NaCl consists of a salt, which is a nonmetal (Na) and Cl, which is a metal. When a nonmetal and a metal are combined, it makes the compound ionic.

Answer is: 1) NaCl.

NaCl is sodium chloride, ionic compound.

Ionic compounds are made of ions held together with ionic bonds.

Ionic bond forms when a cation transfers its extra electron to an anion who needs it.

Electronegativity (χ) is a property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons.

Δχ(Na-Cl) = 3.2 - 0.95 = 2.25; electronegativity difference between sodium and chlorine.

When the electronegativity difference is greater, the bond polarity is increasing.

Other compound have covalent polar bonds.

C4H9OH(g)+O2(g)→CO2(g)+?H2O(l) what coefficient should be placed in front of H2O to balance the hydrogen atoms?

slava [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

To balance the hydrogen atoms, we check the number of hydrogen on the left side, this is equal to the 10 hydrogen atoms we have in the alkanol.

Now, on the right hand side, we can see we only have two hydrogen atoms in the water molecule. Now, to make equal the number of hydrogen atoms on both sides, we simply multiply the number of hydrogen there by 5 to make it 10 too

What is the reaction between aspirin and hydrochloric acid

faust18 [17]

According to Bronsted-Lowry reaction- an acid is any substance that donates a proton (H+ ion) to another substance hence these two substance are acid aspirin (acetylsalicyclic acid) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). And there are two pairs - an acid with a corresponding conjugate base and a base with a corresponding conjugate acid. These pairs are called conjugate acid-base pairs.

There are two types of nucleic acids, dna and rna. nearly all organisms use dna, not rna, as the central repository for genetic

Leya [2.2K]

Found the choices. Pls see attachment.

The statements that explains this phenomenon are:
1) DNA contains adenine as one of its nitrogenous bases.
2) DNA has a double-stranded structure that ensures an accurate mechanism of duplication.
