Question

1. You have three elements, A, B, and C, with the following electronegativity values:
A = 0.9
B = 3.0
C = 3.5
You react the elements to form the substances AB, AC, and BC. Answer the following questions:
• What type of substance is AB? What types of bonds are present? Explain your answer.
• What type of substance is AC? What types of bonds are present? Explain your answer.
• What type of substance is BC? What types of bonds are present? Explain your answer.
• If any of the substances are ionic compounds, which element is the cation and which is the anion? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

A ) AB is a compound . Ionic compound because the electronegativity differs a lot in both !

Answer 2

B) Same

C ) Compound . But the bond between them is covalent .

D ) AB is an ionic compound . A is the cation and B is the anion
