In order to determine whether a bond is ionic or covalent, you need to know whether or not it is completely composed of nonmetal atoms or both metal and nonmetal ions.
Barium is a metal and Oxygen is a nonmetal, therefore there is no possible way they could bond unless they were attracted to opposite charges. Specifically, only if Barium becomes a cation and Oxygen becomes an anion then could they bond.
Now cation and anion both have the word "ion" in them, so therefore it must be an ionic bond.
Now we need to know the definition of a bond. A bond is formed when two elements are joined together by sharing their valence electrons.
Therefore, your answer should be:
Ionic, because valence electrons are shared.
Answer:
Elements only contain one type of atoms while compounds contain two or more types of atoms.
Explanation:
An example of an element is sodium --> Na (only Na atoms)
An example of a compound can be water --> H2O (contain H and O atoms)
*But the particles within a compound are all the same.
When
Carboxylic Acid is treated with
Alcohols in the presence of
acid as a catalyst it produces corresponding
Esters. This reaction is called as
Esterification.
Also, this reaction is a reversible reaction and the ester formed can also hydrolyze to produce Carboxylic acid and Alcohol. This reverse reaction is called as
transesterification.
The formation of
Ethyl Acetate from
Acetic Acid and
Ethanol in the presence of acid is shown below,
Explanation:
Moving from left to right across a period, the atomic radius decreases. The nucleus of the atom gains protons moving from left to right, increasing the positive charge of the nucleus and increasing the attractive force of the nucleus upon the electrons.
