Ionic bonds are formed when there is complete transfer of valence electrons between two atoms.
Electronegativity tells the trend of an atom to atract electrons.
You should search for the complete set of rules that indicate whether an ionic or covalent bond happens.
There are two relevant rules to state if whether an ionic bond will happen:
- When the difference of electronegativities between the two atoms is greater than 2.0, then the bond is ionic.
- When the difference is between 1.6 and 2.0, the bond is ionic if one of the elements is a metal.
You need to list the electronegativities of the five elements (there are tables with this information)
Element electronegativity
Cu: 1.9
H: 2.2
Cl 3.16
I: 2.66
S: 2.58
Differences:
Cu / S: 2.58 - 1.9 = 0.68
H / S: 2.58 - 2.2 = 0.38
Cl / S: 3.16 - 2.58 =0.58
I / S: 2.66 - 2.58 = 0.08
Those differences are too low to consider that the bond is ionic.
Then the answer is that none of those atoms forms an ionic bond with sulfur.
Dmitri Mendeleev is the scientist who first developed the periodic table.
He is a Russian chemist and inventor who formulated the periodic law and created the periodic table of elements. He corrected some of the properties of the elements. Now, we can easily locate the elements we wanted to identify. With the help of Mendeleev, studying chemistry is not that difficult because he tried to simplify some of the concept that was complex before.
Answer:
it tells us of the specific amount of energy required to change the state of one mole of a substance either from solid to liquid or liquid to gas and vice versa without change in temperature
Answer:
B. Line 2 has a mistake
Explanation:
1. All electromagnetic waves are made of both electric and magnetic fields (hence the name electromagnetic).
2. All electromagnetic waves are transverse, and not longitudinal.
3. All electromagnetic waves can travel through space because they do not need particles to travel (like sound waves).
4. Electromagnetic waves all travel at the speed of light (299 792 458 m/s).
