Which is an example of a compound ? and why ?

water

iodine

gold

sand

Water

Explanation:

A compound can be defined as the bonding of two or more atoms, where at least two are different types of atoms. That is, they are atoms from more than one element. Water fits this definition as it is the bonding between two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, with chemical formula H2O. Iodine and gold are elements and therefore are only single atoms. Sand is classified as a mixture and therefore is not the correct option.

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
