Explanation:
Mg(s) + Cr(C2H3O2)3 (aq)
Overall, balanced molecular equation
Mg(s) + Cr(C2H3O2)3(aq) --> Mg(C2H3O2)3(aq) + Cr(s)
To identify if an element has been reduced or oxidized, the oxidation number is observed in both the reactant and product phase.
An increase in oxidation number denotes that the element has been oxidized.
A decrease in oxidation number denotes that the element has been reduced.
Oxidation number of Mg:
Reactant - 0
Product - +3
Oxidation number of Cr:
Reactant - +3
Product - 0
Note: C2H3O2 is actually acetate ion; CH3COO- The oxidatioon number of C, H and O do not change.
Oxidized : Mg
Reduced : Cr
Polar covalent bond- a bond where atoms are unevenly shared due to a larger difference in electronegativity of the bonded elements.
Non-polar covalent bond- These are bonds between elements with a low difference in electronegativity. Electrons are shared equally in these bonds between the elements.
Ionic bonds- have such large difference in electronegativity that they take/give electrons to the element they are bonded to. They do not share electrons at all. Bonds between a non-metal and a metal.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The molecule with the strongest intramolecular bond is HF. Hydrogen fluoride is the answer due to the strong and highly electronegative nature of Fluorine.
- Fluorine is the most electronegative element in nature.
- When it combines with other substances, due to its electronegative property, it draws most of the electrons closest to itself in the bond.
- This tendency and ability makes the shared electrons closer the fluorine in the bond.
- The strong polarization that ensues confers a very strong covalent bond pair on the bond formed.

Bonds are forces of attractions between atoms formed by the transfer of electrons or sharing of electrons. Metallic bond is a type bond that exist in metallic structures where the atoms of the metals attracts the sea of electrons in the structure.It is these metallic bonds that results to the malleability , ductility and conductivity of metals because in that the sea of electrons makes them conduct electricity. In addition the atoms of metals in the structure are ions which can slide past each other in the sea of electrons.
