Question

what kind of charge does an ionic compound carry? 2 points neutral positive negative unknown is a molecule of hydrogen chloride (hcl) polar or nonpolar? 2 points nonpolar covalent bond neither polar covalent bond both a molecule of oxygen gas (o2) is __________. * 2 points nonpolar covalent bond polar covalent bond ionic bond an atom

Explanation:

1. Ionic compounds are electrically neutral because the total positive charge of the cations equals the total negative charge of the anions.
2. In an HCl molecule, chlorine is more electronegative than hydrogen, creating a polar - covalent bond due to the unequal sharing of electrons.
3. In an O₂ molecule, the two oxygen atoms have the same electronegativity, resulting in a non - polar covalent bond as electrons are shared equally.

Answer:

1. neutral
2. polar covalent bond
3. nonpolar covalent bond
