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

s?

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.

On gasoline powered boats, when should the blower be activated
Verizon [17]
In gasoline powered boats, it is important to keep in mind the proper procedures in handling before activating the engine or your boat. Such as activating the blower. In activating the blower, it is advisable to turn it on after minutes of refueling and the engine should be activated afterwards. It is important to keep in mind to wait for a couple of minutes before turning it on because gasoline powered boats if not used or handled properly could cause harm such as explosion for it uses gasoline.

If zak's speed is 3.00 m/s when he starts to slide, what distance d will he slide before stopping? express your answer in meters
OverLord2011 [107]
That will depend on the coefficient of friction between the sliding surfaces, and also on Zak's weight. We don't have any of that information.

HURRY Which change is an example of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

C.  changing nuclear energy to radiant energy

Explanation:

Nuclear energy takes atoms in their potential state, split them (fission) or fuse them (fusion)  creating chain reactions of radiant energy.  Most nuclear electrical power plants use fission, radiant energy heats water making steam to spin turbines.

Or think of the atom bomb.  Definitely potential energy until the fuse starts detonation and chain reactions.  The radiant kinetic energy and shock waves were horrendous.

Which list places the layers of the sun in the correct order from innermost to outermost?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Convective zone, chromosphere, corona

Explanation:

A star like the Sun is divided into different layers according to pressure, density, temperature, and the mechanics of energy transport (in the case of the convective zone and radiative zone) for each of those layers.

In stars, there is an equilibrium between two forces, the force of gravity in the inward direction due to their own mass and the radiation pressure in the upward direction as a consequence of the nuclear reaction in their core, that is known as hydrostatic equilibrium.

That leads to different layers according with the properties described above.    

       

Near the core, in the Sun, there is a radiative zone since radiation is the best mechanism of energy transport in this area. Then, in the next layer, it can be found that convection becomes a more efficient way of energy transport that radiation due to the fact that the inner part of the convection zone is at a greater temperature than the outer one.    

Finally, there is the atmosphere of the Sun (chromosphere, photosphere, and corona).

                                       

Key terms:        

Convection: Transport of energy due to different in density and temperature of a material (liquid, gas).
