Answer:
1) Ba(OH)₂
2) The correct option is a) they conduct electricity.
Explanation:
To deduce the formula of Barium hydroxide, we have to go to the periodic table and look for the Barium (Ba), which is in group 2 and has an ionic charge of 2+. Hydroxides are not an element that is present in the periodic table is the combination of Oxygen and Hydrogen (OH), and its ionic charge is 1-.
To name this substance, we write the elements that form it, which are Ba OH, then we see the ionic charges that they have, Ba2+ OH 1- and we change these charges giving the 2+ to the OH and the 1- to the Ba. It would look Ba OH₂; we do not write the 1, and as there is a 2, the OH, has to be between brackets so that the final formula is Ba(OH)₂. What we did is balancing the charges of the elements. In other words, we need 2 OH for every Ba. Hydroxides give an electron to balance the Ba ionic charge.
Barium Hydroxide is an ionic compound because ionic compounds are formed by a metal (Ba) and a nonmetal element (OH), ionic compounds are charged, so when they are in an aqueous solution they conduct electricity because their ions move freely in the solution.
Answer:
A link is a fastening unit that attaches two parts of an object together
Different types of links have different characteristics
The answer is C to achieve an octet of valence electrons so they become stable
In this compound (Phosgene) the central atom (carbon is Sp² Hybridized).
Sp, Sp² and Sp³ can be calculated very simply by doing three steps,
Step 1:
Assume triple bond and double bond as one bond and assign s or p to it. In this example carbon double bond oxygen is considered once and let suppose it is s. Now we are having our s.
Step 2:
Count lone pair of electron, each lone pair counts for s and p. In this case there is no lone pair of electron on carbon, so not included.
Step 3:
Count single bonds for s and p. As we have already assigned s to the double bond, now one p for one single bond, and other p for the other single bond.
Result:
So, we counted 1 s for double bond, 1 p for one single and other p for second single bond. As a whole we got,
Sp²
Practice:
You can practice for hybridization of Oxygen in this molecule. Oxygen has 2 lone pair of electrons. (Hint: Sp² Hybridization)
CO2. An ionic compound is a metal and a nonmetal.
