Answer:
(3) NaNO₃
Step-by-step explanation:
Sodium nitrate has ionic bonds, because it consists of Na⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions.
However, the nitrate ions have <em>covalent bonds</em> between the O atoms and the central N atoms.
(1) and (2) are <em>wrong</em>. Both N₂O₅ and HCl consist of nonmetals, so they are <em>covalent</em> compounds.
(4) is <em>wrong</em>. NaCl has <em>only ionic bonds</em> between the Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions
The answer to this question would be D. Hydrophilic.
The word hydrophilic mean attracted by water. That means the molecule has a force to attract water molecule, thus be able to dissolve in water. The polarity of the molecule would determine whether a molecule hydrophilic or not.
Its opposite would be hydrophobic which the molecule can't dissolve in water. One example of this would be oil or fat. That is why sometimes it is called lipophilic too.
Haha i’m trying to do the same one i’ll make sure if i find out how too to get back to you!
Answer:
Metallic bonding
Explanation:
Metals have low ionization energies. Therefore, their valence electrons are easily delocalized (attracted to the neighbouring metal atoms). These delocalized electrons are then not associated with a specific metal atom. Since the electrons are “free”, the metal atoms have become cations, and the electrons are free to move throughout the whole crystalline structure.
We say that a metal consists of an array of cations immersed in a sea of electrons
.
The electrons act as a “glue” holding the cations together.
Metallic bonds are the attractive forces between the metal cations and the sea of electrons.
In an NaK alloy, for example, the Na and K atoms contribute their valence electrons to the "sea". The atoms aren’t bonded to each other, but they are held in place by the metallic bonding.
