Answer:

Caesium atoms will form positively charged ions.

Explanation:

Due to them having one electron in their outer orbit, it is very likely that they will give that electron away to form an octet and become stable. Hence, since they lose an electron, they lose a negative charge, and in comparison to their former non-ion self, they have gained a positive charge.

Hence, they will form positively charged ions.

Hope this helped!

Which compound contains both ionic and covalent
musickatia [10]

Answer:

(3) NaNO₃

Step-by-step explanation:

Sodium nitrate has ionic bonds, because it consists of Na⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions.

However, the nitrate ions have <em>covalent bonds</em> between the O atoms and the central N atoms.

(1) and (2) are <em>wrong</em>. Both N₂O₅ and HCl consist of nonmetals, so they are <em>covalent</em> compounds.

(4) is <em>wrong</em>. NaCl has <em>only ionic bonds</em> between the Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions

How is chemical bonding useful to our lives?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Three types of chemical bonds are important in human physiology, because they hold together substances that are used by the body for critical aspects of homeostasis, signaling, and energy production, to name just a few important processes. These are ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and hydrogen bonds.

How do the chemical characteristics of carbon affect the characteristics of organic molecules?
Tom [10]

Answer:

The chemical characteristics of carbon affect the characteristics of organic molecules due to its tetravalent nature. It has four valence electrons in which it shares with other elements in order to form an octet configuration.

Carbon atoms are also capable of forming double and triple bonds with other atoms. These properties help determine the functional group present and gives us a knowledge of the chemical features such as polarity, melting and boiling present in the compound.

based on the general trends on intermolecular forces, rank c2h5oh, hcl, and c3h6 in order of increasing boiling point.
nikklg [1K]
The answer is HCl, C3H6 and C2H5OH. Hydrochloric acid has the lowest boiling point among the three choices since it only has weak dipole-dipole and Van der Waal's forces between molecules which are much weaker than the forces of attraction present in propane and ethanol. Ethanol has the highest since the hydrogen bonding present in ethanol make it hard to break the bonds.
