<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D. All the above

  • Covalent compounds are always poor conductors of electricity while ionic compounds conduct electricity well when melted or dissolved.
  • Covalent compounds can be solid, liquid or gas, but ionic compounds are solids.
  • In covalent compounds the elements present are usually close together on the periodic table whereas in ionic compounds they are usually well separated.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u>Ionic compounds are compounds that are formed from strong electrostatic interactions between ions.</u> Ionic bonding occurs between a nonmetal, which acts as an electron acceptor, and a metal, which acts as an electron donor. The atoms involved in ionic bonding lose or gain electrons and form positively or negatively charged ions.
  • <em><u>Ionic compound are good conductors of electricity both in molten and aqueous form,. while covalent compound are poor conductors of electricity.</u></em>
  • <u>Covalent compounds on the other hand are compounds that have bonds where electrons are shared between atoms.</u> These types bonds mostly occur between nonmetals or between two atoms of the same element.

Chemistry an atom of strontium has at least four different isotopes. what is different between an isotope of 86sr and an isotope
lions [1.4K]
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons.

Remember that all the atoms of an element have the same number of protons. So the only difference between isotopes of an element is the number of neutrons.

86 Sr means that the mass number of this isotope is 86. Also, remember that the mass number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons.

87 Sr means that the mass number of this isotope is 87.

So, 86 Sr and 87 Sr differ 1 neutron.

Answer: 1 neutron
