What is the covalent bonding of calcium chloride​

Chemistry
1 answer:
algol133 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<u>Calcium chloride does not have a covalent bond , it is an ionic bond (which means donation of electrons takes place )</u>. The charge of calcium ions is +2, while the charge of sodium ions is -1. The molecule of calcium chloride contains one calcium ion (+2) and two chloride ions (-1), resulting in an overall charge of 0, or neutral.

<u>IONIC BONDING IN CALCIUM CHLORIDE</u> (CaCl_2)

Electron sharing produces covalent compounds, while electron donation produces ionic compounds. CaCl_2 is a salt with an ionic bond. This is because calcium takes up an electron to each of the chlorine atoms, resulting in Ca^2^+ions for calcium andCl^- ions for chlorine. At room temperature, it behaves like a normal ionic halide and is solid. Calcium is a metal with a non-metal sulphate bond.

<u>Thus , Calcium chloride have ionic bonds present on them . No covalent bonds takes place in calcium chloride.</u>

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

parts of outer space where there is no air or atoms

Explanation:

Matter is made up of atoms. Similar to how your cells make your body, atoms make up all and everything. This since outer spaces doesn't have atoms, it doesn't have matter as well (at least not the normal matter, it does have dark matter, which is a whole can of worms that should not be opened)

Which substance is the oxidizing agent in this reaction? 2CuO+C→2Cu+CO2 Express your answer as a chemical formula.
Alja [10]
The oxidizing agent is the one that is reduced in the reaction. In this reaction, the charge of Cu falls from +2 to zero charge (neutral atom in the right side). Hence, CuO is the oxidizing agent. The reducing agent, the one being oxidized is carbon from zero charge to +4. The answer is CuO.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

<em>Sonar can be used to measure the depth of the seabed or the distance of any object, animal or a man-made vessel any other objects </em>

Explanation:

  • A sound wave or sound pulse is projected into the water.
  • If any object tends to come in the way of the pulse, an echo is produced or the signal is reflected back.
  • A transducer measures the strength of this signal and hence determines the depth of the object or the sea.

This is much better way of measuring distances under the sea since light alone is not able to pierce through the ocean after a certain distance.

A powerful sonar blast can help in taking multiple measurements at a time, while even a laser will find it difficult to reach below 3 km of depth.
