Oliga [24]1 year ago

Maximum number of covalent bonds that an oxygen atom can make with hydrogen is 2.

  • the ground state electronic configuration of oxygen is 2s² 2p⁴ that means it has 6 electrons in its valence shell and require two electrons are required to complete its octate.
  • Two bonds are created when an electron donor atom shares the two needed electrons with oxygen. The ability of two oxygen atoms to share valence electrons results in the creation of a double bond between the two atoms.
  • There are no longer any empty orbitals in the octet of oxygen after it is complete. As a result, it is unable to accept more electrons or create more bonds.

Therefore, Oxygen can only generate two bonds because it needs two additional electrons to complete its octet, after which it will run out of empty orbitals in which to receive additional electrons and create additional bonds.

<h3>How are elements named?</h3>

Elements have been given names based on a variety of factors, <u>including their characteristics</u>, the compound or ore from which they were extracted, the method by which they were found or acquired, mythical characters, locations, and well-known individuals. Some components have <u>names that are descriptive and are based on one of their attributes.</u>

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry chooses the official element names and symbols (IUPAC). However, different nations frequently use similar names and symbols for elements. Official names and symbols for elements are not given until after their discovery has been confirmed. The discoverer may then suggest a name and a symbol.

There are name standards for several element groupings. Names of halogens end in -ine. All noble gas names, save helium, end in -on. The names of most other elements finish with -ium.

Answer:

Nuclear power comes from nuclear fission

Nuclear power plants use heat produced during nuclear fission to heat water. In nuclear fission, atoms are split apart to form smaller atoms, releasing energy. Fission takes place inside the reactor of a nuclear power plan
