Thus BeF2 is of most covalent character.
Anyways, covalent/ionic character is a bit tricky to figure out; we measure the difference in electronegativity of two elements bonding together and we use the following rule of thumb: if the charge is 0 (or a little more), the bond is non-polar covalent; if the charge is > 0 but < 2.0 (some references say 1.7), the bond is polar covalent; if the charge is > 2.0 then the bond is ionic. Covalent character refers to smaller electronegativity difference while ionic character refers to greater electronegativity difference.
Now, notice all of our bonds are with F, fluorine, which has the highest electronegativity of 3.98. This means that to determine character we need to consider the electronegativities of the other elements -- whichever has the greatest electronegativity has the least difference and most covalent character.
Na, sodium, has electronegativity of 0.93, so our difference is ~3 -- meaning our bond is ionic. Ca, calcium, has 1.00, leaving our difference to again be ~3 and therefore the bond is ionic. Be, beryllium, has 1.57 yielding a difference of ~2.5, meaning we're still dealing with ionic bond. Cs, cesium, has 0.79, meaning our difference is again ~3 and therefore again our compound is of ionic bond. Lastly, we have Sr, strontium, with an electronegativity of 0.95 and therefore again a difference of roughly 3 and an ionic bond.

they will both do the exact same thing, as long as they are bothh identical
The deltaHrxn = -243 kJ/mol the deltaHrxn of CH4(methane) = -802 kJ/mol
The fuel that yields more energy per mole is METHANE. The negative sign merely signifies the release of energy. Thus, 802 kJ/mol is greater than 243 kJ/mol.
The fuel that yields more energy per gram is HYDROGEN. Here is the computation:
deltaHrxn = (-243 kJ/mol)(1 mol/2.016 g H2) <span>= -120.535714286 kJ/g or -121 kJ/g
</span>deltaHrxn of CH4(methane) = (-802 kJ/mol)(1 mol/16.04 g)
<span>= -50 kJ/g

As discussed the negative sign serves as the symbol of released energy. Thus, 121 is greater than 50.
S because As is not a non-metal
Answer:
the answer is b
Explanation:
Physical changes affect a substance's physical properties but do not alter its chemical structure. Types of physical changes include boiling, clouding, dissolution, freezing, freeze-drying, frost, liquefaction, melting, smoke and vaporization.
