What is a bismuthide?
A bismuthide is any compound of bismuth with a more electropositive element.
Are chemical symbols placed in a certain way in a chemical formula?
more electropositive element first, followed by electronegative elements
What is the charge of a dipolar molecule?
actually a bipolar molecule(dipole) in isolation doesn't have any charge.But when it comes near a electropositive or electronegative element/ion it develops pseudo negative charge(for electropositive ion) or pseudo positive charge(for electronegative ion).
What is a zincation?
A zincate is a salt formally derived from zinc oxide or hydroxide by combination with a more electropositive element.
Which halogen is more electropositive?
Flourine is most electropositive as it is smallest and has fewest shells to shield the positive charge of the nucleus.
What is the most electropositive element?
Cesium is the most electropositive stable element. Francium is more electropositive (at least in theory) but only about 30 grams exists on the entire planet as it is highly radioactive so no one has been able to check.cesium is most electropositive element in periodic table.Ceasium
What is an aluminide?
An aluminide is an intermetallic compound of aluminium and a more electropositive element.
What is a bismuthide?
A bismuthide is any compound of bismuth with a more electropositive element.
Why isn't francium the most electropositive element?
Francium is the most able element to donate electrons !
What are compounds composed of the element carbon called?
A binary compound of carbon with more electropositive element is called a Carbide
How does chlorine become chloride?
When It combines with an electropositive element like Sodium,Potassium or,calciumm
Why is the bondbetween an electropositive and electronegative atom ionic in nature?
an electropositive element gives electrons to electronegative elements and this complete transfer of electrons creates an ionic bond
What is the low electro positive element in 5th group in periodic table?
Vinidium (V) atomic number 23 is the lowest electropositive element in this group.
Are chemical symbols placed in a certain way in a chemical formula?
more electropositive element first, followed by electronegative elements
Why is hydrogen the only element not placed in a group on the periodic table?
due to its dual nature having both the characteristics of electropositive and electronegative
What is the charge of a dipolar molecule?
actually a bipolar molecule(dipole) in isolation doesn't have any charge.But when it comes near a electropositive or electronegative element/ion it develops pseudo negative charge(for electropositive ion) or pseudo positive charge(for electronegative ion).
Ionic formed when?
Whenever an electropositive element (metal) reacts with an electronegative element (non metal) the transfer of electron takes place from metal to a non-metal forming ionic bond.
