Question

10 substance m is a blue, brittle solid. substance n is a colorless, flammable gas. what can we predict about the compound created when m and n form a covalent bond? a it will be a liquid, since m is a solid and n is a gas. b it will be blue, since m is blue and n is colorless. c it will probably be flammable, since n is flammable. d theres no way to tell based on the information given.

Explanation:

The properties of elements do not necessarily translate directly to the properties of the compound they form. Just because M is a solid and N is a gas doesn't mean the compound is a liquid. Color and flammability of elements also don't guarantee the same for the compound.

Answer:

D. There's no way to tell based on the information given.
