How do covalent compounds differ from ionic compounds?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bad White [126]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1. Ionic bonds result from transfer of electrons, but covalent bonds are formed by sharing.

2. Ions are arranged in a three-dimensional array (like crystals). Covalently bonded substances exist as discrete molecular units.

3. Ionic compounds often dissociate into ions in solution, but covalently bonded molecules retain their molecular identity in solution.

Hope this helps :)

Los isomeros ópticos
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Los isómeros ópticos son dos compuestos que contienen el mismo número y tipo de átomos, y enlaces (es decir, la conectividad entre los átomos es la misma), y diferentes disposiciones espaciales de los átomos, pero que tienen imágenes especulares no superponibles. Cada estructura de imagen especular no superponible se denomina enantiómero.

Which of the following reactions is balanced?
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

B. CaCl₂ + H₂CO₃  → CaCO₃ + 2HC

Explanation:

A balanced reaction has the same number of atoms in the both sides of the reaction. In the options:

A. CaCl₂ + H₂CO₃ → 2CaCO₃ + HCI

In this reaction there is 1 Ca in reactants and 2 in products -<em>The reaction is unbalanced-</em>

<em />

<h3>B. CaCl₂ + H₂CO₃  → CaCO₃ + 2HCl </h3>

There is 1 Ca is both sides, 2Cl, 2H, 1C and 3 Oxygens -<em>The reaction is balanced</em>

<em></em>

C. CaCl₂ + 2H₂CO₃ → CaCO₃ + HCI

There is 1 Ca in both sides but 2Cl in reactants and 1 in Cl -<em>The reaction is unbalanced-</em>

<em />

D. 2CaCl₂ + H₂CO₃ →CaCO₃ + HCI

There are 2 Ca in reactants and 1 in Ca -<em>The reaction is unbalanced-</em>

Where does the energy for almost all ecosystems come from
bonufazy [111]

The Sun is the major source of energy for organisms and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Producers such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use the energy from sunlight to make organic matter from carbon dioxide and water. This establishes the beginning of energy flow through almost all food webs.
