For each of the following compounds, state whether it is ionic or covalent, and if it is ionic, write the symbols for the ions i
kupik [55]

Answer :

Covalent compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound.

The covalent compound are usually formed when two non-metals react.

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

All the polyatomic ions always form an ionic compound.

Polyatomic ions : It is a charged species that composed of two or more atoms and these charged species are bonded by the covalent bond.

For the given options:

Option A:  KClO_4

This compound is formed by the combination of potassium, K^+ which is a metal and ClO_4^- ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option B:  Mg(C_2H_3O_2)_2

This compound is formed by the combination of magnesium, Mg^{2+} which is a metal and C_2H_3O_2^{-} ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option C:  H_2S

Hydrogen and sulfur, both are non-metals and they will form a covalent compound.

Option D:  Ag_2S

This compound is formed by the combination of silver, Ag^{+} which is a metal and sulfur, S^{2-} which is a non-metal. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option E:  N_2Cl_4

Nitrogen and chlorine, both are non-metals and they will form a covalent compound.

Option F:  Co(NO_3)_2

This compound is formed by the combination of cobalt, Co^{2+} which is a metal and NO_3^{-} ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Whats the si unit chemist use to measure the amount of an element substance?
Westkost [7]
The SI unit for the amount of substance present is the mole.

The mole is defined as the amount of substance that has the same amount of particles as there are atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12. Mathematically, the moles of a substance may be computed using:

moles present = mass of substance / molecular mass of substance

What volume of lead (of density 11.3 g/cm3) has the same mass as 330 cm3 of a piece of redwood (of density 0.38 g/cm3)?
zimovet [89]

Answer:

The sample of lead has a volume of 11.1 cm³

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

x cm³ lead has a density of 11.3 g/cm³

it has the same mass as 330cm³ of a piece of redwood with density 0.38g/cm³

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate mass of the piece of redwood

Density = mass/volume

mass = density * volume

Mass of the piece of redwood = 0.38 g/cm³ * 330cm³ = 125.4 grams

Since the sample of lead has the same mass, it also has a mass of 125.4 grams

<u>Step 3</u>: Calculate volume of the lead

Density = mass/ volume

Volume = mass/ density

Volume of lead = 125.4g / 11.3g/cm³ = 11.097 cm³≈11.1 cm³

The sample of lead has a volume of 11.1 cm³
