What's the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

In an ionic bond, atoms transfer electrons to become ions, which are charged particles. For example, sodium is a neutral atom and so is chlorine.However, sodium transfers the electron in its outer valence shell to chlorine. In doing so, sodium becomes positvely charged and chlorine becomes negative. In covalent bonds the bonds are not transferred, but rather, they are "shared" between atoms. In water molecules, hydrogen and oxygen atoms do not transfer their electrons. They share them. However, the oxygen is a little more electronegative than hydrogen so it "hogs" the electrons giving it a partial negative charge and making water a polar molecule but that's a whole different topic.

Answer from: Quest

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6

Answer from: Quest

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.

Write 15 uses of a mercury barometer along with its characterestics
