Answer:
C) The compound is largely ionic with A as the cation.
Explanation:
Pulings proposed the method to determine if the compound is ionic in nature or covalent in nature , by finding the difference between the electronegativity of the respective cation and anion .
The ion with higher electronegativity is the anion and the ion with lower electronegativity is the cation.
The electronegativity difference above 1.7 make the compound ionic in nature.
Hence, from the question ,
A is the cation and B is the anion.
And the electronegativity difference above 1.7 so the compound is ionic in nature.
Answer:
metals is the simplest form of crystalline solid
Most likely the carbonic acid im guessing H2CO3 undergoes thermal decomposition
H2CO3 ===> H2O + CO2
