Question

Mason compare the properties of two compounds magnesium oxide is an ionic compound and hydrogen peroxide is not an ionic compound there for both compounds most likely

Answer 1

Answer:

the correct answer is D

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer is: can dissolve in water.

Magnesium oxide (MgO):

1) does not have molecular structure.

2) it is not higly reactive, it is physically and chemically stable at high temperatures.

3) has very high boiling point (around 3600°C), because strong ionic bond between magnesium cations (Mg²⁺) and oxygen anion (O²⁻).

4) dissolve in water, because it has ionic bond.

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂):

1) have molecular structure.

2) it is higly reactive, it is not physically and chemically stable.

3) has low boiling point (around 150°C), because weakcovalent bonds.

4) dissolve in water, because it has polar bond.
