Question

in which pair do both compounds exhibit predominantly lonic bonding?1 RbCl and MgO2. Na2S03 and NH33. SC12 and HF4. BaF and H20A Kl and 03

Answer 1

Ionic bonding is a strong type of bonding, in which will occur predominantly with metals + nonmetals, because of their difference in electronegativity, so for our question, we are looking for metals and nonmetals together since they are likely to form ionic bonds

A. RbCl and MgO

In this case, we have a situation that perfectly follows the explanation, a metal + nonmetal, both compounds are ionic

B. Na2SO3 and NH3

Although we have an ionic bonding with Na2SO3, NH3 will present a more covalent type of bonding

C. SC12 and HF

HF is considered to be covalent

D. BaF and H2O

H2O is a polar covalent compound, it has charges but not as much as an ionic compound

Therefore the best answer will be number 1 or letter A
