B) ionic bond

(although in reality, every bond is fundamentally the sharing of a pair of electron. but due to unmutal electonegativity, the molecule becomes polar)

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An ionic bond is defined as the bond formed due to transfer of electron(s) from one atom to another.  

An ionic bond will always be formed between a metal and a non-metal.

For example, sodium metal on donating its one valence electron to chlorine atom will lead to the formation of NaCl compound.

This is because an atom which loses its valence electrons (metals) acquires a positive charge and another atom which gains the electrons (non-metals) acquires a negative charge.  

Hence, these opposite charges strongly gets attracted towards each other forming a strong bond.

Whereas in a covalent bond, there will be sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

For example, an O_{2} molecule is formed due to sharing of electrons between the two oxygen atoms.

Thus, we can conclude that a bond between a positive and negative ion called an ionic bond.

The molecules of a substance must have what characteristics in order to be flexible
Goryan [66]
Answer:
            <span>The molecules of a substance which must have the <u>a</u></span><u>bility to move past one another</u> are said to be flexible.

Explanation:
                   Those substances are said to be flexible which can be bent without breaking. There are many substances which are hard in nature but still can be bent. The hardness of such materials is due to strong interactions between the molecules and the flexibility comes due to their amorphous backbone. Therefore, greater the crystalline level of macromolecules lesser is the flexibility and greater the amorphous character greater is the flexibility and vice versa. Also, the flexibility of polymers is increased by adding plastisizers in it. Plastisizers make the hard polymers flexible by breaking the crosslinkers and enabling the macromolecules to move past one another.

</span><span>
</span><span>Li⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq) + H⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻(aq) → Li⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq) + H₂O(l)</span><span />

<span>Explanation:
</span>

<span>1) Combine the cation Li⁺ (aq) with the anion Cl- (aq) to form LiCl(s).
</span>
<span>LiCl is a solid soluble substance, a typical ionic compound. So, it will reamain as separate ions in the product side: Li⁺ + CL⁻</span>

<span>2) Combine the anion OH⁻ with the cation H⁺ to form H₂O(l).
</span>
<span>Since, the ionization of H₂O is low, it will remain as liquid in the product side: H₂O(l)</span>

<span>3) Finally, you can wirte the total ionic equation:
</span>
Li⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq) + H⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻(aq) → Li⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq) + H₂O(l)

How many electrons are in the highest occupied energy level of these atoms?
Yuliya22 [10]
Excuse me not giving an explanation; I haven't even learned chemistry before. I usually give explanations for math/english.

I think it would be for flourine: 7
aluminum: 8
can't help with the rest...
sorry!
