O2 gas, where there are two Oxygen atoms which are covalently bonded together
Answer:
In science, amodel is a representation of an idea, an object or even a process or a system that is used to describe and explain phenomena that cannot be experienced directly. Models are central to what scientists do, both in their research as well as when communicating their explanations.
Explanation:
The mass number of this particular element is 37
An element with 17 protons will ALWAYS be chlorine.
The mass number is found by adding the element’s protons and neutrons.
protons+neutrons=mass number
Here is the math if needed,
17+20=37
Therefore the mass number is 37
I hope this helped!
Forming a covalent bond
A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share a pair of electrons. Covalent bonding occurs in most non-metal elements, and in compounds formed between non-metals.
These shared electrons are found in the outer shells of the atoms. Usually each atom contributes one electron to the shared pair of electrons.
The slideshow shows how a covalent bond forms between a hydrogen atom and a chlorine atom, making hydrogen chloride.
Structures of a hydrogen atom and a chlorine atom.
1. A hydrogen atom with one electron and a chlorine atom with 17 electrons
Molecules
Most covalently bonded substances consist of small molecules. A molecule is a group of two or more atoms joined together by covalent bonds. Molecules of the same element or compound always contain the same number of atoms of each element.
The atoms in a molecule are always joined together by a covalent bond. Substances that are made up of ions do not form molecules.
Sizes of atoms and simple molecules
A small molecule contains only a few atoms, so atoms and small molecules have a similar range of sizes. They are very small, typically around 0.1 nm or 1 × 10-10 m across.

<span>Avogadro's number.
1 mole of any substance, molecule or element is equal to a certain amount of atom.
6.022 x 10^23 is the Avogradro's constant.
Magnesium Oxide is a compound. therefore if you have 30.3 g of it (1 mol), it will have the same number of atoms.
34.69 moles of MgO has 208.9 x 10^23 number of atoms.
2.089 x 10^25 is also a correct answer.</span><span>
