1. Which bond will comes apart in water?
answer: ionic
Right
To determine which bond comes apart in water, we need to consider the type of bond, specifically its polarity. In water, polar solvents like water readily dissolve polar compounds.
Ionic bonds are formed between ions with opposite charges, such as a metal cation (positively charged) and a non-metal anion (negatively charged). These bonds are strong and held together by electrostatic attraction. When an ionic compound is placed in water, the water molecules surround the ions and disrupt the ionic bonds, causing the compound to dissociate into its individual ions. This process is known as hydration or solvation.
Therefore, when placed in water, ionic bonds are more likely to come apart compared to other types of bonds such as covalent bonds, which involve the sharing of electrons and are typically less affected by water molecules.
