Is CO a ionic compound or a pure covalent compound?
I'm not sure what you mean by "purely covalent", since the ionic-vs-covalent distinction is expressed in terms of electronegativity, which can take a range of values (higher values = more ionic). CO is very much a covalent compound though.
What can you determine about an about an element if you only know its group number on the periodic table?
how many electrons it has in its valence shell usually also some of the characteristics... eg. alkali metals vs. noble gases etc.
What are Differences between covalent bond vs ionic bond?
Covalent is two non-metals sharing electrons while Ionic is a metal and a nonmetal where one takes an electron and changes both of the elements charges for example Nitrogen and Oxygen would be covalent while Iron and Oxygen would be Ionic
Is ZnS an ionic compound?
An ionic compound is formed between a metal and a non-metal. Zinc is a metal and iodine is a non-metal. Zinc needs to lose two electrons in order to have a full outer shell, and iodine needs to gain one electron to have a full outer shell. One zinc atom will form a positive ion (Zn2+), and two iodine atoms will gain one electron each from the zinc atom, forming negative ions (I-). As such, the chemical formula of zinc iodide is ZnI2. The equations below demonstrate this.Zn --> Zn2+ + 2e-2I + 2e- --> 2I-
What is a molecular orbital vs an atomic orbital?
according to MOT each energy level can be occupied by 2 electrons which must have opposite spins these pairs of electrons considered to occupy molecular orbital. so molecular orbital is formed from the overlap of the atomic orbitals of the atoms making up the bond.
What are the mechanical and electrical characteristics of a DC shunt motor?
mechanical characteristics can be drawn between speed and torque electrical characteristics are 1. Output power vs speed 2. Output power vs input power 3. Output power vs efficiency 4. Output power vs torque 5. Output power vs line current
What actors and actresses appeared in DNA vs. the Book of Mormon - 2003?
The cast of DNA vs. the Book of Mormon - 2003 includes: David Glenn Smith as Molecular Anthropologist Randall Shortridge as Molecular Biologist Simon Southerton as Molecular Biologist Trent Southerton as Mormon Scholar Steven Whittington as Anthropologist
What do you call the personal characteristics that influence our political socialization?
Subjectivism vs. Objectivism

Key biographical characteristics and the personality attributes that can influence the behavior of the employees in the department?
Key biographical characteristics include such things as education, previous work experience, and criminal convictions if any. Key personality attributes include such things as intelligence vs. stupidity, honesty vs. dishonesty, and responsibility vs. irresponsibility. For some types of work we could add creativity vs. lack of imagination.

how many electrons it has in its valence shell usually also some of the characteristics... eg. alkali metals vs. noble gases etc.
Why is the formula for milk of magnesia written MgOH2 instead of MgO2H2?
I think what you mean is Mg(OH)2 vs MgO2H2. This is an ionic compound because it has a metal (magnesium). In it, Mg+2 is the cation (positive ion) and OH- is the anion. Because an ionic compound must have a zero net charge, there needs to be two OH- ions to cancel the +2 charge of the magnesium. so in the first formula it is shown that there are two OH- ions, but the second one is incorrect because OH is one ion and the elements are not separately written like that in an ionic compounds formula. hope this helps

What is the structural difference between a fat that is solid at room temperature vs a fat that is a liquid at room temperature?
Usually, the one that is solid has a higher molecular weight
Type of motor used by electric train?
dc series motors are used because of torque vs speed characteristics.
Is iron sulphide an compound?
Yes...though there are several different compounds termed iron sulphide that have different stoichiometries [atomic proportions] and/or crystal structures. For example pyrite [FeS2] vs. troilite [FeS] are different compounds, though both are "iron sulphide".
What does the nature vs nuture question asks?
The nature vs. nurture question asks whether differences in traits and behaviors are due to genetics (nature) or environment (nurture). It explores the influence of genetics and upbringing on a person's development and characteristics.
