly formed between two nonmetals. These elements share electrons with each other in order to form the compound.
Answer:
Non metals join to form covalent bond.
Explanation:
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.
Both atoms bonded through covalent bond.
In Cl₂ both chlorine atoms are bonded through the covalent bond.
Hey there!
Ca + H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + H₂
Balance PO₄.
1 on the left, 2 on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of H₃PO₄.
Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + H₂
Balance H.
6 on the left, 2 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of H₂.
Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂
Balance Ca.
1 on the right, 3 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of Ca.
3Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂
Our final balanced equation:
3Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂
Hope this helps!
Barium nitrate and methane (CH4) are both soluble. They both will dissolve in water, however, barium nitrate will dissociate becoming barium 2+ ions and nitrate becoming NO3 1- ions. All nitrates are soluble and dissociate. CH4 is a weak base and does dissolves but doesn't dissociate. So in solubility terms.... they are both equally soluble just one happens to dissociate into its cations and anions. Hope this helps!
