The compounds that have covalent bonding as their dominant bonding scheme are diamond and silica.

A covalent bond is formed between two nonmetals. Usually, when two nonmetals combine, electrons are shared between the two atoms involved in the bond.

Now, the solids diamond and silica are predominantly covalent solids. The atoms that combine in diamond are carbon atoms(nonmetals) while the atoms that combine in silica are silicon and oxygen (nonmetals also)

Hence, diamond and silica both have covalent bonding as their dominant bonding scheme.

Answer:

Part 1: 7.42 mL; Part 2: 3Cu²⁺(aq) + 2PO₄³⁻(aq) ⟶ 2Cu₃(PO₄)₂(s)

Explanation:

Part 1. Volume of reactant

(a) Balanced chemical equation.

$\rm 2Na_{3}PO_{4} + 3CuCl_{2} \longrightarrow Cu_{3}(PO_{4})_{2} + 6NaCl$

(b) Moles of CuCl₂

$\text{Moles of CuCl}_{2} =\text{ 16.7 mL CuCl}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{0.200 mmol CCl}_{2}}{\text{1 mL CuCl}_{2}} = \text{3.340 mmol CuCl}_{2}$

(c) Moles of Na₃PO₄

The molar ratio is 2 mmol Na₃PO₄:3 mmol CuCl₂

$\text{Moles of Na$_{3}$PO}_{4} = \text{3.340 mmol CuCl}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mmol Na$_{3}$PO}_{4}}{\text{3 mmol CuCl}_{2}} =\text{2.227 mmol Na$_{3}$PO}_{4}$

(d) Volume of Na₃PO₄

$V = \text{2.227 mmol Na$_{3}$PO}_{4}\times \dfrac{\text{1 mL Na$_{3}$PO}_{4}}{\text{0.300 mmol Na$_{3}$PO}_{4}} = \text{7.42 mL Na$_{3}$PO}_{4} \\\\\text{The reaction requires $\large \boxed{\textbf{7.42 mL Na$_{3}$PO}_{4}}$}$

Part 2. Net ionic equation

(a) Molecular equation

$\rm 2Na_{3}PO_{4}(\text{aq}) + 3CuCl_{2}(\text{aq}) \longrightarrow Cu_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(\text{s}) + 6NaCl(\text{aq})$

(b) Ionic equation

You write molecular formulas for the solids, and you write the soluble ionic substances as ions.

According to the solubility rules, metal phosphates are insoluble.

6Na⁺(aq) + 2PO₄³⁻(aq) + 3Cu²⁺(aq) + 6Cl⁻(aq) ⟶ Cu₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6Na⁺(aq) + 6Cl⁻(aq)

(c) Net ionic equation

To get the net ionic equation, you cancel the ions that appear on each side of the ionic equation.

6Na⁺(aq) + 2PO₄³⁻(aq) + 3Cu²⁺(aq) + 6Cl⁻(aq) ⟶ Cu₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6Na⁺(aq) + 6Cl⁻(aq)

The net ionic equation is

3Cu²⁺(aq) + 2PO₄³⁻(aq) ⟶ Cu₃(PO₄)₂(s)
