Ionic compounds are formed by the bonding of non-metals to metals. Because inonic bonds involve electon transfer, the result is a mixture of ions; positive and negative, following the laws of electrostatics, like charges attract. These ions then form a giant structure (lattice) of ionic bonds and it is because of this that ionic compounds are solids (unless dissolved in water) and have extremely high melting and boling temparatures. In additions, beucase of the fixed placement of ions (charged particles) in a lattice, in the solid state ionic compounds don't conduct electricity very well but if dissolved in water (aqueous solution) the ions are free to move and carry a current.
Answer:
74.10g/mol
Explanation:
The mass of one mole of Ca(OH)₂ is the molar mass of the compound.
To solve this problem, we add the atomic masses of the species in the compound;
Atomic mass of Ca = 40.078g/mol
O = 15.9994g/mol
H = 1.0079g/mol
So;
Molar mass = 40.078 + 2(15.9994 +1.0079 ) = 74.10g/mol
1. Silicon is in the same group and also has 4 valence electrons.
2. covalent
3. 1
4. Wood
6. 1s22s22p2
7. Covalent
Those questions were somewhat simple. Questions #5 and #8 I'm not certain of and if you have any kind of textbook or course material, it'd be beneficial to look at it. I hope you were able to figure out the answer to Question #4 was "Wood", otherwise your teacher must be slacking :P. I'll try to figure out the answers to #5 and #8 and let you know what I figured out.
B, mode since mode represents the data is the most frequent in the whole set, which in this case is 8cm
Group 16 must gain 2 electrons to become stable as stated in my other answer
Hope this helped
