well since it went through your beaker there are definitely fluoride anions in there. im thinking it may be pentafluoroantimonic, hexafluorosilicic or a crazy solution of sulfuric with hydrofluoric

speaking of potassium iodide, a better way than using chlorine is to use a powerful oxidizing agent like hydrogen peroxide

actually, you may want to react it with an acid to make nitrogen dioxide, as you could probably collect it and make some nitric

actually, the answer is ice, hands down. whats funny is that i sorta read the others and forgot about ice. ice is first, ammonia is second, then hydrogen sulfide, ethanol and methane

well, the alkali oxides becomes the hydroxides in water, do they not?

i was using linus pauling's definition and his electronegativities. according to pauling the electronegativity of fluorine is 3.98, and that of hydrogen is 2.20 which is a difference of 1.78. pauling said that a bond with an electronegativity difference greater than 1.7 is an ionic bond, thus making HF an ionic compound. of course, the terms "ionic bonding" and "electronegativity" are all subjective to one's opinion, so it's up to you

speaking of ohio, did anybody hear about bush receiving like 36000 votes in one county where about 3600 people were registered to vote?

well, alkali metals are the anhydrides of their hydroxides. they don't dissolve; they react and become hydroxides, which then dissolve

are you kidding me man? the british invaded india, took their opium and used it to get the entire chinese government addicted and stoned as a means to eliminate resistance in china

aluminum is quite an active metal. if you look at the alkali metals, they do the same thing too because oxygen is very electronegative and aluminum has a low ionization energy

HF is ionically bonded in the first place tho... one could say that hydrogen bonding occurs in aqueous HF, but it wouldnt occur between HF and diethyl ether

i'd say the solid ammonia because it leaves a nice negative backside of a nitrogen and groups the hydrogen on the other side

hydrogen bonding tends to be more present in larger organic macromolecules like proteins and such

nope

if there is an object with a mass of, say, 80 tons traveling at a rate of 236.9312m/s, hypothetically, and it hypothetically crashes into a wall, would you happen to know, offhand, the force of impact? or whatever it is that knocks the wall down.

it's funny you say that. england conquered territories and eliminated all opposition (including governments) with haste and an iron fist. the primary goal was not for trade as much as it was for mercantalism. the english would conquer and completely exploit the resources of recently conquered land as well as the labor of inhabitants (think triangular trade). the mongols were similar in that they conquered adjacent territories and also instilled great fear into enemies by committing fearsome actions. the mongols were not mercantalistic, however. rather, they managed a large empire instead of colonizing and exploiting the resources of their foes. that was in 1206.

it all depends ont he compound's shape and structure really. if you give me some examples i can explain if there is hydrogen bonding present and how it affects the molecule

are you serious? they united asia man. in the late 1300s timur leng tried to reclaim the empire but he messed it up by just conquering and never achieving social and political stability. the earlier mongols were successful in doing so.

it does change. could you explain how you arrived at your conclusion??

india, canada, australia and other places including africa. compare that to all of asia, save a few small corners and the islands. under genghis, the mongols defeated the poles and were pushing the bavarians back. in fact, it took the death of ogotei, his successor, to end the mongol rush through europe. before ogotei's death, the mongols had reached central europe. add half of europe to asia and you get a large empire

um.....if you add water to vinegar (i take it the vinegar is 5% ethanoic acid) it becomes more dilute...

the mongol empire was larger...

israel, buddy most successful? wealth power and cultural legacy? define "successful" and justify that statement. i can think of a few contenders. whats with the wealth power and cultural legacy? they shamelessly exploited the resources of various colonies in a mercantalist manner. thats not cool. power? yeah, but they also used it too much (armitsar massacre ring a bell, anyone?) and it backfired. cultural legacy? they destroyed more culture (chinese government during opium wars) than they preserved.

C3H8 is an empirical formula; you cant divide the 3 and 8 by anything and get whole numbers

oh i completely agree that the world was not represented in tuesday's elections and that they should not have the final decision on the outcome of our elections, but i was just wondering your opinions of the survey
