Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A covalent compound is defined as the compound in which sharing of electrons take place between the combining atoms. Generally, when two or more non-metals chemically combine together the it will lead to the formation of a covalent compound.
For example, 
and HCl is also a covalent compound.
And, a compound in which transfer of electrons occur between the combining atoms is known as an ionic compound. Whenever, a metal chemically combines with a non-metal then it will always lead to the formation of an ionic compound.
For example, KI is an ionic compound.
Thus, we can conclude that and HCl are the two substances which are covalent compounds.
Explanation:
The halogen family and noble gases are similar in just one particular way, they are groups of non-metals. All members of these two groups are categorized as non-metals.
Here are some of the differences between them;
- Halogens have 7 electrons in their outermost shell whereas noble gases have 8 electrons in theirs.
- Halogens are highly reactive elements, noble gases are non-reactive.
- Halogens are made up of electronegative elements where as noble gases are neither electropositive nor electronegative.
Answer:
A = Metallic Bond
B = Strong bonding, strong conductor, high melting and boiling points
Explanation:
Since the bond is between two metals (located in groups 11 and 12), they would experience metallic bonding. Metallically bonded molecules have high melting and boiling points due to the strength of the metallic bond. They also experience strong electrical current due to the there delocalized electrons.
Answer:
last choice
Explanation:
oxidation and reduction can be defined in terms of adding or removing oxygen to a compound
oxidation is gaining oxygen
reduction is to loss oxygen
Answer:
Compared to the charge of proton the charge of an electron is negative.
Explanation:
An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.
All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.
For example
The carbon have six protons and six neutrons so its atomic mass is 12 amu and atomic number is six.
Electron:
The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.
Symbol= e-
Mass= 9.10938356×10-31 Kg
It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.
Neutron and proton
While neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.
Symbol of proton= P+
Symbol of neutron= n⁰
Mass of proton=1.672623×10-27 Kg
Mass of neutron=1.674929×10-27 Kg
