I know what you're asking but I don't think the question is stated properly. Technically, an atom will not join with an "oxide" ion; i.e., the oxide ion is an atom of oxygen to which two electrons have been added. An oxide ion will add to 2 K ions or 1 Ca ion. The K ion has lost just one electron so it takes two of them to equal the 2- charge on the oxide ion whereas the Ca ion has lost two electrons and it takes only one of them to equal the charge on the oxide ion.
The answer is (3) metallic. Cobalt is a transition metal, so it can't be covalent bonds, which bond non-metals, therefore eliminating choice 1 and 2. Ionic bonds are between metals and non metals, but solid cobalt does not have a non metal, eliminating choice 4 as well. Metallic bonds are bonds between metals, therefore the answer is (3) metallic.
Answer:
State the major concepts behind the kinetic molecular theory of gases.
Demonstrate the relationship between kinetic energy and molecular speed.
Apply the kinetic molecular theory to explain and predict the gas laws.
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
Molecules contain two or more atoms and are held together by covalent bonds, whereas compounds are held together by ionic bonds. Two or more elements bonded together through ionic attraction. ... The atoms within a compound also must be different from each other, whereas a molecule can consist of only one element
