Normally, if the difference in electronegativity is larger than 1.7, then it is more ionic than covalent; equals 1.7, 50% covalent 50% ionic; smaller than 1.7, more covalent than ionic. Thus, you can also use this as a guideline to judge whether a binary compound (like NaCl) is ionic ...
The solubility of a compound in a particular solvent says so much about the interaction to which the solute and the solvent will have. If the interaction between the two is favorable then the solubility of the solute in that solvent is high. The opposite is true when the interaction is ...
and, as is so common with failures in the lab, he ended up with a nasty, black solid residue in the bottom of his flask. While cleaning the flask, he found that the mess contained a purple-colored compound tha...
I’m basically an explorer. Even if exploration doesn’t come naturally to you, I believe scientists of every temperament can learn to explore. I'd like to help everyone here become more creative, more open to opportunity, and, perhaps, be able to experience the thrill of making a discover...
When making a solution, it's handy to know if one thing will dissolve in another. After all, if somebody wants you to make them a liquid solution of one chemical, it won't make you look good if you bring them a beaker of liquid with sludge sitting at the bottom because you chose ...
Alright? Now for the last 2, like I said, you are going to have to draw proper Lewis structures in order to know if it has its dipole or not. Okay? Because it can get a little tricky if you don't draw the Lewis structure.Show more An aqueous solution is one with water...
However, it would be principally impossible to solve the mystery from the standpoint of this hypothesis because any gene encoding a mature protein could never be formed in the absence of a target protein or in the absence of protein, even if RNA could be produced on primitive Earth. On the...

Now that we have examined the trials of space-farming research, let's look closer about why this research is so fundamental to future space exploration. One Giant Leap for Grasshoppers Whether or not they have wings, some insects might get the chance to fly if selected to go in space and...
Plants contain a lot of cellulose, an organic compound that helps keep plant cell walls stiff. Cellulose is great at absorbing water, which is why we make towels out of cotton instead of polyester. Water molecules cling to cellulose and climb along it through a process called capillary action...
