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.

Answer:

B) All carbon atoms have 6 neutrons.

Explanation:

The false statement from the given choices is that all carbon atoms have 6 neutrons.

There is a phenomenon called isotopy in chemistry.

Isotopy is the existence of two or more atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to the differences in the number of neutrons in their various nuclei.

  • These atoms of elements are called isotopes.
  • Carbon atoms generally have proton number of 6 which is the same as the atomic number.
  • As with all atoms, the mass number or atomic mass equals the number of protons and neutrons.

For the isotopes of carbon, their number of neutrons differs.

 For example:

            <em>¹²₆C                           ¹³₆C                        ¹⁴₆C</em>

The number of neutrons differs in the above isotopes.

 Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number;

    ¹²₆C  , number of neutrons  = 12 - 6  = 6

      ¹³₆C, number of neutrons  = 13 - 6  = 7

       ¹⁴₆C, number of neutrons = 14 - 6  = 8

Therefore, based on the concept of isotopy, all carbon atoms do not have 6 neutrons.

Compare the values of the spin quantum number for two electrons in the same orbital
Leokris [45]
If there are 2 electrons in the same orbital, the spin numbers would be different for both of these 2 electrons. One would have an up spin and the other a down spin.
