Answer:

priyanshu kumar

1. Covalent compounds are usually liquids or gases. Only some of them are solids.

2. Covalent compounds have usually low melting point and low boiling points.

3. Covalent compounds are usually insoluble in water but they are soluble in organic solvents.

4. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity.

Question 2. Asked on :02 September 2019:07:51:22 PM

Why two chlorine atoms share one electron each to form a chlorine molecule?

-Added by Himanshi Verma Science » Metals And Non Metal

Answer:

priyanshu kumar
The atomic number of chlorine is 17, so its electronic configuration is 2,8,7. Chlorine atom has 7 electrons in its outermost shell and needs 1 more electron to complete the octet and become stable. It gets this electron by sharing with another chlorine atom. So, two chlorine atoms share one electron each to form a chlorine molecule.

Question 3. Asked on :02 September 2019:07:43:34 PM

Why the chemical bond present in calcium chloride is an ionic bond?

-Added by Himanshi Verma Science » Metals And Non Metal

Answer:

priyanshu kumar
The positively charged calcium ions and negatively charged chloride ions are held together by electrostatic force of attraction. So, the chemical bond present in calcium chloride (CaCl₂) is an ionic bond.

Question 4. Asked on :02 September 2019:07:39:10 PM

Why helium is the only inert gas having less than 8 electrons in its outermost shell ?

-Added by Himanshi Verma Science » Metals And Non Metal

Answer:

priyanshu kumar
The usual number of electrons in the outermost shell of the atom of a noble gas is 8. Only in the case of one noble gas helium, the number of outermost electrons is 2. So, the helium is the only inert gas having less than 8 electrons in its outermost shell.

Question 5. Asked on :02 September 2019:07:27:57 PM

What would you observe when zinc is added to a solution of (II) sulphate?

-Added by Himanshi Verma Science » Metals And Non Metal

Answer:

Master Purushottam
When zinc is added to a solution of iron (II) sulphate, then the greenish colour of iron (II) sulphate solution fades gradually due to the formation of colourless zinc sulphate and iron metal is deposited on zinc.

Question 6. Asked on :02 September 2019:05:47:51 PM

Why sodium metal is more reactive than copper?

-Added by Himanshi Verma Science » Metals And Non Metal

Answer:

priyanshu kumar
Sodium is at the top of the reactivity series and hence highly reactive than copper.Sodium contains only 1 electron in its outer most shell and hence losses this electron easily and forms a cation and form chemical bonds easily with other elements forming compounds

Question 12. Asked on :29 August 2019:06:20:49 PM

Why ionic compounds is also known as electrovalent compounds?

-Added by Himanshi Verma Science » Metals And Non Metal

Answer:

Nishant Verma
Ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electron.Due to this anion and cation exist in ionic compounds and there is a force of attraction between these positively charged and negatively charged ions and these forces are electrovalent in nature. So the ionic compounds are called electrovalent compounds.
