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.

Predict which molecule will show a similar relationship between its heat of fusion and its heat vaporization that water does
BaLLatris [955]

Question:

A) C6H6

B) CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2COH6

C) NaCl

D) NH3

Answer:

The correct option is;

A) C₆H₆

Explanation:

Heat of fusion = 6.02 kJ/mol

Heat of vaporization =40.8 kJ/mol

Here, we analyze each of the options as follows

A) C₆H₆

Benzene has a melting point of 5.5° C and a boiling point of

80.1 ° C similar to water

Heat of fusion = 9.92 kJ/mol

Heat of vaporization =30.8kJ/mol

B) CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂COH₆

The above compound is more likely solid

C) NaCl solid

D) NH₃ melting point = -77.73 °C boiling point =  -33.34 °C

Of the above, the compounds the one  that closely resembles water is C₆H₆
