Question

Which of the following contains ionic bonding?

H2O2

PO33-

P2O5

AlCl3

Answer 1

PLEASE HELP!!

Answer 2

I would say D AlCl3.

covalent bonding is when 2 or more elements share electrons (usually when nonmetals bond with nonmetals)

ionic bonding is when one element steals another's electrons (usually when nonmetals bond with metals)

Answer 3

Ok awesome thanks can i ask you another question??

Answer 4

No problem :) Sure, fire away.

Answer 5

ok
If the formula for a compound is represented by X2Y3 and the charge on the Y ion is -2, what is the charge in the X ion?

+1

+2

+3

+4

Answer 6

I would think it would be +3.

Because you have 2 X's and you have 3 Y's.

If Y has a charge of -2. That makes it -6. Cause -3 x 2= -6

To balance that out. The charge of X would have to be +3. Which would be 2 x 3 = 6

And therefore -6 + 6 = 0 so it's balanced.

Answer 7

ok that makes alot of sense now lol thanks for helping me:)

Answer 8
