HELP An ionic compound contains a single metal cation and a single non-metal atom. What’s the structure of this molecule? Is this molecule polar or non polar? A.) Linear, polar

B.) Trigonal planar, polar

C.) Linear, non-polar

D.) Trigonal planar, non-polar

the answers would be

the first one and the second one

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
