The most likely bond between element X and Iodine would be an ionic, or electrovalent, bond. Iodine has seven electrons in its outer shell, also known as the valence shell. To become perfectly stable, it needs only a single electron from another element. Hence no sharing of electron takes place (usually), which is the condition required for it to be covalent bonding. Hence it's most likely an ionic bonding/
Chlorine will have the slowest rate of diffusion because it has the highest relative molecular mass of 71 followed by O₂ with 32, then Neon 20 then He with 2
The rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its relative molecular mass.
Answer:
Chemical change.
Explanation:
When it is heated it decomposes into mercury and oxygen gas. The mercury oxide reactant becomes the silver color of mercury. Hence, a color change can be noticed throughout the reaction.
Table salt = ionically bonded molecule, sodium transfers one valence electron to chloride, NaCl
Table sugar = covalently bonded molecule
Sorry, that’s all I know.
