Bonds formed between atoms can be classified as ionic and covalent
Ionic bonds are formed between atoms that have a high difference in the electronegativity values.
In contrast, bonds formed between atoms that have a difference in electronegativity lower than the ionic counterparts are polar covalent bonds. If the atoms have very similar electronegativities, they form non-polar covalent bonds.
In H2S, the S atom is bonded to 2 H atoms. The electronegativity of H = 2.2 and S= 2.56. Since the difference is not high the bond formed will be covalent (polar covalent).
Answer:
Option C. hydroxide ions (OH-).
Explanation:
A base is a substance which dissolves in water to produce hydroxide ion (OH-) as the only negative ion. It therefore means that a base contains more hydroxide ions (OH-).
Answer:
substance is related to the average kinetic energy of the particles of that substance
Explanation:
Answer:
D.) They often form hydroxide ions.
Explanation:
They generate hydroxide ions in water. they are soapy to touch and bitter in taste. they conduct electricity.
(all bases have hydroxide ions)
