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.

I think copper should since copper is a metal and sulfur is a nonmetal which means that their electronegativities will be different enough to create an ionic bond.

I hope this helps.  let me know if anything is unclear.

Which models of the atom in task 1 are not supported by the results of the hydrogen gas experiment? For each of these models, ex
kramer

Answer:

Thomson  placed two magnets on either side of the tube, and observed that this magnetic field also deflected the cathode ray. The results of these experiments helped Thomson determine the mass-to-charge ratio of the cathode ray particles, which led to a fascinating discovery, minus the mass of each particle was much, much smaller than that of any known atom. Thomson repeated his experiments using different metals as electrode materials, and found that the properties of the cathode ray remained constant no matter what cathode material they originated from. From this evidence, Thomson made the following conclusions:

The cathode ray is composed of negatively-charged particles.

The particles must exist as part of the atom, since the mass of each particle is only ~1/2000 the mass of a hydrogen atom.

These subatomic particles can be found within atoms of all elements.

While controversial at first, Thomson's discoveries were gradually accepted by scientists. Eventually, his cathode ray particles were given a more familiar name: electrons. The discovery of the electron disproved the part of Dalton's atomic theory that assumed atoms were indivisible. In order to account for the existence of the electrons, an entirely new atomic model was needed.

Igoryamba

Answer:

internal fertilization

Explanation:

Internal fertilization enhances the fertilization of eggs by a specific male. Fewer offspring are produced through this method, but their survival rate is higher than that for external fertilization.

Which of these bonds is the weakest?​
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The first one has the weakest bond

Explanation:

The number of atoms together shows how strong the bonds in the second bond it is 4 bonds, the third is 8 bonds, the 4th one is 4 bonds thus why the first bond is the weakest.
