Salt dissolved in water is a solution, therefore _____.
1 answer:
Answer: Correct options are as follows.
- salt is not chemically bonded to water.
- salt and water retain their own chemical properties.
Explanation:
When salt is dissolved in water then it means that it is a physical change as salt has completely dissociated into ions but they are not chemically combined to the water molecules.
As a result, both salt and water will retain their chemical properties.
For example, NaCl when dissolved in water will dissociate as follows.
Only the particles of salt have evenly distributed in water.
And, when a components of a salt chemically combine with another substance then it will form a new compound.
Therefore, we can conclude that salt dissolved in water is a solution, therefore:
- salt is not chemically bonded to water.
- salt and water retain their own chemical properties.

There are three carbon and 8 hydrogen present in propane molecule. The Lewis structure of propane is shown as:
Three molecules of such carbon atoms bound to eight molecules with hydrogen atoms make up the organic complex propane molecule.
It is known that carbon has 4 valence electrons and hydrogen has one valence electron. Carbon needs 4 extra electrons to complete its octet hence, it will share its electrons with with 4 hydrogen atom and complete its octet.
Carbon will be formed 4 bond . Three bond with hydrogen and one bond with carbon atom.
