<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.

Vesna [10]

Answer:

A) They all have 12 protons.

Explanation:

Magnesium has an atomic number of 12 which means it has 12 protons. All Magnesium atoms have 12 protons, the neutrons however may differ which produces things called isotopes where the atoms have same protons but neutrons change.

Keep in mind the atomic number is unique to each element, so 12 atomic number will always be Magnesium, 1 will always be Hydrogen and so on.....

HELPPP simply the expression!!!!
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

\frac{3}{ \sqrt{3} }  \times  \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{3} }  =  \frac{3 \sqrt{3} }{3}  =  \sqrt{3}

when there is a radical in the denominator, we should rationalize (mutiply the denominator and numerator by the radical) to get rid of the radical in the denominator.

Acetic acid (HC2H3O2, Ka=1.8x10^-5) is a weak acid. Calculate the pH of an aqueous solution of .25M acetic acid.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: The pH of an aqueous solution of .25M acetic acid is 2.7

Explanation:

HC_2H_3O_2\rightarrow H^+C_2H_3O_2^-

 cM              0             0

c-c\alpha        c\alpha          c\alpha  

So dissociation constant will be:

K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}

Give c= 0.25 M and \alpha = ?

K_a=1.8\times 10^{-5}

Putting in the values we get:

1.8\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(0.25\times \alpha)^2}{(0.25-0.25\times \alpha)}

(\alpha)=0.0084

[H^+]=c\times \alpha

[H^+]=0.25\times 0.0084=0.0021

Also pH=-log[H^+]

pH=-log[0.0021]=2.7

Thus pH is 2.7
