Identify the covalent compounds based on the names of the compounds. barium nitrate dinitrogen tetroxide boron trifluoride ammonium sulfate carbon tetrachloride barium chloride

Covalent compounds are composed of atoms that are linked via covalent bonds i.e. bonds formed by mutual sharing of electrons. This is in complete contrast to ionic compounds which are held together by ionic bonds, i.e. bonds formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to the other.

In the given examples we have:

Barium nitrate: Ba(NO3)2 - Ionic

Dinitrogen tetroxide: N2O4- Covalent

Boron trifluoride: BF3-Covalent

Ammonium sulfate: (NH4)2SO4- Ionic

Carbon tetrachloride: CCl4- Covalent

Barium chloride: BaCl2 - Ionic

Explanation:

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
