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.

What is the formula for the compound by calcium ions and chloride ions?

dimaraw [331]

To find the ratio of the the combination for the ion, write the charge of the cation as the subscript for the anion, and the charge of the anion as the subscript of the cation. This will make the charges effectively cancel and you will be left with a neutral ionic compound. Remember, that an ionic compound is made up of a metal and a nonmetal.
For Ca2+ and Cl-, you will get the neutral compound to be CaCl₂.

A large cyclotron directs a beam of He++ nuclei onto a target with a beam current of 0.250 mA. (a) How many He++ nuclei per seco

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

a. 7.8*10¹⁴ He⁺⁺ nuclei/s

b. 4000s

c. 7.7*10⁸s

Explanation:

I = 0.250mA = 2.5 * 10⁻³A

Q = 1.0C

1 e- contains 1.60 * 10⁻¹⁹C

But He⁺⁺ Carrie's 2 charge = 2 * 1.60*10⁻¹⁹C = 3.20*10⁻¹⁹C

(A).

No. Of charge per second = current passing through / charge

1 He⁺⁺ = 2.50 * 10⁻⁴ / 3.2*10⁻¹⁹C

1 He⁺⁺ = 7.8 * 10¹⁴ He⁺⁺ nuclei

(B).

I = Q / t

From this equation, we can determine the time it takes to transfer 1.0C

I = 1.0 / 2.5*10⁻⁴ = 4000s

(C).

Time it takes for 1 mol of He⁺⁺ to strike the target =?

Using Avogadro's ratio,

1.0 mole of He = (6.02 * 10²³ ions/mol ) * (1 / 7.81*10¹⁴ He ions)

Note : ions cancel out leaving the value of the answer in mols.

1.0 mol of He = 7.7 * 10⁸s
