Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. the two metals are melted, mixed, and then solidified. how would you best classify brass? a) homogeneous mixture b) heterogeneous mixture c) pure substance: mixture d) pure substance: compound

The Answer is A) homogeneous mixture

Explanation:

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.  

explanation: it gains negative electrons, therefore becoming negatively charged. as charge cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred, this leaves the wool positive. now that they have opposite charges, the two items attract.
