Answer:

Ionic compounds have a metal and nonmetal.

Ionic compounds are made up of ions.

Explanation:

You did not provide any formulas for me to correct, but:

ionic compounds tend to have metals and nonmetals. (EX: NaCl)You can look at the periodic table to see which elements are metals and which are not.
ionic compounds are made up of ions. Ions are elements that have a charge (Like $Cu^{2+}$ or $O^{-}$ ). To have a correct ionic compound, make sure that the ions inside of it "cancel" each other out.

EX: Na has a +1 charge. Cl has a -1 charge. When they are paired up, they successfully cancel each other out (become neutral) and become the ionic compound NaCl.

The chart below shows you the charge of each element. Make sure the charge of the elements in an ionic compound "cancel" each other out.

The very last chart shows the metals and nonmetals

What is the most likely charge on an ion formed by an element with a valence electron configuration of ns2np4

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

For an element to be stable, it must follow the octet rule: an atom will gain, lose or share electrons until its valence shell is complete with 8 electrons.

An element with the valence electron configuration ns²np⁴ has 6 (2+4) electrons in its valence shell. Thus, in order to fulfill the octet, it will gain 2 electrons. As a consequence, it will form an anion with charge 2-.

Which of the following statements about the ordinary IR spectroscopic regions are TRUE? 1. In general, the IR FUNDAMENTAL region

yaroslaw [1]

Answer: the statements in 1 and 2 are true of IR spectroscopic region.

1. In general, the IR FUNDAMENTAL region has a longer wavelength region than the region we call the ultraviolet (uv) region.

2. We can sense some of the frequencies of the FUNDAMENTAL region of the IR as heat

Explanation:

IR has energy value between 10^-5eV - 10^-2eVwhile

UV has energy value of 4eV - 300eV

IR has low photon energy and cannot alter atoms and molecules while UV has sufficient energy to iodize atoms therefore UV has a higher energy band.

Infrared light falls just outside the visible spectrum, beyond the edge of what we can see as red.

Why don't siblings look exactly alike

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Your genes play a big role in making you who you are. ... But brothers and sisters don't look exactly alike because everyone (including parents) actually has two copies of most of their genes. And these copies can be different. Parents pass one of their two copies of each of their genes to their kids.
