1. Provide a brief explanation of how ionic compounds are made. What are some other names for ionic compounds? What types of elements (or polynomials)
must come together? What happens with electrons of each party involved (be
very specific)? Provide one example of an ionic compound and explain
everyone's role in the making of this compound.

because of all the things that happen around the us, many people get into arguments which sadly could get physical, but we should actually make a change for that.

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
