The Octet Rule states that many chemical compounds tend to form bounds. True or False?
True.
When acids and bases react they form compounds called salt which are made of metals and nonmetals true or false?
Yes, it is correct.
When ions having a positively charge form bonds with ions having a negative charge the charge on the resulting compound is?
The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.
Why do halogens form compounds with alkali metals?
Because halogens form negative ions, alkali metals form positive ions; both are reactive elements and an electrostatic attraction exist.
What do magnesium ions do?
Magnesium ions have a charge of 2+ and will react with negative ions to form ionic compounds with an overall charge of 0.
Do ions form electrically positive compounds?
The positive ions and negative ions attract each other. This attractive force is an ionic bond. Each positive ion balances the charge of one negative ion so overall, the compound is electrically neutral. P.S. This is from my textbook. Good luck. :)
How many covalent bonds does hydrogen form in electrically neutral compounds?
Hydrogen forms one covalent bond in electrically neutral compounds.
How many covalent bonds does nitrogen form in electrically neutral compounds?
Hydrogen forms three covalent bonds in electrically neutral compounds.
How many covalent bonds nitrogen form in electrically neutral compounds?
Hydrogen forms three covalent bonds in electrically neutral compounds.
When ions having a positive charge form Bond with ions having a negative charge the charge on the resulting compounds is?
false
How can an ionic compound made up of charged particles can be electrically neutral?
Ionic compounds countain both positive and negative ions (they attract to form bonds) Due to this they will balance and become electrically netural
What has positive ions and can form ionic compounds?
Metals form positive ions and form ionic compounds with negative ions.
How do ions form electrically neutral compounds-?
When ions come together, they do so in a way that balances out the charges on the ions.
Are radicals electrically neutral?
Radicals have an electrical charge, hence why they do ionic bonds to form ionic compounds.
Does sodium form a negative ion in its ionic compounds?
No: sodium forms a positive ion in its ionic compounds.
True or false it is impossible for the electrons in a battery to travel form the positive to negative terminal?
false
Do the properties of elements change when combined to form compounds true or false?
no they dont chane
