How is electron movement related to covalent bonding in ammonia, NH3?

A) Electrostatic sharing in a sea of electrons around the atoms allows bonds to form.
B) The atomic orbitals overlap and electrons are shared between the atoms forming bonds.
C) A transfer of electrons forms ions which are electrostatically attracted forming bonds.
D) Orbital exchange occurs between the atoms to redistribute the electrons and form bonds.

The electron movement related to covalent bonding in ammonia, NH3 is The atomic orbitals overlap and electrons are shared between the atoms forming bonds. The answer is letter B.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

A) The sea of electrons only happen with metalic bond, a bond with two metalic elements.

B) As both elements in ammonia (N and H) are non-metals we don't observe an transfer of electrons, both elements share the number of electrons needed to stablize it (3 electrons for the N and 1 for the H).

C) To have a transfer of electrons, we need a bond between a metal and a non-metal, in this case, N and H are non-metals, so this doesn't happen.

D) The electrons are shared, only the electrons nothing happens between the orbitals.

Which of the following is TRUE? A) The equivalence point is where the amount of acid equals the amount of base during any acid-b

liberstina [14]

Answer:

the correct option is B

Explanation:

The correct option is b, since if we reach pH 7, it means that the acid-base reaction is neutralized, therefore the base has been neutralized by an acid or vice versa, without taking into account the proteins or the amounts of both components .

An alpha particle is equivalent to the nucleus of an atom of which element?(1 point)

Monica [59]

Answer: An alpha-particle is identical to the nucleus of a normal (atomic mass four) helium atom i.e. a doubly ionised helium atom. Alpha particles (also termed alpha radiation or alpha rays) was the first nuclear radiation to be discovered, beta particles and gamma rays were identified soon after.

Balance this equation. Pb(NO3)2(aq)+NaCl(aq) -> NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

const2013 [10]

Answer:

Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2NaCl(aq) -> 2NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

Explanation:

Pb(NO3)2(aq)+NaCl(aq) -> NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

This is how it starts out.

Left:

2 NO3s
1 Pb
1 Na
1 Cl

Right

1 Na
1 NO3
1 Pb
2 Cl

So the place to start with this equation is to bring the Cls up to 2

Pb(NO3)2(aq)+2NaCl(aq) -> NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

But the Nas are now out of kilter.

Pb(NO3)2(aq)+ 2NaCl(aq) -> NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

Now the right has a problem. There's only 1 Na

Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2 NaCl(aq) -> 2NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

Check it out. It looks like we are done.

What gives the gem amethyst its purplish color?

Semenov [28]

The question is asking us to determine what gives the Amethyst its purplish color. Amethyst colors range from light to dark purple. The most highly regarded are the transparent deep purple colors. Amethyst ( chemical formula: Si O2 ) is the purple variety of the mineral Quartz.The pure Quartz is often colorless. Amethyst gets its purplish color because of the presence of Iron ( Fe ) and other impurities in the gem. Answer: C. Iron.<span /><span />
