How do I indicate if the element is ionic or covalent?

Chemistry
1 answer:
vampirchik [111]4 years ago

Answer:

There is a couple different ways to determine if a bond is ionic or covalent. By definition, an ionic bond is between a metal and a nonmetal, and a covalent bond is between 2 nonmetals. So you usually just look at the periodic table and determine whether your compound is made of a metal/nonmetal or is just 2 nonmetals.

Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. How many electrons does an atom of oxygen need to become stable?
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Two electrons

Explanation:

According to the octet rule, atoms must bond to each other, sharing electrons among themselves in an attempt to complete their valence shell (last layer of the electrosphere). In other words, an atom becomes stable when it has 8 electrons in its valence shell.

Oxygen atoms have six electrons in their valence shell, so to achieve the stability suggested by the octet rule (eight electrons), these atoms share two electrons, forming one oxygen gas (O₂) molecule.

write net ionic equations for the reaction, if any, that occurs when aqueous solutions of the following are mixed. a. ammonium s
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

SO₄²⁻(aq) + Ba²⁺(aq) ⇒ BaSO₄(s)

Explanation:

Let's consider the molecular equation that occurs when aqueous solutions of ammonium sulfate and barium nitrate are mixed.

(NH₄)₂SO₄(aq) + Ba(NO₃)₂(aq) ⇒ BaSO₄(s) + 2 NH₄NO₃(aq)

The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and insoluble species.

2 NH₄⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) + Ba²⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) ⇒ BaSO₄(s) + 2 NH₄⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq)

The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction and the insoluble species.

SO₄²⁻(aq) + Ba²⁺(aq) ⇒ BaSO₄(s)
