Why are eight electrons (four pairs) surrounding each non-hydrogen atom the optimal electronic arrangement for covalent molecule

rodikova [14]2 years ago
3 0

Eight electrons surrounding each non-hydrogen atom is the optimal electronic arrangement for covalent molecules because it is needed to achieve an octet structure and is necessary to fill both the s and p subshells of electrons.

<h3>What is Covalent bonding?</h3>

This is the type of bonding which involves the sharing of electrons between atoms of an element.

This is done to achieve an octet configuration thereby making them stable and less reactive thereby making it the most appropriate choice.

Suppose we take a 1 m long uniform bar and support it at the 33 cm mark. Hanging a 0.15 kg mass on the short end of the beam res
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The mass of the beam is 0.074 kg

Explanation:

Given;

length of the uniform bar, = 1m = 100 cm

Set up this system with the given mass and support;

  0-----------------33cm-----------------------------------100cm

  ↓                     Δ                                             ↓      

0.15kg                                                              m

Where;

m is mass of the uniform bar

Apply the principle of moment to determine the value of "m"

sum of anticlockwise moment = sum of clockwise moment

 0.15kg(33 - 0) = m(100 - 33)

0.15(33) = m(67)

m = \frac{0.15kg(33 \ cm)}{67 \ cm}\\\\m = 0.074 \ kg

Therefore, the mass of the beam is 0.074 kg

3. Identify three elements and three compounds. How are they<br> similar? How are they different?
Basile [38]

Answer:  A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically joined. Water, salt, and sugar are examples of compounds. When the elements are joined, the atoms lose their individual properties and have different properties from the elements they are composed of.

A box is pulled to the right with a force of 65 N at an angle of 58 degrees to the horizontal. The surface is frictionless. The
Citrus2011 [14]
The free-body diagram is missing, but I assume the only forces acting on the box are the force F pushing the box, the weight of the object and the normal reaction of the surface.

Since the weight and the normal reaction acts in the vertical (y) direction, the only force acting on the box in the horizontal (x) direction is the horizontal component of the force F, which is given by
F_x = F \cos 58^{\circ} = (65 N)(\cos 58^{\circ} )=34.4 N
And so this is the net force in the x-direction.
