Answer:

Ionic 

If something is a hard solid, that can dissolve in water, and has a high melting point are ionic substances, because they are hard solids due to strong electrostatic force between particles and and they have high melting points because of their strong attraction between the particles which needed more energy in order to break down and melt .....

their one property is to dissolve in water because they are generally non polar which dissolves easily in polar liquids like water.

i hope it helped you....

The half life of radon-222 is 3.8 days. How Much of a 100g sample is left after 15.2 days

professor190 [17]

Answer:

6.2 g

Explanation:

In a first-order decay, the formula for the amount remaining after n half-lives is

$N = \frac{N_{0}}{2^{n}}$

where

N₀ and N are the initial and final amounts of the substance

1. Calculate the number of half-lives.

If $t_{\frac{1}{2}} = \text{3.8 da}$

$n = \frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}} = \frac{\text{15.2 da}}{\text{3.8 da}}= \text{4.0}$

2. Calculate the final mass of the substance.

$\text{N} = \frac{\text{100 g}}{2^{4.0}} = \frac{\text{100 g}}{16} = \text{6.2 g}$

What is a possible quantum number set for an electron in the 2s orbital of a beryllium (Be) atom?

Artist 52 [7]

Answer is: 2,0,0,±1/2.

1) n = 1. The principal quantum number (n) is one of four quantum numbers which are assigned to each electron in an atom to describe that electron's state.

2) l = 0. The azimuthal quantum number is a quantum number for an atomic orbital that determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital.

3) ml = 0. Magnetic quantum number specify orientation of electrons in magnetic field and number of electron states (orbitals) in subshells.

Magnetic quantum number (ml) specifies the orientation in space of an orbital of a given energy and shape . Magnetic quantum number divides the subshell into individual orbitals which hold the electrons, there are 2l+1 orbitals in each subshell.

4) The spin quantum number, ms, is the spin of the electron; ms = +1/2 or -1/2.

What are the major organic products are formed when the following compounds react with methylmagnesium bromide (CH3MgBr), follow

Sliva [168]

Answer:

Major organic products are- (a) propan-1-ol and (b) 2-methylpropan-2-ol

Explanation:

methyl magnesium bromide gives nucleophilic addition reaction with carbonyl group. Because methyl magnesium bromide is a strong nucleophile and carbonyl group is a strong electrophilic center.

Propanal contains an aldehyde group and propanone contains a ketone group. hence they both give nucleophilic addition with methyl magnesium bromide.

Dilute acid is added to protonate the alkoxide produced during nucleophilic addition.

Reactions are shown below.
