Answer 5

so c?

Answer 6

Yes, Ma'am / Sir.

Answer 7

sir XD Marlene is my girlfriend, I am Tylo

Answer 8

You can actually learn quite a lot about the covelant compounds if you look up "The wave theory"

Answer 9

Nice to meet you Tylo! :)

Answer 10

Welcome to Openstudy by the way.

Answer 11

thank you!

Answer 12

Do you mind helping with one more?

Answer 13

element.

Answer 15

Well, do you know what happens when a bond creates between a metal and a nonmetal?

Answer 16

well the question asks about salt, in general I guess.

Answer 29

I would say yes.
Salts are usually made up of ions, not molecules.

Answer 30

thank you!!! :0)

Answer 31

They are mostly made up of Cations and Anions, which is positively charges Ions and negative charged.

Answer 32

Wait.!

Answer 33

I misread the first question, thanks to @peachpi for pointing that out! :)

Answer 34

Tylo you there? :/
