B, only metals. Metallic bonding always occurs between metals of the same element and involves “a sea of mobile electrons”
Answer:
Calcium carbonate is another example of a compound with both ionic and covalent bonds.
Explanation:
In chemistry, an ionic compound is a chemical compound composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding. The compound is neutral overall, but consists of positively charged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions.
3 characteristics of the carbon atom that makes possible the building of variety of biological molecules are:
• Carbon atoms can easily form covalent bonds with nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur and with carbon. The bonds can be single, double or triple between the atoms. This combination of carbon with other elements and with itself results in the formation of huge number of biological molecules.
• The size of carbon atom is very small in comparison to most other atoms. Thus, the bond formed between two carbon atoms is quite short. And the shorter bonds are more stronger than the longer bonds between two atoms, that's why carbon bonds are stable at the different temperatures associated with life.
• Only carbon can form stable four covalent bonds with the other elements, which makes it versatile element to serve as the basic structural component, of the macro-molecules.

Answer:
Only Mn⁺² is present.
Explanation:
- When an aqueous solution of NaCl is added, the Cl⁻ species is introduced. In the presence of Cl⁻, Hg₂²⁺ would precipitate as Hg₂Cl₂.
- When an aqueous solution of Na₂SO₄ is added, the SO₄⁻² species is introduced. In the presence of SO₄⁻², Ba⁺² would precipitate as BaSO₄.
No precipitate formed when either of these solutions were added, thus <u>the sample does not contain Hg₂⁺² nor Ba⁺²</u>.
- Under basic conditions Mn⁺² would precipitate as Mn(OH)₂. A precipitate formed once the solution was made basic, so <u>the sample contains Mn⁺²</u>.
