Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A covalent compound is defined as the compound in which sharing of electrons take place between the combining atoms. Generally, when two or more non-metals chemically combine together the it will lead to the formation of a covalent compound.
For example, 
and HCl is also a covalent compound.
And, a compound in which transfer of electrons occur between the combining atoms is known as an ionic compound. Whenever, a metal chemically combines with a non-metal then it will always lead to the formation of an ionic compound.
For example, KI is an ionic compound.
Thus, we can conclude that and HCl are the two substances which are covalent compounds.
No, within a crystal like structure or ionic lattice of sodium chloride, there are ions of Na and Cl. Na+ and Cl- respectively that are attracted to each other due to their opposite charges. Many of these ions form a crystal structure.
Balancing of chemical equation is essential because of the law of conservation of mass, which states that the mass of a system can not be created or removed.
The second equation is balanced
This is because the number of elements of each atom in the product side equal the number of elements of each atom on the reactant side.
The first equation is not balanced
This is because there is 1 molecule of 
on reactant side as compared to 3 molecules of
To balance the equation we add a coefficient of 3 on sulphuric acid (
) and a coefficient of 3 on hydrogen (
)
Answer:
6CIO2 + 3H2O = 5HCIO3 + HCI
Explanation:
The 2 in CIO2 is tiny, the 2 in H2O is tiny, and the 3 in HCIO is tiny.
The oxidation state of Hydrogen in reactant side is 0 and that in product side is +1. Hence the reaction is oxidation.
