NaOH
View source
What happens to the pH of a solution when sodium hydroxide dissolves?
The
pH increases significantly
View source
How does the structure of silicon dioxide compare to other non-metal oxides?
It has a higher
melting point
due to
covalent bonds
View source
What is the significance of the charge density in magnesium oxide?
Higher charge density leads to stronger
attraction
View source
What is produced when magnesium reacts with water?
Magnesium hydroxide and
hydrogen gas
View source
Why is aluminium oxide considered to have some covalent character?

combusts
with a small heat
View source
What is the significance of the state symbols in chemical reactions?
They indicate the physical state of
substances
View source
What is the relationship between the type of bonding and the melting points of group three oxides?
Higher
bonding strength
leads to higher melting points
