Which of the following pair of elements could not react to form an ionic compound

Chemistry
1 answer:
goldenfox [79]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

c and o

Explanation:

Carbon and Oxygen cannot react to form an ionic compound because the two elements are non-metals.

  • To form an ionic bond, a metal combines with a non-metal through electrostatic attraction of oppositely charged ions.
  • This leads the bond formation.
  • Carbon is a non-metal, with oxygen, they will prefer to form a covalent bond where they share their electrons

A substance that, when dissolved in water, produces a solution that conducts electric current very efficiently is called:
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a strong electrolyte

Explanation:

Let's look at the meaning of the following terms so we can obtain the right answer by means of elimination.

- Strong Electrolyte : A strong electrolyte is a solution/solute that completely, or almost completely, ionizes or dissociates in a solution. These ions are good conductors of electric current in the solution.

- Weak Electrolyte : A weak electrolyte is an electrolyte that does not completely dissociate in aqueous solution. The solution will contain both ions and molecules of the electrolyte. Weak electrolytes only partially ionize in water (usually 1% to 10%)

- Strong ion : Strong ions are cations and anions that exist as charged particles dissociated from their partner ions at physiologic pH. Thus, these ions are “strong” because their ionization state is independent of pH.

Strong Electrolye fits the condition and hence is the correct option.

When beryllium ion combines with carbonate ion, the numbers of each ion are??
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

One of each

Explanation:

Be is in Group 2, so it loses its two valence electrons in a reaction to form Be²⁺ ions.

Carbonate ion has the formula CO₃²⁻.

We can use the criss-cross method to work out the formula of beryllium carbonate.  

The steps are

Write the symbols of the anion and cation.

Criss-cross the numbers of the charges to become the subscripts of the other ion.

Write the formula with the new subscripts.

Divide the subscripts by their highest common factor.

Omit all subscripts that are 1.

When you use this method with Be²⁺ and CO₃²⁻, you might  be tempted to write the formula for the beryllium carbonate as Be₂(CO₃)₂

However, you can divide the subscripts by their largest common factor (2).

This gives you the formula Be₁(CO₃)₁.

We omit subscripts that are 1, so the correct formula is  

BeCO₃

There is one Be²⁺ ion and one CO₃²⁻ ion in a formula unit of beryllium carbonate.

Which type of property can be observed only by changing a substance into a different substance
Nana76 [90]

Chemical Property

<u>Explanation:</u>

When a substance is changed into another substance, may be due to addition of some other substance or removal of water from that substance.

* its identity changes

*its reactivity changes

*reactivity towards water, air and many other substances will change

*its chemical composition changes

and all these changes occurs due to the chemical properties.

If the physical property changes then there will be change in the state of matter, but its boiling point, melting point , reactivity towards water, air and other substances will not change, and it will not lose its identity.
