Answer:
c. Compound 2 is more acidic because its conjugate base is more resonance stabilized
Explanation:
You haven't told us what the compounds are, so let's assume that the formula of Compound 1 is HCOCH₂OH and that of Compound 2 is CH₃COOH.
The conjugate base of 2 is CH₃COO⁻. It has two important resonance contributors, and the negative charge is evenly distributed between the two oxygen atoms.
CH₃COOH + H₂O ⇌ CH₃COO⁻ + H₃O⁺
The stabilization of the conjugate base pulls the position of equilibrium to the right, so the compound is more acidic than 1.
Solid (ice caps)
Liquid (oceans, rivers, lakes, etc)
Gas (clouds)
Electrons move in what is called an electron cloud. Each atom has its own electron cloud associated with it. This region simply represents an area or likelihood within that an electron of corresponding energy can be found within.
Answer:
The bonds prevent ions from moving throughout the crystal, so a solid ionic compound is a poor conductor.
Explanation:
Ionic bonds are those bonds that form between the ions of molecules. It is formed as a result of electrostatic attraction between the molecules or compounds. The ionic bonds that forms between ionic compounds are responsible for certain properties exhibited by them.
Ionic bonds hold the molecules of ionic compounds so tightly that it prevent ions from moving throughout the crystal, hence, a solid ionic compound is a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
