If its a solid it will stay and resist but if it isn´t then it will return to its original shape
In order to determine whether a bond is ionic or covalent, you need to know whether or not it is completely composed of nonmetal atoms or both metal and nonmetal ions.
Barium is a metal and Oxygen is a nonmetal, therefore there is no possible way they could bond unless they were attracted to opposite charges. Specifically, only if Barium becomes a cation and Oxygen becomes an anion then could they bond.
Now cation and anion both have the word "ion" in them, so therefore it must be an ionic bond.
Now we need to know the definition of a bond. A bond is formed when two elements are joined together by sharing their valence electrons.
Therefore, your answer should be:
Ionic, because valence electrons are shared.
Answer:
1 mol
Explanation:
The mass of CoCl2 is 129.83. 130 divided by the mass is 1. This is to convert the mass given to mols that exist in the sample.
Answer:
X5Y2
Explanation:
% composition of X = 52.2%
% composition of Y = (100 - 52.2) = 47.8%
This means that there are 52.2g of X and 47.8g of Y in the compound
To calculate the empirical formula of the compound, we first convert the gram value to mole value by dividing by their molar masses.
X = 52.2g/42.3g/mol = 1.234mol
Y = 47.8g/96.7g/mol = 0.494mol
Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest value (0.494mol)
X = 1.234mol ÷ 0.494mol = 2.49
Y = 0.494mol ÷ 0.494mol = 1
We multiply each value by 2
X = 2.49 × 2 = 4.98
Y = 1 × 2 = 2
The simple ratio of X:Y is 5:2, hence, their empirical formula is X5Y2.
You can prove this by letting the water evaporate or using a instrument that can measure the solids in a liquid.
