Answer:
(a) Covalent bond. NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride)
(b) Ionic bond. LiCl (lithium chloride)
Explanation:
<em>(a) N and F</em>
Nitrogen and fluorine are nonmetals, with high and similar electronegativities, so they form covalent bonds, in which they share pairs of electrons to complete the octet in their valence shell. N has 5 valence electrons so it will form 3 covalent bonds while each Cl has 7 valence electrons so it will form 1 covalent bond. As a result, the empirical formula is NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride).
<em>(b) Li and Cl</em>
Lithium is a metal and Chlorine is a nonmetal. They have different electronegativities so they form an ionic bond, in which Cl gains 1 electron (7 valence e⁻) and Li loses 1 electron (1 valence e⁻). The empirical formula is LiCl (lithium chloride).
Answer:
A substance that neutralizes an acid is a base and that soluble in water is an alkali. However, all bases are not soluble in water. Thus, All alkali are bases but all bases are not alkali.

<h2>Let us predict the gas and liquid products in option </h2>
Explanation:
option 1 : 2 upper H g upper O (s) right arrow 2 upper H g (l) plus upper O subscript 2 (g).
Chemical reaction
It is the reactants react to form products .
Chemical equation
It is the method of representing reaction in terms of moles , specifying states , symbols , molecular formulas etc .
This actually gives the complete info about the reaction .
In the above asked question or any other question we can specify the states by writting :
Solid as "S".
Liquid as "L"
Gas as (g).
Answer:
Mg
Explanation:
Magnesium has a valency of +2
Hello! Your answer would be a gain of electrons and a decrease in positive charge.
Contrary to how it sounds, reduction is actually a gain of electrons. It is part of a set of reactions known as a redox reaction, reduction being a gain of electrons and oxidation being a loss.
With the gain of electrons, the element would become more negative as electrons bring with them a negative charge. Therefore, this would decrease the positive charge.
Hope this helped!
