33. An experiment is performed in a class. The product of the reaction is granular blue powder. Explain how you would go about determining the type of compound that was formed. Explain
the test you would use, and explain how the results of the test would tell you if a substance was
ionic or covalent.

The characteristics of two different types of reactions are shown below: reaction a: electrons are gained by the atoms of an element. reaction b: protons are lost by the atom of an element. which statement is true about the atoms of the elements that participate in the two reactions? their identity changes in both reaction a and reaction b. their identity changes in reaction a but not in reaction b. their identity changes in reaction b but not in reaction a. their identity remains the same in both reaction a and reaction b.
