Ionic bonds are formed when there is complete transfer of valence electrons between two atoms.
Electronegativity tells the trend of an atom to atract electrons.
You should search for the complete set of rules that indicate whether an ionic or covalent bond happens.
There are two relevant rules to state if whether an ionic bond will happen:
- When the difference of electronegativities between the two atoms is greater than 2.0, then the bond is ionic.
- When the difference is between 1.6 and 2.0, the bond is ionic if one of the elements is a metal.
You need to list the electronegativities of the five elements (there are tables with this information)
Element electronegativity
Cu: 1.9
H: 2.2
Cl 3.16
I: 2.66
S: 2.58
Differences:
Cu / S: 2.58 - 1.9 = 0.68
H / S: 2.58 - 2.2 = 0.38
Cl / S: 3.16 - 2.58 =0.58
I / S: 2.66 - 2.58 = 0.08
Those differences are too low to consider that the bond is ionic.
Then the answer is that none of those atoms forms an ionic bond with sulfur.
Yes because some work harder than others to get their credit for developing the periodic table
The chief advantage of the metric system over other systems of measurement is that it B. is in multiples of 10.
This can be seen in the picture below that shows the prefixes of the metric system.
The answer is a. plenty of water
Answer:
Kb = [OH⁻] . [C₃H₉NH⁺] / [ C₃H₉N ]
Explanation:
The equation for the reaction of trimethylamine when it is dissolved in water is:
C₃H₉N + H₂O ⇄ C₃H₉NH⁺ + OH⁻ Kb
1 mol of trimethylamine catches a proton from the water in order to produce trimethylamonium.
It is a base, because it give OH⁻ to the medium
Expression for Kb (Molar concentration)
Kb = [OH⁻] . [C₃H₉NH⁺] / [ C₃H₉N ]
