" I also personally believe that re-explaining a topic explained in countless textbooks does not add anything other than a statistical data point to the site."
Do covalent compounds have ions? There is a question in my textbook:
Ions are particles that exist a) only in water solutions b) in some
crystals c) in polar covalent compounds d) in covalent compounds that
are not polar
I chose C, but B is the correct answer... isn't HCl a counter-exma...
Many a question asked here is barely understandable, and it seems we're very reluctant to point this out, obviously because it's hard to do so in a polite and helpful manner, without knowing about the background of an OP.
Such questions then usually get ignored or closed as "unclear", which is n...
So, copper metal has a brown color, indicating that it reflects red light and absorbs green and blue light. Copper compounds, on the other hand, tend to reflect green and blue and absorb red.
Is there an explanation for why copper compounds tend to reflect the same frequencies that copper metal absorbs? Or is it pretty much a coincidence?
