How does the principle of like dissolves like explain the differing solubilities of solutes in various solvents?
Generally polar solutes are dissolved in polar solvents and nonpolar solutes are dissolved in nonpolar solvents.
How did Dalton explain the diffrences between a mixture and a compound?
This was not a problem of Dalton.
Can you explain what halogenation is?
The process of halogenation is a chemical reaction between a compound, usually an organic compound and a halogen. An example of halogenation is fluorination or chlorination.
How do you explain sugar is not ionizable but it dissolves the water?
Sugar is an organic compound, it contains covalent bonds. Things such as salt (NaCl) form ionic bonds, so they can dissociate in water as ions (Na+ Cl-). The solubility of organic compounds have to do with their polarity. Sugar is polar so it will dissolve in a polar solvent such as water. (like dissolves like)
Explain how concrete is a mixture and not a pure substance?
Concrete is a mixture of different substances (compounds) not a sinle compound.

Use complete sentences to explain why AlCl3 is called “aluminum chloride” (no prefix required), but BCl3 is called “boron trichloride.”?
Ionic compounds do not have prefixes but covalent compounds have prefixes. “Aluminum chloride” is a ionic compound and "boron tri-chloride” is a covalent compound.
When Magnesium chloride is a ionic compound and Hcl is acovalent compound but both form ion in aqueos solution Explain?
because hcl is a polar covalent compound therefore it results in a fractional negative and positive on them .thus it ionize in water.
What determines how many covalent bonds two atoms can make Explain?
if a compound is bonded with four other atoms to satisfy its valancy then it is said to be a covalent compound.
Ethene dissolves in con H2SO4 ethane does not explain?
Ethene is an unsaturated compound so adds up one molecule of sulphuric acid and addition product becomes dissolved in acid but ethane is a saturated compound so does not react and dissolves in sulphuric acid.
Why is sweet tea a solution explain answer?
it has dissolved substances in it
How does network covalent bonds explain golds properties?
Nothing.
Explain the role played by dissolved oxygen in the general mechanism proposed to explain the various steps in crevice corrosion?
Dissolved Oxygen(usually between 20 - 60 ppm) reacts with H2O and the delocalized (conductive) electrons on the surface metal O2 + H2O + 4e- to form 4(OH)- ions that in turn draw the now charged (Fe2+) ions out into solution as 2Fe(OH)2...RUST
Explain how it is possible for a compound to have both ionic and covalent bounds?
Sodium sulfate is ionically bonded between the sodium ion and the sulfate ion. However, the sulfate ion is covalently bonded between the sulfur and the oxygens.
Explain what covalent bonds are and their role in combining atoms?
covalent bond is a type of bond between atoms in which the electrons are shared.
Is aluminum chloride a covalent or ionic compound?
Aluminum chloride is an ionic compound because aluminum is a metal and chlorine is a nonmetal. When a metal and a nonmetal are combined they make up an ionic compound. Incorrect. Aluminium Chloride is covalent.
Can you explain what mixtures are?
types of compound
