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.

Balance the following equations. Do not include the states of matter.<br><br> (a) C + O2 → CO
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

C + O2 → CO2

Explanation:

C + O2 → CO ----------------- (1)

from equ (1) on reactant side, C has 1 mole, O has 2 moles

from equ (1) on product side, C has 1 mole, O has 1 mole

Thus, to balance the equation, O should have 2 moles

C + O2 → CO2

What happens to the ionizing rate if the steps of ionizing polyprotic acid increases?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

<h3>An acid that contains more than one ionizable proton is a polyprotic acid. The protons of these acids ionize in steps. The differences in the acid ionization constants for the successive ionizations of the protons in a polyprotic acid usually vary by roughly five orders of magnitude.</h3>

Which of these statements is not true about chemical reaction rates
grin007 [14]

Answer: The statement (B) is not true about chemical reactions.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction rate is affected by the several factors few of which are temperature, concentration of reactants, surface area etc.

In a chemical reaction, if temperature is increased then the rate of reaction will increase because it will increase the average kinetic energy of the reactant molecules. Thus, large number of molecules will have minimum energy required for an effective collision.

It is known that increasing the amount of reactants will increase the rate of reaction.

Therefore, rate of reaction will change if concentration or temperature is changed.

Hence, the statement (B) is not true about chemical reactions.
