In the compound potassium nitrate (KNO3), the atoms within the nitrate ion are held together with COVALENT bonding, and the potassium ion and nitrate ion are held together by IONIC bonding.
A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs. Covalent bond is formed between two non-metals.
Ionic bonds form when one atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom. It is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between oppositely charged atoms. Ionic bond is formed between metal (electropositive element) and non-metal(electronegative element)
In nitrate ions the Nitrogen (N) and Oxygen (O) both are non-metals and it involves the sharing of electron pairs between N and O atoms, so the bonding in Nitrate (
) ion is covalent bonding.
In potassium nitrate , Potassium (K) is a metal and Nitrate () ion is non-metal and it involves the complete transfer of valence electron between oppositely charged atoms (K+) and (). So the bonding between Potassium and Nitrate is Ionic bonding.
NOTE : Bonding between Non-metals is Covalent bonding.
Bonding between Metal and Non-metals is Ionic bonding.
First let us determine the electronic configuration of
Bromine (Br). This is written as:
Br = [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p5
Then we must recall that the greatest effective nuclear
charge (also referred to as shielding) greatly increases as distance of the
orbital to the nucleus also increases. So therefore the electron in the
farthest shell will experience the greatest nuclear charge hence the answer is:

F = ma = (kg)(m/s2) = kg ´ m/s2 N
hope this helps :D
Heat
gained in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the
specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is
expressed as follows:<span>
Heat = mC(T2-T1)</span>
1540 = 200.0 (C)(40 - 20)
<span>
<span>C = 0.385 J / g C</span></span>

<u>Given:</u>
Concentration of Ba(OH)2 = 0.348 M
<u>To determine:</u>
pOH of the above solution
<u>Explanation:</u>
Based on the stoichiometry-
1 mole of Ba(OH)2 is composed of 1 mole of Ba2+ ion and 2 moles of OH- ion
Therefore, concentration of OH- ion = 2*0.348 = 0.696 M
pOH = -log[OH-] = - log[0.696] = 0.157
Ans: pOH of 0.348M Ba(OH)2 is 0.157
