- <span>they are always formed by a cation and a anion
- they transfer electrons rather than shared
- all are binary ionic compounds are solids
- they are neutral i.e. no charge</span>
You haven't shown the structural formula but it's either an Alkene(double bond c=b between 2 carbons) or an alkane
If there is 1 carbon it is methane (methene is not possible as a carbon cannot double bond with itself)
If there are 2 carbons it could be ethane or ethene
If there are 3 carbons it could be propane or propene
If there are 4 carbons it could be butane or butene
If there are 5 carbons it could be pentane or pentene
Etc.
E.g ethane E.g. Ethene

Explanation:
<span>Sulfur Hexachloride
SCl6 So now we count the number of valence electrons each has by seeing what column it's in, (1-8) not counting the columns of the transition metals.
Since Sulfur is in the 6th and Chlorine is in the 7th, and there are 6 chlorines, we can add up all their valence electrons:
6*1+7*6=48 valence electrons.
But remember that electrons come in pairs, either in bonds or as lone pairs. So I usually divide the valence electron number by 2 and just think about placing pairs. It's up to you, but I think it's convenient since we can count "1" in our mind each time we place a bond or a electron pair. So we need to place 24 pairs/bonds.
So we can guess that sulfur is a central atom and draw out a bond from sulfur to each chlorine. Since Sulfur is in the 3rd row it can use d-orbitals to break the octet rule. So when we bond all the chlorines onto sulfur we get:
(see the figure)
and
</span><span>So we made 6 bonds, that means we used up 12 electrons, so if you're counting (AND YOU SHOULD BE!) you have 36 electrons or simply 18 electron pairs left to place. Now let's give chlorine a neutral charge.</span>
<span>The relationship between the amount of space between particles and the state of matter is that if the distance between the particles is very very less or closely packed) then it said to be a solid , If the distance between the particles is very less (more than that of solid) then the matter is a liquid & If the distance between the particles is less (more than that of liquid) then it is said to be gaseous. By this we conclude that when the amount of space between the particles varies then the states of matter (Solid , Liquid , Gas) also differs.</span>
