Based on this data, identify the type bonds present in each sample.

  1. Sample A is a metal.

    Sample B is a salt.

    Sample C is a molecule.

  2. Sample A is a molecule.

    Sample B is a metal.

    Sample C is a salt.

  3. Sample A is a salt.

    Sample B is a metal.

    Sample C is a molecule.

  4. Sample A is a molecule.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Ans : (A) Sample $A$ is metal

(B) Sample $B$ is a salt
(C) Sample $C$ is a molecule
Note : - (1) We know that metal possers shiny properties and it is a good conductor of electricity.
(2) Ionic salt is dissolved in water make an electrically conductive solution. Ionic compound is formed from strong electrostatic interaction between ions which result in a higher melting point.
(3) Molecule do not have free $e^{\ominus}$ to conduct the Electricity.
