Ascientist calculated the energy required to break bonds in two unknown compounds, a and b. one compound has a covalent bond, and the other has an ionic bond. the table shows a record of these values. bond energy compound a compound b 769 kj/mol 432 kj/mol based on the table, which of the following statements is true? compound a is covalent because transfer of electrons makes relatively stronger bonds. compound b is covalent because sharing of electrons makes relatively weaker bonds. compound a is ionic because sharing of electrons makes relatively stronger bonds. compound b is ionic because transfer of electrons makes relatively weaker bonds.

Compound B is covalent because sharing of electrons makes relatively weaker bonds.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds: Type of chemical bonds in which transfer of electrons from less electro-negative atom to highly electro-negative atom occurs and with higher value of bond energy.

Covalent bonds: Type of a chemical bond in which sharing of an electrons between the two atoms occurs. Here electro-negativity difference between the atom is very less or zero. Lower value of the bond energy than that of the ionic bonds.

Bond energy of compound A is 769 kJ/mol higher than the bond energy of the compound B that is 432 kJ/mol which means that compound A is ionic  and compound B is covalent.

So, compound B is covalent because sharing of electrons makes relatively weaker bonds.

compound b is covalent because of sharing of electrons makes relatively weaker bonds.

answer: cellular respiration takes in food and uses it to create atp, a chemical which the cell uses for energy. usually, this process uses oxygen, and is called aerobic respiration. it has four stages known as glycolysis, link reaction, the krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.
