what criteria are likely to dictate certain pairs of elements to undergo ionic bonding and others covalent bonding?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Paha777 [63]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

If one element is a metal and the other element is a non metal

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed between metals and non metals. The nonmetal atom receives electron(s) from a metal atom to form an ionic substance. This means that ionic substances are basically an ion pair.

Covalent bonds are mostly formed between two nonmetals. These elements share electrons with each other in order to form the compound.

The law of conversion states that mass is never created or destroyed. Explain how this law requires all chemical equations to be
ikadub [295]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Matter as applied to chemical reactions says that matter is neither created nor distroyed, only changed in form. This implies that the mass of substances going into a reaction process must equal the mass of products generated during the reaction process.

Empirically,

∑ mass reactants = ∑ mass products

One can test this idea after balancing a chemical equation by determining the sum of formula weights of reactants and products; then compare. If reaction was properly balanced, the total mass reactants = total mass of products.

Example:

Combustion of Methane =>  CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g)   =>  CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)

Equation Weights =>             16amu + 64amu <=> 44amu +  36amu

Mass Reactants = Mass Products  => 80amu <=> 80amu.

*amu = atomic mass units => sum of atomic weights of elements

A rectangle has a volume of 395cm3. It has a mass of 147g. What is its density? *
LekaFEV [45]

The density of a rectangle : ρ = 0.372 g/cm³

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The volume of rectangle : 395 cm³

Mass : 147 g

Required

The density

Solution

Density is a quantity derived from the mass and volume  

Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume  

Density formula:  

\large {\boxed {\bold {\rho ~ = ~ \frac {m} {V}}}}

ρ = density  

m = mass  

v = volume

Input the value :

ρ = 147 g : 395 cm³

ρ = 0.372 g/cm³

How can so many different substances in the world be made of so few elements?
Mrrafil [7]
Matematically speaking, maybe because:
The number of substances = number of elements + number of different combinations of those elements

A substance that reduces the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is __________.
ioda

A substance that reduces the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is  <u>base</u>.

A base which thus completely dissociates in an aqueous solution is referred to as a strong base. These substances produce one or more hydroxide ions (OH-) per base molecule when they ionize in water. A weak base, on the other hand, only partially splits into its water-soluble ions.

The three definitions of "base" used in chemistry are Arrhenius base, Bronsted base, as well as Lewis base. The fact instead that bases react towards acids is acknowledged by all base definitions.

Therefore, a substance that reduces the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is <u>base</u>.
