Covalent bonds exist between two nonmetal elements while ionic bonds exist between a metal and a nonmetal element. In this case, oxygen is a nonmetal and in order to create an ionic bond, the other substance should be a metal. The answer therefore to this problem is calcium.

$\boxed{\left( 1 \right){\text{ calcium}}}$ reacts with oxygen to form ionic bonds.

Further Explanation:

Covalent bonds are the types of bonds that involve the sharing of electrons between the bonded atoms. This bond is usually formed between two or more non-metals.

Ionic bonds are the chemical bonds that involve the transference of electrons from one atom to another. These bonds are generally formed between metals and non-metals. In these types of bonds, ions are formed by the atoms. Cations are formed by the loss of electrons and anions result from the gain of electrons.

Oxygen is a non-metal. In order to form an ionic bond with oxygen, the other element has to be a metal.

Hydrogen, chlorine, and nitrogen are non-metals so these can form covalent bonds with oxygen. But calcium is a metal and it forms ionic bonds with oxygen. Calcium loses two electrons to form ${\text{C}}{{\text{a}}^{2 + }}$ and these electrons are gained by oxygen, resulting in the formation of ${{\text{O}}^{2 - }}$ . The attraction between ${\text{C}}{{\text{a}}^{2 + }}$ and ${{\text{O}}^{2 - }}$ is an ionic bond and the resulting compound is CaO (For structure, refer to the attached image).

QUESTION 3 (a) Ammonium sulphate, (NH),50, is a soluble salt and it is used in agriculture as fertiliser. 5 g of ammonium sulpha

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The equation: (NH₄)₂SO₄ = 2NH4(+) + SO4(-2)

The number of moles = 5 g / 132.14 g/mol = 0.038 mol

The number of molecules = 0.038 X 6.022x10^23 = 2.29x10^23

the number of positive ions present in the ammonium sulphate solution:

2 positive ions for every 1 molecule of (NH₄)₂SO₄

so 2 x 2.29x10^23 = 4.58x10^23

the number of negative ions present in the ammonium sulphate solution

1 negative ion for every 1 molecule of (NH₄)₂SO₄

so 1 x 2.29x10^23 = 2.29x10^23

the total number of ions present in the ammonium sulphate solution

4.58x10^23 + 2.29x10^23 = 6.87x10^23

A covalent chemical bond is one in which _____. a covalent chemical bond is one in which _____. outer-shell electrons of two ato

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

A covalent chemical bond is one in which <u>outer-shell electrons of two atoms are shared so as to satisfactorily fill their respective orbitals</u>.

Explanation:

Covalent bonds are formed between two atoms having their electronegativity difference less than 1.7. In this type of bonding the valence electrons of one atoms forms molecular bond with the valence electrons of another atom. The electrons are mutually shared.

Covalent bond can be non-polar as for example formed between hydrogen and carbon atoms.

Also, covalent bond can be polar in nature as that formed between hydrogen and chlorine atoms because the chlorine atom is more electronegative and hence attracts the electrons more towards itself making density of electrons less on hydrogen atom.

When the pH of a solution changes from a pH of 5 to a pH of 3, the hydronium ion concentration is

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) 100 times the original content.

Explanation :

As we are given the pH of the solution change. Now we have to calculate the ratio of the hydronium ion concentration at pH = 5 and pH = 3

As we know that,

$pH=-\log [H_3O^+]$

The hydronium ion concentration at pH = 5.

$5=-\log [H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=1\times 10^{-5}M$ ..............(1)

The hydronium ion concentration at pH = 3.

$3=-\log [H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=1\times 10^{-3}M$ ................(2)

By dividing the equation 1 and 2 we get the ratio of the hydronium ion concentration.

$\frac{[H_3O^+]_{original}}{[H_3O^+]_{final}}=\frac{1\times 10^{-5}}{1\times 10^{-3}}=\frac{1}{100}$

$100\times [H_3O^+]_{original}=[H_3O^+]_{final}$

From this we conclude that when the pH of a solution changes from a pH of 5 to a pH of 3, the hydronium ion concentration is 100 times the original content.

Hence, the correct option is, (D) 100 times the original content.
